2015 Year in Review

The people I work with are incredible. My… Continue reading 2015 Year in Review

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.

I had… Continue reading Race Recap: The Crim 10 Mile 2015

Happy Independence Day everyone! Today I participated in a "Fun Run" put on by the association where my parents live.

Race Recap: Cedar Point Millennium Force 5k

Megan Hammis, M.Ed., RDN

I remember being at Cedar Point one year, when I realized that walking around the park was almost a 3 mile journey, thinking "It would be so cool to run a 5k at Cedar Point!" The next year, the Chris Smith Memorial 5k was started... a 5k race through Cedar Point. Since then, I have… Continue reading Race Recap: Cedar Point Millennium Force 5k
