Running Raw

Tim Van Orden, a marathon runner and athlete who maintains a raw, vegan diet has been in Chicago for the past few days, starting with a run up the stairs of the Sears Tower on the 9th. He's been speaking about the benefits of a raw diet and his Running Raw Project, and sharing ideas for Thanksgiving with Chicago's raw-food community. Tomorrow night is Van Orden's last appearance in town. He'll be at Karyn's Fresh Corner at 7.pm. (1901 North Halsted St., 312-255-1590). If he inspires you to become an elite athlete with a raw diet, and you happen to have enough money for the plane fare, you can start training for the next Raw Olympics.

Although I probably won't become a marathon runner or extreme athlete, since his visit, I've fine tuned my diet and have never felt better!
