I thought I would be a kick butt biker since I'm a kick butt running but, alas...I am humbled every time I bike. <BR/><BR/>Anywho, the point I would like to add to the ether is: I am always surprised by the amount of anti raw comments I see on raw blogs. I mean, why even bother reading a raw blog if this lifestyle doesn't interest you??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835525038334305726.post-53983599090236123882009-02-19T20:42:00.000-08:002009-02-19T20:42:00.000-08:00That's cool.

I'll bike up there every few weeks and see the same guys over the years, as if their existence is only on that road. Year after year I see them, like ghosts in that one spot as time keeps moving. Of course, I am just a ghost to them also.<BR/>Races start in a couple of weeks.

I'm hardly in a position to be bragging about much. <BR/><BR/>I'm just continuously shocked at how much of a difference this diet makes in all aspects of my life. If I'm too enthusiastic about sharing it, my apologies. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>-AndrewRunning Rawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401291056990739640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835525038334305726.post-31360414819637417162009-02-17T21:57:00.000-08:002009-02-17T21:57:00.000-08:00It wasn't a race.

Hubris on the bike is certainly not a unique attribute to your diet either.

Most diets fail because the diets are inherently unhealthy. <BR/><BR/>I've written about cravings control here if you're interested: http://www.raw-food-health.net/CravingControl.html<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/>-AndrewRunning Rawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401291056990739640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835525038334305726.post-38033387207173096352009-02-17T09:43:00.000-08:002009-02-17T09:43:00.000-08:00There are lots of healthy diets that dont center a...There are lots of healthy diets that dont center around raw fruits and vegetables. The more restrictive a diet is, the less likely somone is going to make it a lifelong habit.<BR/>And for the record, I'm a 50+ year old woman who started running less than 10 years ago and ran a marathon last year. I've had a few aches and pains over the years, but I attribute the fact that I've been injury free to moderation in a well- varied diet and a realistic approach to exercise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
