Matt Frazier writes a blog that I read regularly called The No Meat Athlete and his book, Run on Plants and Discover Your Fittest, Fastest, Happiest Self just came out a few weeks ago. On his book tour, he made a stop at the Lincoln Running Company and Willa and I made sure we could make it! Matt is an ultramarathon runner who just happens also to be vegan. He spoke about his training, what he eats, what he wears, goal setting, strength training...all kinds of good stuff! He was very informative. I haven't read the whole book yet, but I did just try out one of his recipes (for buffalo hummus) and it was so good. I don't know why I hadn't thought to put buffalo sauce in hummus before but it was genius. I am very excited to try the rest of the recipes. Aside from recipes, there are also training plans for various distances in the book. A great read for anyone who is thinking of getting into distance running or anyone looking to replace some meat with some healthier options in their diets. He doesn't get in your face at all about the ethics of a vegan diet, as some vegan writers do. He makes some good points, for sure, but he also acknowledges that even just a reduction in red meat consumption can make huge positive impacts on your health and your training. If you're curious, you should check it out! I'll loan my copy out after I try a few more recipes:)

#232 Matt Frazier stopped in Lincoln!
On my List of 1,001 Awesome Things To Do Before....list, #232 is to attend a book tour/signing by an author that I love. I did that! I intend to do it any time I get the chance, but I think this is the first. No, not true. I met Isa Moskowitz at a bake sale in Omaha and she signed my Vegan Cookies cookbook, but that was a few years back, way before I had The List. Plus, its on the list to meet her again (maybe when she gets her vegan restaurant open?!?)
