Hello friends,
Well it is one week till our marathon at Disney! The final countdown is on!
The nerves are kicking in for us both. But we are also excited! 
If you plan to be in the Orlando area this weekend let us know and we will try to meet up! Email us at twins at pure2raw.com
We plan on documenting everything we eat over this week before hand to show you all how high raw foodist eat before a marathon.
We also wanted to share with you all a new book that we are currently reading called “The Patient Heal Thyself” by Jordan S. Rubin. This book was given to Michelle and I from Kim our colon therapist. It is amazing how you meet certain people in our life that really help you and Kim is one of those people. Thanks Kim there are no words to describe how grateful we are that we met you!
Isn’t amazing how certain people come into and out of your lives and you always wonder why you met them? That it takes you awhile to finally realize what that ‘life lesson’ or guidance that person may have taught you? Has that ever happened to you?
We have some big news to announce about this upcoming marathon. As many of you know we typically run marathons with our older sisters. Well since the oldest is pregnant she is no longer available to do this and with Jen, our second oldest sister, has been having some very serious health issues. Therefore, she is not going to be able to run in the marathon this year. Looks like it is going to be the twins alone this time 
Going along with our sister having health issues is becoming a very serious concern for Michelle and I both because our sister does not know what is really wrong with her. And after talking with Kim she mentioned this book because she felt that this guy’s story is very similar to what our sister is going through! We are very excited to read it and hopefully get some insight to help our sister! Sorry we can’t go into further detail of our sister’s health issues but once we figure it all out we hope to share more of her story with you all.
Ok back to our marathon preparation.
Our diet is pretty much going to be the same as we typically have been eating. We aim to show you everything that us, raw foodies, eat or drink in order to prepare our bodies for our marathon.
Today we started our day with yet another delicious green smoothie
It made a little bit extra so we had to put some in a smaller glass! This smoothie was filled with apples, swiss chard, cinnamon, cardamom, sea salt, coconut oil, msm powder, and turmeric.
Than our workout for today was our last 6 mile run before the race. Our pre-work out snack was a new creation we made.
We were quite pleased with the final results. Just a few more minor tweaking to the recipe and we will have a great pre-workout snack! YAY! One that is loaded with important nutrients essential for getting great workout results.
Perfect before our run! Gave us both the energy we needed. We both actually felt great during our run which is a first. Because typically always one of us has something hurting like our stomach or back! But not this time. We both actually enjoyed our run! What a great way to feel before our marathon.
We will check back in the morning. Have a great night.
Till next time,
The twins
L&M

I’m so sorry to hear that your sister isn’t feeling well. Thoughts and prayers going out to you all.
Can’t wait to hear about your marathon adventures. You GO Girls! Have a wonderful time.
Thanks Julie!!!! We need all the prayers : ) for our sister and our marathon!
i just made raw (well almost) balls. and posted them. with all kinds of ball jokes LOL
yours look great!
Your green smoothies always look so amazing.. I finally just got a high speed blender and have been working on including them in my diet.. You guys inspire me to eat more greens daily! Looking forward to the rest of these marathon posts!
Crystal, so glad to hear it! Yay for green smoothies!!!!!
Good luck with the rest of your training!! So exciting!!!!!
Good luck at Disney. My whole family will be down there, too, but not until May/June. We’re vacationing there this year. It should be fun.
Can’t wait to see your recipe for your snack. I am eating more like the Thrive diet again, as it is the new year. I like Brendan’s ideas in his book, mixed with some of Natalia Rose’s recipes/meal plans and some of my own. It’s what works for me.
With so many other bloggers posting about lasagna recipes, I started craving some myself. Working with what I had in the house, I constructed one out of my usual salad ingredients. I took a pic with my new camera and plan to post it soon. I meant to today, but opted instead to blog about Hayden’s new trick.
you two are going to do wonderfully!! and i hope your sister gets well soon!!
can’t wait to see your eats!
I’m sorry to hear about your sister!
I haven’t read “Patient Heal Thyself,” but I’ve read another Jordan Rubin book, “The Maker’s Diet.” He included his story in that one as well and it was so sad to read… but with a wonderful and happy ending! 
Our bodies are capable of amazing things.
Good luck with the rest of your marathon training! Sounds like you two are ready! Especially with all the great raw food you’re feeding your body.
I’m sorry to hear about your sister, but hopefully you two amazing raw girls can help her!
Thanks Lori, yes we hope we can help out our sister. We will keep up heads up!
