Each week well feature a No Meat Athlete-Miami member to help us all get better acquainted. This week, say hello to me - Alexander Ruiz! Why did you join this group? I joined this group because I wanted to meet like-minded individuals who share this same lifestyle and help build a community of plant-based athletes in Miami, raise awareness and help others in their journey. Where are you from? I was born in New England, raised in suburban Maryland, went to college in Boston and somehow ended up in Miami. My parents are Cuban. Are you training for anything? Funny I should ask. Just two weeks before my marathon I suffered a stress fracture in my foot that took me out. I was training for the Baton Rouge Beach Marathon. The run we did in Ft. Lauderdale yesterday was my very first run since my injury. What are your hobbies/interests? I love photography and recently purchased a film camera. I love to travel, read, write and play chess. I also like longboarding! What are your favorite restaurants? Thats like asking to choose your favorite child! All of the plant-based restaurants are great and unique, but recently I have really been digging Greewave Cafe - a raw vegan restaurant in Plantation.
