Got kids? Why not give them the opportunity to learn how to become a triathlete?! I mentioned in an earlier post that I partner with New England Kids Triathlon, which strives to increase childhood fitness (and fun!) through the sport of triathlon. This year, their event takes place on July 20, 2014 at MIT in…

22 of my favorite running slogans, quotes, and t-shirt sayings
One of my Couch Potato to 5K groups recently asked me for suggestions for slogans or sayings to go on a running t-shirt. There were a few that I thought of off the top of my head, but when I started browsing for more I found a ton of awesome ideas. Here were some of…
Bondi Band Review & Giveaway
I’ve finally been able to get out and do some swimming this week, since we’ve got some warm weather up in the Northeast and the water isn’t unbearably cold anymore. Plus, I’ve got my first triathlon of the season on the 15th, so I figured it was about time to get some swimming in before…
Foxboro Against Diabetes 5K Race Review & Recap
Today I ran the Foxboro Against Diabetes 5K with my husband. Diabetes is a cause that’s near and dear to me, both professionally (as a dietitian) and personally.

Coast Guard Duathlon Race Review & Recap
Today was my first “-athlon” – either duathlon or triathlon – of the season, the Coast Guard Duathlon. I was supposed to have done Race of Rams earlier in May, but my hip was bothering me and I didn’t want to take a chance on injuring myself. I’m glad I waited, because I felt really…
New England Kids Triathlon
I wanted to take a few minutes today to share an event I’m really passionate about – the New England Kids Triathlon. While a lot of kids participate in organized sports, there are plenty of children that shy away from team sports for a variety of reasons – so I love the idea of getting…
Mansfield Boosters 5K Race Review & Recap
Today I ran the Mansfield Boosters 5K, a run that’s designed to raise money to support athletic programs in our town. I’ve been lucky enough to participate the last two years, because my dentist’s office (Dynamic Dental) sponsors the race and covers registration costs for all their patients! I think it’s a great way for…
