At my mother-in-law’s condo, I found a pic of me from 2005. (Actually Marie had seen it on a previous trip to the beach. She said she didn’t recognize me.) Here it is. I don’t recognize me. How did I get that big? How could I not see THAT?
So below is a pic of me from this year’s beach trip. Much better, if I do say so myself.
By popular demand, and hearing how it has helped some people pack for WDW races, I’m reposting a video I took in early 2009 just before the 2009 Disney World Marathon. Since you really have no clue what the weather will be at that time of year, you have to be prepared.
Gordon takes a bike ride–again–and talks about his body image, the importance of training the mind to let the body excel, and he babbles a LOT!
I’m thrilled to announce that I am co-host of a new podcast (no worries, Running to Disney is still in production), called “Country Vegan, City Vegan.” My co-host is also my dear friend and running coach, Megan, the Veganrunningmom (@veganrunningmom on twitter) and host of her own show, Run Vegan Run.
The show came about after we both received an email from a fellow runner/cyclist about changes she had decided to make in her nutrition lifestyle based on my recent transformation and Megan’s wonderful, open and nonjudgemental style. In my transition to Veganism, Megan has been a guru of sorts, answering all sorts of questions and serving as a mentor as I adopt a new lifestyle. We decided that it would be a lot of fun to produce a monthly show where we get together and compare notes on what it is like to be a Vegan in my small southern town, and in her big city. Thus the title: Country Vegan, City Vegan.
The show will be in iTunes soon, but can be found directly on the Podbean site at this link:

Gordon finishes his racing season and heads into the summer months with a new PR in the 10K. He discusses where he is with running and what he wants to do next. Men in red jumpsuits attack his car. He buys some VFFs and goes to Whole Foods Cool voice mails

In the midst of my 10k as I battled the inner demons that wanted me to ease up, I realized that I’m proud to run. To test myself and to grow.
Running allows me to see what kind of person I am inside. Will I compromise? Will I take the easy path? Or will I fight, struggle, and grow?
I’m proud to say that this year, more often than not, I have fought and I have grown. I’m proud of that more than anything.
