Maintaining Habits
It has been a productive winter here at D1 and many of you have established some new, lifelong exercise and nutrition habits to be proud of. It takes a lot of focus to create these habits, whether it be getting to workouts at 5am, packing healthier lunches, eating breakfast, or eliminating sugary drinks, it takes … Continue reading Maintaining Habits
Fill Your Cup
We made it past February! I often think February is the hardest month to push through living in the Midwest. It’s cold, snowy, windy, we are trapped inside most of the time, and the hoopla of the holidays has subsided. March can definitely bring the same feelings, but there are always a few sunny days … Continue reading Fill Your Cup
What I’m Reading: Lean In
This is a must read for everyone in the workplace, not just women. Of course, it is great for women to get inspired and motivated to stand their ground in the workplace, but it is important for men to see the mindset of a working woman. As a 'young professional', I found this very educational … Continue reading What I’m Reading: Lean In

Focus on family, focus on teaching, and focus on pursuing my goal of attaining an opportunity that was staring me … Continue reading Disappointed…yet Oddly Optimistic
Yoga for Track
Where there's a will, there's away! Half of the team is here in Vermillion, 1/4 is heading to Tulsa, and 1/4 is on a plane to Arizona, but they all needed some functional movement and yoga today to recovery and shake off the bus/plane ride. So we took a video of today's session! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/hl-XSKIPDt0
Track Meet Snacks
I love track season and indoor is fast and furious, but very fun. Track meets are always exciting and busy, but they can definitely be long. Packing snacks is crucial for success on the track (and is equally important for the coaches - no one wants a 'hangry' coach). The perfect snacks to pack have … Continue reading Track Meet Snacks
