Half Marathon Fanatic

Thanks to one of my running buddies, I found out about half marathon maniacs of “half fanatics”. This is an online page that sets the “official” criteria to be called a half marathon fanatic. When I was reading through it I could not help it but laugh because I could see myself in most of the questions and requirements to be a fanatic. So a couple of friends and I are going to work towards getting the official half fanatic certificate, which means that we have to run 3 half marathon races in 90 days. The first one was BMO in May, the second one is going to be Scottia by the end of June, and the third one will be See Jane half in Seattle, on July 11th. That way we will run 3 races within 90 days which will make us the proud be holders of the “half fanatic” title! This will change my original goal of running 5 half marathons this year, to running 6. Way to go!
According to halffanatics.com, if you answer yes to some of these questions, you can easily be a half fanatic:
Do your thoughts switch to the next scheduled race immediately after finishing a Half Marathon?
Are you signed up for more than one race right now?
Do you start to feel down when you haven't run a race in a while?
Are your closets and dressers filled with race t-shirts?
When asked about your racing from none running people, do you find yourself talking with great passion to the point that the person that asked the question regrets ever asking?
Have you run a Half Marathon as a training run? Or just to pace a friend?
Do you plan all your vacations around races?

My animal lover note: it had been a while since I wanted to eat at The Loving Hut. I follow them in Facebook and lots of my vegan friends had told me amazing things about them. Once even some one said that if they were in death row and someone asked them where they would like to have their last meal, they would say without a doubt “at The Loving Hut.” So with very high expectations, my husband and I finally headed to down town Vancouver on Saturday afternoon. The Loving Hut is a food truck located in the south corner of pacific boulevard and Davie St. They open just Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30 to 4ish. They sell vegan burgers, sandwiches and tiramisu. We arrived around 2:30 and ordered our food: vegan fish burger with tartar sauce, onion rings and tiramisu. We had to wait around 10 minutes because they are always very busy (which is great!). We grabbed our paper bag with our goodies inside and headed to the Round House Community Centre to eat it in there. OMG!!!!!!! While we were eating, my husband and I couldn’t talk but made noises of pleasure. What an amazing meal! And the best of all, IT WAS VEGAN! Every time I eat something as good and delicious as that (which is every day basically), I don’t get why people keep making the choice of eating meat over eating healthy, compassionate food.
