This week I wanted to cover something a little more serious and very important for athletes to know: Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolisms, commonly known as blood clots.

Let’s talk about one of my favorite topics… FOOD!!!! Oh boy oh boy do I love to eat. And with all the training involved in training for a tri, there’s so much opportunity to eat.
