I am a self-proclaimed health nut. I sport athletic wear daily, can recite over 100 health facts, and am an advocate for all things green. Yes, you could say fitness is my passion but I believe it is my lifestyle. I love to bike, hike, and kayak. However, my favorite way to get active is to run. Hitting the pavement is my go to for many reasons. I run to compete, for leisure, therapy and to reap the benefits of that post run endorphin boost. Oh and as far food goes, I never shy away from any particular food group or miss a meal. Food is my fuel. Not everything in life is a competition, but I do love to challenge myself daily. Whether that means choosing to hike seven flights of stairs over the elevator or running that last mile faster than I did the day before.

I live to be fit and show others how impactful taking proper care of ourselves really can be. If I’m not reading about the newest fitness and food trends then I am most likely in the gym or kitchen trying them out for myself. This journey that I’m on doesn't have a set destination or goal, it is simply a quest to be best version of myself. Being fit isn’t a trend, or a bandwagon that I just jumped on, it’s my identity. It has shaped me from the inside out.
