Hi. My name is Jennifer. I am 32 years old. Mother of one. Graduate student. Vegan. Not looking to lose a ton of weight, just trying to stay in shape and shed a few pounds I gained over the winter. I am looking for some people to exchange healthy vegan/vegetarian recipes with, and maybe pick up some exercise tips.

    I just upped my running from 5 miles a day to 6. Hope I can do a half marathon someday!

    What's stopping you? I'm only run/walking for three miles atm, and the running part is only for a minute and a half right now. I'm aiming to run the half on October 23rd. Worst case scenario is, I run/walk it, but even then, I should be fast enough to officially finish.

    You did mention running every day, though...are you allowing enough time for recovery?
  • I'm vegetarian with many vegan tendencies. Also a runner! Feel free to add me if you'd like! :)

    I usually do 3-4 days on, one day off. So I have either one or two days off per week. I've been trying to find something else to do a few days a week to give my bad knee and foot a break.
