Fitness & Nutrition

I’m a wannabe athlete. I love to workout and get a good sweat in everyday, it just makes me feel good. Sometimes I get a little competitive and participate in races. This page will include links to races I’m training for or have already completed, along with any training programs or articles that I think might be interesting to anyone who enjoys staying fit. I will also include nutrition information and tips that help my body feel good.
