Lake County Run 4/14
I was really bummed out this week because I started to see some swelling in my right knee. The good news is that after the rest and taking care of myself I was able to go out and set a new personal best for quickest mile and longest run.

Portabella Mushroom Pizza
With the recent diagnosis of Diabetes I have been trying to stay away from carbs, but I have been really craving pizza. This recipe curbed that craving.

Lake County Run 4/4/23
I feel like this was a really important run for me. It was the first time I was able to continuously run through the workout and the extra 5-minute run period that was optional.

My Weight Loss Journey
Ever since my diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes I have been looking at ways to live with it. One of the biggest tips that kept popping up in my research was the impact of weight loss on insulin resistance.

Lake County Run 4/2/23
This mornings run was really good. I’m finally starting to be able to head out without any of the lower back pain. I also tend to feel a little bit of pain in my right knee from a high school tear in my ACL, MCL and Meniscus. The weird thing was after my warmup and starting to run the pain seemed to disappear. Hoping that running will help improve strength in a few areas.

Paddling Kings Landing
Kings Landing is one of my favorite places to paddle board. The springs that are located in Kelly Rock flow through Kelly Rock Park down through a roughly 2-mile stretch of crystal-clear river known as the Emerald Cut.

Lake Louisa Hike
Lake Louisa is a beautiful state park that is only a few miles from our house. There are a lot of activities and things to do at the park like hiking trails, horseback riding, kayaking, and camping.

Lake County Run 3/30
Another personal best set with a strait 15 minute run. It may not be a lot to people who actually run or have been active, but it’s the first time in a long time I’ve ran over a mile strait.

Weeknight Quick Salsa
A staple in my fridge is a quick salsa. Canned salsas have their place, but they often have extra sugar and preservatives to make them more shelf stable. This salsa only lasts around a week in the fridge, but it normally never lasts that long in our house. I put this literally on anything that I want a burst of flavor. Eggs, salads bowls, and any time I make something with a Mexican flavor profile.
