Marathons 3 & 4 in the books!🏃🏼‍♀️ Set a goal to run sub-2:45 in the marathon this year. I ran a 2:48 in October at Chicago and knew I had to give it one more shot before the year ended. Ran a 2:45:16 last weekend at CIM! Those 16 seconds will probably be responsible for my next marathon sign up😂 thanks to Brandon for running lots of miles with me this year🥰

Let’s chat about protein with a registered dietitian!💪🏻 In this post, I wanted to break down the basics and help you understand the importance of protein, animal & plant sources of protein, tips for how to consume protein, and a few snack ideas with protein.

Hi, Annie here! 👋🏼 As a registered dietitian, I wanted to start breaking down the basics of nutrition in easy to understand principles. All the information out there can get overwhelming, so I’m here to focus on facts and science. I hope this info helps you to nourish your body and improve your relationship with food!

First up, let’s chat about carbs! Carbs often get a bad rap, but are SO important in fueling your everyday life and workouts. Read more about carbs above and keep an eye out for more tips in the future!
