Training For The Nike Women's Half Marathon as a Flexitarian Runner With Whole Foods

Everybody knows that two of my greatest passions are running and Whole Foods Market. You can find me often at Whole Foods in Potrero Hill or at Whole Foods in Oakland.

Today, I am very excited to share that I am getting to combine the two and I am officially registered to run the 2013 Nike Women's Marathon in October, my first half marathon. AND, I am being sponsored by Whole Foods Market.

I am the Flexitarian Runner!
