Burning Off the Bacon

How do I eat bacon bourbon chocolate bark and still fit in my pants? Well, I don’t eat bacon desserts all that often. But I can down a heft portion. Contrary to poplar belief, it has very little to do with luck. I move. A lot.

I wasn’t always active. In fact I was always picked last for every sport. In middle school, the presidential fitness test was my least favorite day of my year because I could never complete the required laps during the 12 minute run/walk. And in track, they put me on shot put because I was too slow to race and too short and stout to jump the hurdles. It wasn’t until my Junior year of college that I finally realized that I could teach myself to love exercise but I would never teach myself to love giving up bread, cheese and chocolate. I soon discovered that running is my Xanax; exercise keeps me sane in times of stress.

In this section you’ll find my race training and other fitness goals.
