I’m about two months away from being a vegetarian for 2 years. It was hard at first because everyone else in my family eats meat. When I first started I also would slip with things like gelatin in food. I would support anyone who chooses this. I just feel healthier overall.

I’ve gone on two separate trips (each a week long) down to Bay St. Louis Mississippi for hurricane relief. The last trip was summer 07, it’s still really bad down there. There is only about one third of the population thats come back (or less). I stayed at Camp Coastel in Kiln county which is a volunteer camp for workers who come down to help. The people are so grateful for any help that they get,it’s an eye opening experience.
btw-the picture is from New Orleans when we went the last day of the trip.

I’m going to attempt the Chicago marathon this year and I have 28 days left. Problem is, My long runs haven’t gotten nearly as long as they should be. I run by myself so its hard to keep going sometimes. I’m gonna go for it anyway and just see if I can finish. Maybe all the other runners, and people cheering can help carry me through the race.
