Trouble is, if we are what we eat -- I am pretty much half Mexican & half Italian! lol I started running mostly because I love food! Around age 25 I started running, trying to burn off an expanding beer belly. It worked. I soon discovered I could eat anything I wanted without gaining any weight, so long as I ran. So ... 30 years, three 26 mile marathons, a couple half-marathons, countless 10k runs, and several biathlons later I'm still running. But it is really my love of food that keeps me running!
