We are lucky to have fresh air to breath, fresh food to eat and access to clean drinking water. It’s easy to get caught up in our daily struggles, life stressors and challenges, and to assume that someone else will handle the issues in the world. But as members of society, we can all make a difference and any amount of change and action, no matter how big or small, will have a positive impact on the world. Our Earth is amazing and we must not take it for granted. In honor of Earth Day, here are a few tips to implement into your life as you do your part to take care of Mother Earth. You don't have to do them all (or do any of them all the time), but by doing your best every day, you are doing your part. Go digital! Save paper and send an email.

Restriction, purging, bingeing, obsession, rigidity or "clean eating" only provide

As a life-long athlete, I crave competition. I love showing up to a race with the desire to give my best and leave it all out on the race course. But with the temporary removal of "race day" competitions for the uknown future, I continue to seek opportunities to release my competitive spirit. Some workouts are intense. I find myself smiling (or perhaps it's a cringe) through the pain of a challenging workout that leaves me drenched in sweat and completely drained and empty. These workouts are so hard and the suffering is so intense that it actually cleanses my soul. It's a sick type of pleasure that feeds my inner athlete. Having said that, the passion I feel for the sport of triathlon and being part of this incredible triathlon community provides a sense of belonging, purpose, opportunity for growth and pursuit of victory - all without an actual race day start and finish line. Fortunantly, within every workout, I can still give myself a proverbial start and fi
