Athletes and Hyperthyroidism

Athletes and Hyperthyroidism

Ok, this is a post I have been meaning to write for a long time. And since I am currently on vacation, I have all the time in the world to hammer it out. (I wrote these words before I was struck down with a nasty flu, but more on that later…) I had mentioned in… Read More…

Carbs and the Endurance Athlete

Carbs and the Endurance Athlete

It is funny to me that something as innocent as carbohydrates have gotten so much heat in the media in the past number of years. Really, when you think about it – fat was the target only a few short years ago and it will probably be protein in 2020. As an athlete, it is… Read More…

Running in the Winter

Well hello there! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I had more a of a low-key one as I spent a lot of time getting writing done and spending time with friends and family. Last week was my first training session with my new coach. It was a fabulous group of local athletes and… Read More…

Kombucha and Digestion

Oct11

Kombucha and Digestion

I remember the first time that I heard about kombucha. It seemed scary and a little bit weird. I tried growing it in my basement, which is also scary and felt a LOT weird, especially to my mother who left a wide berth when she walked around my fermentation jar.

Finding the Shoe That Fits

Let’s talk shoes. And for once, it is NOT running shoes. It was a question I have been struggling with for…well, ever. What shoes do you wear when you are not running?
