I have a really good coach. Like the best coach. Who took me on about a year ago when I was struggling and who has taught me more than I could have ever imagined. I call him the Wizard because my teammate Michelle called him that…… and I stole it from her because it fits. He’s [...]

This will be part I of a few series posts in which we will begin to address Ironman nutrition. So stay tuned, the rest of this info will trickle on in the next few weeks. Many athletes discount the role of nutrition as it relates to their performance. After all, in the case of Sally [...]

With that being said I have been asked many many questions about athletics and pregnancy….. so here’s a post for you momma’s to be! I had an incredible OB/GYN. She never put one single limit on [...]

It comes with the glamour of being a Pediatric Emergency Nurse…. or any nurse for that matter. The night shift. I work one per week because I am gone and home before anyone ever knows it. Honestly what a night shift comes down to is nutrition. Within the profession of nursing in general there is [...]

I will be honest, I love big training weeks. And I love big training week blocks. It takes a lot of attention to recovery to put the volume in, but as long as you do that, and stay within the zones, then it comes together. It’s not like you go out and balls to the [...]
