Milky Oats
An overlooked ally in the plant world.
Almost everyone is familiar with milky oats - likely from their experiences with it as a breakfast staple - but this unassuming plant holds much more value than you can see in your morning bowl of porridge. And that’s what the month of May was all about!

How to prep for pregnancy (besides kegels!)
Google “preconception exercise”. I bet the main thing you’ll see is to make sure you’re doing kegels. And while that’s not inherently wrong, there's nuance to it. Many women have overactive pelvic floors, meaning that kegels may not be beneficial at all.
There are SO many other things you can do to prepare your body for pregnancy, which you can read about in the blog Six Exercises to Prepare for Pregnancy [that aren't kegels!]

The Evolution of Exercise
What is your relationship with exercise like? If you’re like me, you may have had a love/hate relationship with it over the years.
As a kid, it’s all about having fun! Playing sports, chasing your friends, doing cartwheels, etc. No agenda, no worrying, just pure enjoyment moving your body. Then as you get older you learn about how exercise is healthy and can make you lose weight, which seemingly everyone wants to do. Which makes you think that you should too. You start to realize there is SO much pressure on women especially to look a certain way, and yet that seems to be a moving target.
Be thin, but not too skinny. Be strong, but not too muscular. Be curvy, but not too much! It’s a never-ending cycle.
My relationship with movement has changed drastically over the years, and I thought I’d share because I know some of y’all will relate. You can head to the blog to read the full story!

3 Things to Care about More than Race Performance
As runners, we love striving for PRs, putting all of our eggs in one race basket.
The feeling of hitting a PR is unmatched - you’re on top of the world.
But when you don’t hit it, it can be devastating.
Here are some things to care about more than your race performance: enjoyment, longevity and how you feel.
I love when my athletes hit their race day goals, but I love it more when they enjoy the process before and after getting there.
One day, the PRs will stop coming. Will you still want to run then?
