Hmm, I may have to try Crossfit after my marathon...we'll see. I've noticed as I've gotten older I am able to more easily put on muscle, and while toned is great, I dont care for the muscles popping out look, any issues with that?

I've been at it for 6 months and not gotten bulky, but you will get more definition in things like your quads, glutes, lats, and traps because we use them frequently.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Rae Rae, I do mostly raw, would love to go 100% but I still liked some cooked stuff (pasta, beans) and sometimes its just for convenience to go grab something on the go. But I eat tons of salad, raw veggies and when i am not lazy, smoothies.

My diet is always a work in progress and I have to be mindful of what I eat to make sure I am getting enough of what I need since I don't have the safety net of eating meat. I feel great when I am eating mostly raw vs less raw and need less sleep (2 hours less than usual) and less recovery time in general.

I don't look as lean and toned as I did 10 years ago when I was working out all the time and had a faster metabolism but I think I am doing OK for being 33 and 108lbs without counting calories and working out a ton

Eating raw is not just about fruit and veggies, there are raw nuts, raw nut milks, raw bee pollen, raw unfiltered honey just to name a few. This is a good starter book-

As far as organic goes, I try to abide by the clean 10 and dirty dozen. Also when I do eat eggs and drink bovine milk, its organic.

Just cause you're on a diet, doesn't mean you can't look at the menu...

Thanks Tsunami! I know there's no way I can give up my meats and pasta yet, maybe one day, but I figure if I make sure it's organic and clean thats better than nothing! I'm with ya on the older thing...thus why I am trying to clean up my act. I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but I don't want to look like one of those scary old ladies with all the bones sticking out, so I'm trying to balance my running with other stuff.

Organic and clean is a great start! And cutting down or out processed foods.

I just bought myself a bicycle today and some swim stuff (learning how to swim). Maybe there is a super short triathalon in my future. We should pick a destination race and do it together!

And I am sure when I am old, I am going to be an scary old lady with the bones jutting out
