However, I can get a vacation from the daily grind of grub-making with my “Mediterranean Meal Prep Madness with Beef”!  Inspired by the flavors and healthy eating habits of Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Turkey and more, I’m sharing how a little extra work on the front end can help you make a variety of different meals that can last throughout the week.

I was thinking about all the things that running has taught me over the years, and I tried to capture the most important in this post. I wasn’t a child prodigy runner, nor was I on the school XC team. But, I HAVE been running for 30 YEARS and it has blessed me with so many amazing experiences. What Running 30 Years Has Taught Me - Jennifer Fisher, thefitfork.com

These experiences have included running marathons all over the country and even representing Houston in the Athens Marathon; pushing myself and meeting new friends on overnight 200 mile relay races; missing an Olympic marathon qualifying time by seconds, but getting to run with the Torch in the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay; setting event course-records at the mile distance and the half-marathon distance while being in my 40s; and most recently, winning the RCAA 10 mile Texas State Championship in the “Super Master” division last year . .  probably my favorite distance of all time. Oh, yeah, and running has given me the confidence and “I can do anything” mindset that allowed me to take up Spartan racing at an elite/competitive level at age 48 through today! But, this laundry list is just a bunch of achievements, running has brought and taught me so much more, read on to find out:   Continue reading →

This post is sponsored by Total Gym. I received product and compensation in exchange for my time and editorial consideration. However, all opinions remain my own.

The training I do to stay competitive in obstacle course racing often commandeers a significant amount of time in my already-packed week. Hours are spent improving endurance by running long distances, building speed on the track, Olympic lifting at the gym to gain strength to do things like flip tires and carry heavy things, and plenty of skill work including throwing spears, balancing, and jumping. Jennifer of thefitfork.com test out Total Gym (and loves it for light workout days and active recovery).

Whew. As a working mom, I literally sometimes can’t get it all done. So, when I’m really pressed for time, I try to squeeze in a short morning run and then jump on my Total Gym® later in the day for a quick, light workout to tide me over. Continue reading →
