Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

For this "What I Ate Wednesday" I thought I would take a little trip down memory lane and reminisce on all of the wonderful food that I had while on my road trip this fall. On Monday night I posted a picture of my friend and I from our trip, saying how I really want… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday: Road Trip 2015 Edition

You Know You’re a Runner When…

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

As I was scrolling through Facebook this afternoon, I saw a friend post that she was doing Couch-2-5k. This overwhelming excitement built up inside of me... and inspired me to write this post. You Know You're a Runner When... (or at least this is how I knew I was a runner) You get overly excited… Continue reading You Know You’re a Runner When…

2015 Year in Review

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

2015 was an incredible year for me. I finally felt like I had made the right choice in my career, thanks to my new job. The only time I don't feel like going to work is when I know my schedule is light. I love my busy days. The people I work with are incredible. My… Continue reading 2015 Year in Review

Goals for 2016

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

It is that time of year again! The New Year, and with it comes the resolutions. Something that I teach my patients about as a dietitian is setting SMART goals. So what is a SMART goal? Here's what I learned from an aritcle put out by MSU Extension: SPECIFIC. A SMART goal focuses on answering… Continue reading Goals for 2016

Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

Well guys, I reached my goal! I ran a race every month during 2015.

My December race was the Bay Area Runners Club (BARC) Christmas 5k. This… Continue reading Race Recap: BARC Christmas 5k

Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

My last training run before the Crim was a tough 8.4 mile route up at my parents' place. When I got home from the run, I said to my parents, "I really hope adrenaline kicks in during the race because that was really rough." For the rest of the day I felt crappy. I had… Continue reading Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015

I'm running the Crim in less than 2 weeks. To say that I am nervous would be an understatement. This will be the longest race I have ever run... by a whole lot. I haven't even run an official 10k in more than a year... and in less than 2 weeks I will be running… Continue reading Banking the Miles: July/August Update

My parents bought our "cottage" (it is more like a second home) when I was in middle school, and I've had many summer memories here. I lived here while I was going to school at… Continue reading Race Recap: Canadian Lakes 5k Fun Run
