I get a lot of shit from family members and even friends for being vegan. And if I'm honest, I'm sick of hearing it. They all tell me that vegans are weak and we're made to eat animals, and I'm not very healthy. I've been vegan and an animal rights advocate for more than 30 years. I really need to stop shrugging off the comments and tell them exactly how I feel about what they say about me.
Well, anyway, today, I started training for my 7th marathon with a 14.3 mile run in high heat and humidity. Not sure how I accomplish anything like this since we vegans are weak and unhealthy. At nearly 59 years old, I'm close to being in the best shape that I have ever been in.
