Eat and Run Review

I just finished ultra trail running legend Scott Jurek's book, "Eat & Run." The book gives some interesting insights into his childhood and evolution of his running career and his road to becoming a vegan. He even threw in a a vegan recipe each chapter. I think I could get behind the idea of being a vegetarian, but vegan seems to little over the top. Also, Jurek is some sort of vegan gourmet. I originally thought it would be fun to try a recipe or two, but they are way too complicated. Mostly I  enjoyed his accounts of some of his more epic races (especially the Copper Canyon race described in the book "Born to Run").

I must admit it has worked on some level as I have been hitting the trails a little harder than usual and am looking for nice trail run in the next couple of months, not to mention the fact that I haven't eaten a burger since I started the book...
