New Journey & Updates

It has been awhile since I have taken the time to write a post because life is just keeping me super busy. But I have made a commitment to cooking more and enjoying the kitchen since I moved outside of Boston to a town called Weston. I have been enjoying my new job and the great community of people. But my passion for cooking has been put on the back burner often since I graduated from college in the May 2011. So much has changed in my life. I'm working at a boarding school, adopted a dog and really have been using the kitchen more often. The dog is Scooter and he has been a joy to have in our home. The new addition of Scooter has really encouraged me to start cooking more because it puts be in a special place which I have been missing for sometime. Today I made Coffee Chip Muffins out of Vegan Brunch and they turned out very well and I have to say cooking is my passion.

Well when it comes to cooking I have to say that running is something that I have been including more into my life because its something that I just cannot imagine not having in life. After running the Brooklyn Half Marathon back in May and moving to Boston in August I have missed my runs in Brooklyn. Thinking about Fort Greene and the Brooklyn Bridge has brought me to a standstill and have just started training again to do more running events. I will be doing the 60K NYRR event on November 17th in NY. I cannot wait to get out there and do my best because I love it.

It has been some time since I decided to become vegan I have realized how amazing I have felt as a runner since I have been training so hard on a vegan diet. My body has been doing such a great job of self repair and I have been eating more greens and pretty much have eliminated processed food from my diet. Since I'm training for this Ultra Marathon I have stopped drinking, no processed food,low sugar intake, no beverages unless water and all natural juices and more rest. I have felt amazing since I have made running apart of my daily schedule. Veganism has always been for me to live a greener life and never was to stop doing things I love because that was not a choice. Food is power and I believe that anyone can go vegan as long as you do it right. Because food is power it does heal us from many things that may be harming our bodies. I will be back soon with another post. Please feel free to email black.veganism@gmail.com Looking forward to hearing from, Donnie
