I'm Alright With a Slow Burn 🔥

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Now that it’s finally warm enough to sit on the patio, Nick and I (ok fine mostly Nick) got our new bird feeder and hummingbird feeder all set up. We have a few hummingbird regulars already, but no takers on the bird feeder yet so if anyone has any tips on how to lure birds let me know! 😅

• What’s for dinner? I’ve planned out your week in meals and snacks so you don’t have to! Check out my menu plan for the week, and some simple recipes to go with it.

• Weekly accountability challenge: balance your plates using the performance plate model. Not sure what that means? Find out below!

• Science corner: This one comes from a reader who responded to the last email! They wanted to know if baking soda, aka sodium bicarbonate, actually improves performance so I’m breaking that down in today’s newsletter.

• Food for thought: This weekend some crazy fast times were run by some high schoolers. While impressive, I share my thoughts on how sometimes less can be more for young runners.
