Discovering the Power of Nutrition in My Life
Nutrition powers more than just workouts. It fuels our focus at work, supports our mental health, and helps us show up for the people and activities that matter most. In honor of National Nutrition Month®, I’m reflecting on how nutrition powers my everyday life — from my morning routine to my work as a dietitian to my runs and beyond.

My Ideas, Goals and Dreams for 2019
Every year I set goals for myself... and although I find that putting it in writing makes a goal real, sometimes I'm too hard on myself when I don't hit them. So instead I'm going to write down ideas... some may really be goals, maybe they're just wishes and dreams... for what may come in… Continue reading My Ideas, Goals and Dreams for 2019
Two Weeks til Marathon #3!
Last week I was nothing but nerves because after running my 20 miler, the top of my foot was so painful I could hardly walk. I did all kinds of RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation. On Wednesday I went with my friend Christine to a free injury clinic at a local running store. The PT… Continue reading Two Weeks til Marathon #3!
Race Recap: Detroit International Marathon 2016
I woke up before my alarm on marathon morning. It was 3:53am and I decided I might as well get out of bed and start getting ready. I quietly grabbed the pile of clothes and gear I had set out the night before and got dressed. I brushed my teeth, put my hair in a… Continue reading Race Recap: Detroit International Marathon 2016
Ramblings of a Long Run
Today I went out for my last long run before my first marathon - 8 miles on a beautiful day all by myself. About halfway through my run, I had this thought: "I should blog about all of the things that go through my mind during a solo long run!" After all, 8 miles is… Continue reading Ramblings of a Long Run

Race Recap: 2016 Bee Healthy for Life 10k
Every year in June, the hospital that I work for puts on a 5k/10k race.

Race Recap: 5/3rd River Bank Run 5k
One of my closest friends is also a runner and a dietitian like I am. She recently moved to the west side of the state, going from 20 minutes away from me to 2 hours away.

Transformation Tuesday
If you had asked me 8 years ago when I started running if I would ever run a half marathon, I probably would have laughed in your face. At that time, I could barely run a mile. I wasn't even sure about running the 5k that I had signed up for in the fall. That… Continue reading Transformation Tuesday
