I almost forgot today is Earth Day! A while back I did a Green Challenge, as some of you may remember. I like looking back on these posts to get ideas on what I can do to help the environment–most of these things I still do on a regular basis so its really just like second nature to me. But if you need any ideas on how to celebrate Earth Day, take a look at some of these posts!

Fun Run with Girlnetic

The kickoff was the start to a series of fitness events in the capital region geared toward women who want to get into fitness and have fun. I wanted to take advantage of these free events and saw that last night they were hosting a five mile fun run at the Crossings. My sister wanted to go too so we both went over to meet up with the Girlnetic girls, Jeni and Amelia!

Sports Nutrition Lecture
Last night I had the chance to go see a sports nutritionist talk at Sage College in Albany. Chris saw it advertised online and thought it would be right up my alley…he was right! The lecture was called The Winning Plate: Eating to Optimize Performance for Athletes and Active People and Leslie Bonci was the speaker, a register sports dietitian specialist who is a nutrition consultant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, among other sports teams, and even Olympic athlete Usain Bolt! She even consults for the Pittsburgh Marathon and ran it 10 times herself…awesome! She talked about common nutrition problems that athletes face, such as wanting to gain muscle, or lose…
