Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

I am so excited (and a little nervous) to start this blog. I’ve been reading various blogs for a while, which has motivated me to start my own.

My name is Michelle, I am 27 years old, and live in Anchorage, Alaska with my husband, Craig. I teach physical education in the Anchorage School District, but now that it is summer, I finally have a chance to start this blog! Check out my “About” section for more about me!

I wanted to start a blog for a few reasons:

1.) My entire family lives in Minnesota or Wisconsin, and since I am not able to visit them much–seeing that they live 3500 miles away–I thought this would be a great way of keeping them up-to-date about what’s going on in my life.

2.) I have a strong passion for running and nutrition (hence the title) and want to share my exeperiences and knowledge with others. I often find myself sharing things with family and friends and now this is my way to share with a bigger audience.

3.) I am not very good about taking pictures on trips, outings, or in general, so I am hoping this will force me to take more pictures and my blog will then be a journal I can access in the future.

I hope you enjoy my blog and will continue reading as I give you a glimps into my life!

Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.
