I was clicking through the latest issue of Michigan Runner, an online publication that highlights local runners and races, when I came across this full-page picture of me! I'm the cover girl for the Photo Gallery. Pretty exciting! I'm not sure why I'm running at an angle, though. I'll chalk it up to another one of those weird Amanda things that I do.
You can access the online magazine with this link. There's also another photo on page 13, as well as an article about the race including some quotes from me, on page 23.
This is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMany of the most successful athletes worldwide are now vegan. While they may differ in that they have decided to go vegan to avoid animal cruelty, for their health, to reduce environmental impact, or other reasons, they have one large similarity. They have proved that excellence and veganism often go together.
ReplyDeleteMyths still persist that state that it is not possible to be vegan and be successful in sport. These myths do not have a foundation in science, and athletes build muscle, endurance and ability on plant sources and many go on to achieve great things. The performance of these athletes is proof that veganism can and does enable excellence
