Aww, thanks so much Denise! When I have a goal to work on I'm definitely pretty motivated to hit it! That's why I like picking a few key races every year. Keeps me honest with pushing myself to work harder. :)

The meal prep is second nature now, but so key in making sure I recover well from my athletic endeavors. I am very lucky that I generally have enough time to devote to cooking, even if it is just simple meals. I get a little antsy if I don't have at least a few things ready to go in the refrigerator at all times, haha! Though with the abundance at the farmers market right now that's generally not a problem. ;)
