Final Countdown to Half Marathon for the Twins

As most of you already know we are running in our 2nd Half-Marathon down in Orlando, Florida at Disney. This is our third race at Disney we did our first half marathon back in 2006 and our first full marathon last year. Our second oldest sister had convinced us again to do another race so we decided to do the half marathon again this year of 2009. So, over this past few months we have been training for this race and now the final days are here. The marathon is this Saturday! We are very excited because all the hard work and dedication will soon pay off. Michelle and I are very competitive individuals and love to workout so marathons are great for us. I wish everyone would take the challenge of doing a half or full marathon once in their lives. It is a great feeling when you cross that finish line with everyone cheering you on. You really feel like you can do anything (well, which everyone can -- if you put your mind to it). We plan to do a better job this year of documenting more of our fitness tips as well as health and food tips. You all know that we are gluten free raw vegans who have a strong passion to help spread the word of health and fitness through better eating habits and working out. I promise it is not as bad as it sounds. Working out can be fun! We will keep everyone posted these next few days and how the race day goes... stay tuned.

I'm so excited to hear about other vegan marathoners! I was a marathon coach in Chicago for over five years, and people couldn't fathom how I had the energy to get out of bed in the mornings, let alone run two to three marathons a year. I look forward to hearing about your next race adventure!
