What a weekend for celebrating the gift of sport! Watched a lot of college tennis. Ran the OSU 4 Miler and held high our National Champion Buckeyes. And of course, celebrated Rory’s Masters win. Within each of these experiences, there are stories of resilience. Stories of never giving up, no matter the chatter. There are stories of performing with heart, of being in total awe of doing what is loved. Stories of great fight with everything to make dreams reality. Ahhhh this weekend was filled with it all!
SNACKS AND SIPS OF THE WEEK
COTTAGE CHEESE AND STRAWBERRIES
Super simple and protein packed. Love cottage cheese with strawberries as a quick snack. I am lactose intolerant and have missed cottage cheese so much! Have searched for a non dairy option, that actually tastes like the real thing. Finally found it! Surprisingly, it is not a fancy brand. It is simple and pretty accessible at GIANT EAGLE where we shop-LACTAID Cottage Cheese!
ICED LATTE
Now that Spring is here I am gravitating towards iced latte’s. My go to is always the VANILLIA LATTE with ALMOND MILK. COFFEE CONNECTIONS HILLIARD makes an amazing iced latte and is my absolute fav coffee shop to pop in to.
ADULT BEVIES
POST RACE MIMOSA
There is truly something just right about a post race mimosa! CAMERON MITCHELL PREMIER EVENTS knows how to make them-lots of bubbles and a splash of orange juice. Chefs kiss!
MORE THAN MY SPORT
Thinking deeply about friendship/sisterhood these days. As athletes we are more than opponents, teammates etc. Through sport, we develop bonds that others may not understand. The journey we experience is something we get from athlete to athlete. It is a commonality that the outside world doesn’t have the gift of experiencing.
The bonds we create over the miles, during practices, wins, defeats are unlike any other. Hold tight to those relationships-they are special. These connections will last through it all, they are important and hold more than memories. They hold part of your story and this sisterhood will understand how sweet and sacred that is.
THIS WEEK IN WOMEN IN SPORTS HISTORY
On April 14, 2018, NPR reported on Abdul-Qaadir, a Muslim basketball player who holds the state record for the highest all-time high school scorer for men and women. She played for the University of Memphis and was the first Muslim woman in a headscarf to play NCAA Division I.
The week of April 14th also sees the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day, hosted by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The day is a celebration of women’s sports and the impact they have on society.
ALL THE GEAR
These are my favs! The absolute best in recovery for your feet! Whatever sport you play, these are your answer to happiness post activity! I own multiple pairs. The slides are my favorite as I can wear barefooted or with socks. FLEET FEET COLUMBUS carries OOFOS in many different styles and colors.
An essential part of my running routine, especially when wearing skirts. This BODY GLIDE is amazing and is the anti chafe answer! Use it anywhere you chafe and you will not be sorry.
COACHES CORNER
I LOVE THIS:
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
I’ll always get up after I fall.
And whether I run, walk or have to crawl,
I’ll set my goals and achieve them all!
Take this with you for the rest of the week and go crush your goals!
