Fueling Greatness for the Chicago Marathon – #FuelGreatness
For anyone who has been following my story for the past few years on Twitter and Instagram, you’ll know that I’ve been seriously bitten by the running bug. Every weekend I’m out on the trails and going for a long run. In 2016, I completed my first three marathons and in June 2017, I completed […]
Can Beef Be Part of a Diet for Weight Loss and Heart Health?
I frequently receive questions about how (of if) beef can be part of a healthy diet. Often times, beef is acquainted with cuts of yesteryear which carried more saturated fat. Thanks to advances in meat cutting to trim excess fat, cattle breeding and feeding, we see more lean beef today than we have in previous […]

Cheers to a second marathon in the books, recovery and the start of training for my next running adventures! I completed the Missoula Marathon on July 11 under my goal of 4 hours.

Spring on the Trails – Final #TeamBeef Marathon Training
As I began sharing in my previous post, it has been an active and fun Spring competing in races. Now, I’m in the final month of training prior to my first marathon (June 11). The weight of covering 26.2 miles in under four hours is beginning to weigh on me. But I’ve been aiming for […]
Spring on the Trails – #TeamBeef Warm Up Races
It’s been a busy Spring putting in the miles, both on the trails and pavement. I’m right at a month from my first marathon and so far so good. The events surround a race day (of any distance) and camaraderie at the start/finish line are a great opportunity to meet new folks and often start […]
Join me in the 30 Day Protein Challenge
No one eats a perfect diet. No food is perfect. However, food is fuel and we could all pay a little closer attention to what (and how much) we eat. This is especially true as I train and prepare for a busy 2016 race schedule that concludes as part of Team Beef at the Marine […]
