About Me

I am a high school English teacher who discovered climbing at the age of 27. I’m almost 40 now, and proper training, recovery, and nutrition is a nonnegotiable. Throughout my 30s I started snowboarding, surfing, kiteboarding, running, and lifting weights too. Outside teaching school, I dedicate time to these sports as well as training and educating myself about training, recovery, and nutrition. This blog is dedicated to sharing tips, resources, and inspiration to help all lifelong climbers continue to enjoy and perform in the sports they love.

I’ve been reading this awesome book about masters athletes. (Athletes over 35) It seems that older athletes tend to eat so much better than younger athletes because we realize the importance of nutrition. Eat more protein eat more carbs. I average 80ish grams pf protein a day and probably 100ish grams of carbs. #mastersathlete #trainingfuel #fuelyourbody

The cat is not actually a step in this recipe! Ramen has got the be the easiest healthiest thing out there. If easy and healthy had a baby, it would be ramen. Just careful on the sodium content of the miso and chicken broth! #fuelyourbody #recoveryfuel #trainingfuel

I’m 39. Been trying to get into the purple forever! Will I ever get out of the blue?! 🤨swipe to see the benefits of us “masters” athletes can reap from keeping a high VO2 max. That is why cardio is a bit of a must as we get old. #mastersathlete

No Regrets! 😝 that IS a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie in my protein shake. #postrunmeal #postworkoutmeal #girlscoutcookie #trainingforclimbing
