Rhabdomyolysis, Too Much of a Good Thing

| Feb 26, 2016 | 0 comments
As I sit here typing this I’m listening to the pumping of my compression boots. Unfortunately it’s not the type of compression boots I’d like to be wearing (those after a hard endurance workout). I’m unfortunately in the hospital and because of my lack of movement, I’m wearing them. I was hesitant to write this,

Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

When the weather starts to turn cold, or when it’s already cold and you’d like something to warm up the body, soup is an awesome option. And one of my favorites is split pea soup. I’m not the biggest fan of pork, so I make my split pea soup without. There are many delicious versions

Back in April of this year, I took part in a CPSDA sport dietician’s conference. My role was with PowerBar, and educating the dieticians on our products, what’s new, how their athletes can use them, etc. While there I was able to listen to some of the presenters speak on various topics. The one of

Open Water Swimming Tips

Canandaigua Lake, one of the beautiful Finger Lakes near my parents house. As a swimmer and triathlete, having the Finger Lakes near you is magnificent. I was so spoiled growing up and not realizing that not everyone got to see this, or swim in places like this. We were/are lucky to live in a place

The Last Uphill Battle

| Jul 23, 2015 | 2 comments
I’m brimming with excitement, but excitement that’s right below the surface. I’m almost scared to believe it, but I do believe I’ve crossed the last mountain in my hamstring/sciatic nerve battle. And yes, it’s been a hard fought, tooth and nail type battle. I wish I could describe the physical and emotional battle this has

My 100th blog! I feel like this should be a philosophical blog about my journey to this point in the blogging world, however, today I give you a new (and exciting) recipe. In a way it is kind of fitting to have this as my 100th blog. The blog started off as a way to

Joule Fuel, The Newest in Meal Replacements for Athletes

| Jul 20, 2015 | 0 comments
Joule Fuel, it’s pretty cool. That’s what I wanted the title of this blog post to be. But…then I decided it was too corny. Really though, it’s a pretty cool idea and meal replacement product. A few weeks ago while working a Rev3 race (Rev3 Rush in Richmond) I met the owner of a new

The Anti-Inflammatory Super Power: Tart Cherry Juice

| Jul 18, 2015 | 4 comments
Tart cherry juice and tart cherry juice concentrate are pretty amazing. You look at the small little cherry and think “it’s a healthy fruit,” but it’s so much more. It’s an anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and even can help you sleep. Tart cherries are different from the normal cherries you find in the grocery. Those are

Risk and Regret

As we’re packing up our house, we’re finding things that we’ve long forgotten about. You know those things that you bring from one house to the next, only to find them again, 3 years later and think “oh yes, I remember that.” Well, that happened this morning, and what Brett found truly changed my life.

| Jul 1, 2015 | 2 comments
Ginger is a root/flowering plant that is indigenous to China. It is now widely produced and is used in tea, as a kitchen spice, as nausea relief, and for athletic health including anti inflammatory and muscle soreness relief.
