Chicago Marathon - Raw Food Chat

kmik · 08-03-2006

Hi!

I've organized a team of vegan raw foodists that are running the Chicago Marathon as a means to help introduce the general public to the raw food lifestyle, and we're looking for more folks to join in!

We're looking specifically for:
#1 - folks already signed up for the Chicago Marathon that would like to join the team (free t-shirts, our own hospitality tent with private porta-potty, pre-race dinner, post-race party, and much more, in exchange for minimal fund-raising)
#2 - support folks to help along the course
#3 - kind people to help us bring this all together by way of a donation

Please visit http://www.runraw.org for more information... and if you care to donate, please use "RFC" as your source code.

Thanks!

weeeeellll, um, if I could do a sub 5, I'll be very happy. I just started running, after a couple years off, due to morbid obesity (no joke) last September. Lost over 80 pounds since July 2005 (by going raw, of course!). I just PR'd in a 5K last week, with an average minutes per mile time of 9:19... which is MAJOR for me, as I never thought I could possibly get under 10's but I know for 26.2 miles, if I can average close to 11 per mile, I'll be satisfied (THIS year). I've got a half marathon coming up next week... we'll see how I do for that. Next year though, will be a whole 'nother story (still not seeing sub 3's, but I'm sure it'll be WELL under 5!)
