What Being a Vegan Runner Means to Me
It takes only one word, really: this lifestyle, to me, is a practice.
I use the word in the way it's commonly employed in the context of meditation, yoga, philosophy, or even religion -- where "practice" means an activity done for its own sake, something that is not at first pleasurable (and in fact is often quite difficult) but that is unquestionably worthwhile for the foundation of character that it builds.
