Last year I wrote about our friend Carlos changing to a mainly whole food plant based diet, his resultant weight loss and feeling good. He has graciously allowed me to publish his recent email to us.

Hi Debbie and Jack :
25 years ago I used to be a runner, I was young and handsome, not anymore. SInce  I changed my eating habits, I almost have lost 40 pounds,so I encouraged myself to go back to running.My younger sister Alicia has been running for the last 6 years and this year I started  running with her. Last month I signed up for the Rock and roll half Marathon, since I’ve been feeling great I decided to give it a try.Last sunday was the big run ! , It was great, lots of fun, wasn’t easy but wasn’t that hard either.I felt young and alive . Actually I did a better time than my sister. I hope to do it again next year.
I just wanted to share my joy with you. Here are a couple of pictures.
Aloha.  Carlos
