Recovering very nicely. It's amazing what a vegan diet can do for an athlete, especially an endurance athlete. Even as a vegetarian (I included dairy, eggs and on occasion, fish, in my diet) I never expereinced the rapid recovery that I do now. I can talk about this until I am blue in the face and it will still be doubted until an athlete (or non athlete) commits to the practice (and it is a practice for quite some time) and expereinces it for themselves. Three days after a 55 mile ultra and I am doing speedwork. That's proof enough for me.
