A Blog About Running & a “Dash" of real life by a Dietitian
When 2020 started, or as my sister would say "in the before times", my goal for this year was to see if I could run a marathon in 5 hours or less. It was a steep, but not unreasonable goal for me. My current best marathon was at the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon in November 2019… Continue reading Race Recap: Covid 25k
In 2018 and 2019, I participated in the Still I Run May Run Streak to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
