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.

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...

I'm married to my best friend and the most beautiful woman in the world... but...

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
