		<title>It&#8217;s still summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The race I did on Sunday was OK: I finished, and I didn&#8217;t come in last. I came in 457th out of 480. I walked the first two miles and ran the last (the miles were marked along the course). It was a flat course, and the scenery was beautiful, featuring one of my favorite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pre-race Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last weekend I said I could not run because of excrutiating pain (from falling on the stairs), but on Monday I tried it on the treadmill, and found the I could run without pain (other than the normal discomfort running causes me). I took a step all prepared to stop immediately, but I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baked sweets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know if my tastes have changed because I&#8217;ve gone vegan, but I generally have not been wanting sweets as much as I used to since making the switch to a vegan diet. I used to &#8220;need&#8221; something sweet at least once a day, but now I can go through an entire day or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Running &amp; Pizza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my goals this summer was to run a 5K: train for it and have a good race, beating my time of ~42 minutes (I&#8217;m slow, but that&#8217;s OK). I registered for one that&#8217;s being held next Sunday: August 29th. Training was going OK, but I had not been really trying that hard. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>My day in food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Started out with coffee. Instant today. There was left over brewed from yesterday (blech!) which Sweetie drank so instead of making a new pot I just went with instant. (Notice my Rabbit Bites mug &#8211; love those guys!) Breakfast was a whole grain bagel with Earth Balance. I had the day off from work so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Meals and a Question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Saturday, my mom and sister and I went Passports Restaurant in Gloucester for lunch. It&#8217;s a pretty restaurant with a very charming atmosphere, but I didn&#8217;t get a very vegan-friendly feeling from our server. I know waiting on tables is a hard job (I&#8217;ve done it) so I always try to be very polite, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I am happy I am good</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added this video to my favorites on YouTube and watch and listen to it to make myself feel better. Try it and see if it works for you. I am in Rockport for the weekend. There were all kinds of delays in the traffic due to accidents and construction. A trip that normally takes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hug a Fruit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Katie, the Chocolate-Covered Vegan is featuring &#8220;Hug a Fruit&#8221; month, and I decided to participate as a challenge. Although I eat some fruit (usually apples and bananas) regularly, fruit is not something that I generally want to &#8220;hug.&#8221; It&#8217;s something that I know is nutritious, and it&#8217;s convenient to carry so I do eat it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Local dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lately, Whole Foods is sporting and touting a lot of &#8220;local&#8221; produce. I&#8217;m not sure what the criteria for local is because I&#8217;ve seen stuff from Maine labeled local and the Maine border has got to be at least 200 miles from here. Still that&#8217;s a lot more local than New Zealand or Peru where [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holding it together</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been struggling with depression lately and felt really shitty earlier this week. Like, I was getting a little scared about how bad I felt, but I persevered and seem to be holding it together pretty well. I did feel like crying once at work today, but then I realized the work stuff I [...]]]></description>
