My husband and I rode one once upon a time around the beautiful island of Rottnest, just off the coast of Perth, Western Australia. I believe he politely said he wouldn't ride tandem with me again-ha ha ha! … [Read more...]

Being a long distance runner myself, I've been a big fan of Australian ultra-marathon runner Vlad Ixel for a while as are many of my running friends.

Vlad has won so many races and loves to walk (or run!) his talk and show people how fit and active you can be on a healthy, vegan diet. I hope he really inspires you. How long have you been vegan?
