On the subject of endurance, TNT Coach Kiley has commenced training for a 50-mile run. The Leona Divide 50 winds through the Angeles National Forest near Lake Hughes. Not content preparing for a double-marathon, he has also committed to raise 5K for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Having lost his dad to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Kiley takes his training and the mission of LLS quite seriously. (Without getting all stuffy and arch about it.)
Follow along with Kiley as he blogs his journey toward an April 18th date with discomfort.
Also, stop by his fundraising site and help out with whatever you can.
Vegetarian hog dogs. I watched someone eat one today. Would a carnivore dine on meat-wheat? I'll leave that as an open question.

meat-wheat? I don't know. I have heard of a lion named "Little Tyke" who ate fruits and refused meat or blood of any kind.
I was a vegetarian.. like twice in my life. It's not that hard for me to make the switch except that I'm a terrible and lazy cook, so I shouldn't be trusted with anyone's nutrition. They out live everyone, so don't knock it! Besides, who doesn't love the word, Tofurky??
Andy Kaufman was an extremely healthy vegetarian until he perished from lung cancer.
Among long-distance runners, I've seen equally good performances notched by both parties to the meat/no meat question.
As such, there's room for Tofurky and, the fast-growing favorite, hamapples.
hamapples are not popular with the non vegitarian jewish long-distance running community I'm asuming.
There have been sullen grumblings.
I've oft wondered the same vegetarian question myself... if you're opposed to the concept behind a burger then why eat a concoction made to resemble a burger? If fur is murder, why wear a faux fur coat? Isn't it the same concept?
There is a meat-is-murder-veggie camp.
And a health-based camp.
Sometimes they blend together, but as a non-veggie I only pay attention when they me wearing a fur coat. In my case, it's gorilla fur and it keeps you warm and smelling faintly of bananas.
Not all vegitarians are worried about hurting animals. Some of us just want to be healthier.
The majority of veggies I encounter seem to fall in the health camp.
In the pic - What's that in your hand? Is that a cup of coffee?
That's not me.
That's the aforementioned Kiley.
Water, would be my guess.
