Extended today's commute into work from 5 to 23 miles, including 1600 feet of cumulative elevation gain, most of which was in the last 4 to 5 miles. Ankles are doing OK. I'm working on the Montgomery Burns theory that if I break enough of myself, all the damage will hold each other at bay, and I'll basically become immortal.

That's how that works, right?

EDIT: More seriously, I'm also testing the popular notion that vegans/vegetarians** are weak, sickly, and anemic. Granted, I'm just one data point, but I'm thinking the hypothesis is on shaky ground.

Incidently, could someone in the UK find out when Global Cycling Network is gonna have more copies of The Plant-based Cyclist (https://shop.globalcyclingnetwork.com/usd/en/gcn-the-plant-based-cyclist-book) in stock? Let them know there's an American with $17 and international shipping burning a hole in his pocket...

** By "vegan/vegetarian" I'm assuming someone who primary eats a variety of plants, nuts, grains, and seeds. It's assumed that a diet of primarily french fries, Twinkies, and Oreos is probably crap.

I was raised ovo-lacto vegetarian, switched to omnivory as a teenager, and then to switched to veganism a couple of years ago. My blood tests always look great, I have lost about 50 pounds, gained muscle, lost my GERD, and increased my stamina. Anecdotal for sure, but I feel so much more healthy than I did five years ago!
