the evil ploy to make me eat meat continues…
i am currently training for the rock ‘n roll marathon (san diego 6/5). training was going well until my ankles decided they’d had enough. the sports medicine doctor said i have chronic ankle instability and signed me up for three weeks of physical therapy. my physical therapist is tough and not vegan friendly. her fist comment about my diet was “you’re never going to make it to the finish line on tofu.” well, i happen to know vegetarians who’ve completed marathons so i quickly dismissed this nonsense. all the while, i’ve been getting chills during and after my runs and dizzy spells after. i thought it might be low blood sugar related since i’ve had problems with this in the past. i went to the doctor on monday to have it checked out. he was also quick to tell me i needed more protein in my diet.
it am determined more than ever to finish this marathon. i want to prove them wrong. i am strong and healthy. and yes, i think Pheidippides could have made his 26 mile trek on tofu.
