If you've ever wondered what words of advice we would have to our clients, friends, and family before the Marji Gesick now is a chance to be a fly on the wall.

We will have 20+ clients on course over the next ~2 days. Some have goals to buckle, honor a loved one, contribute to another's green dot, and most importantly, to finish.

We've been supporting folks from registration to race day for the Marji Gesick through our Self-Support Nutrition program. Every week, we discuss some aspect of nutrition in a series called .

This message is important whether you are lining up, support crewing, suffer crewing, or watching from home. It doesn't matter if you're a current or past client of ours. It's not about whether you ever work this us.

It's about a message shared from one human to another. See you at the finish line. 🫶👊

Trigger warning: tears, loss, grief, bad assery.Consider this your Marji pep talk. Not that you need one. You're all ready.

I was talking to a client today about the Marji Gesick and he shared that after he gets his green dot that he wants to come back and volunteer.

I recently transitioned my MG2025 plans from being on course of the duathlon to suffer crewing at the finish line. My response was simple,

"Don't feel like you have to earn that green dot before you give yourself permission to be of service to someone else's."

I shared that I have hundreds of pictures from suffer crewing at Polar Roll, The Crusher (pictured), and in a little over a week at Marji. These are exponentially more pictures than had I participated in each of those events.

And while I'd give just about anything to be on that course, I won't miss the opportunity to show up. I'm in my suffer crew era and inviting you to be in yours.

Me at 10:30pm last night: What if you don’t feel like eating the dinner you cooked at 2pm?

Asking for a friend.

School is back in session. Between school and practices there is so much dropping off and picking up.

Yesterday I was up from 6am to MIDNIGHT. I made the conscious decision to make dinner band for my 3pm client so that my family could eat before practice. I wasn’t hungry then and I definitely was hungry at 10:30pm when I finally had time to eat.

So what did I do? I helped myself to some crunchy green grapes, scooped myself some dinner, salted my rice and filled out the mountains of back to school paperwork.

Because you can’t take care of everyone else, if you’re not taking care of yourself. Eating enough self-care. Period.

Helmet hair, don't care. The view, the company, and the effort it took to get there.

What's the number one way to cure a bad attitude on the trail?

SNACKS!!

That's why as a mom of three and sports dietitian, I can ALWAYS be found carrying extra snacks.

Kids benefit from fueling & drinking more often than adults. So next time you're sharing the trail with a kid and you hear things like,

"This is horrible."

"When can we get back to the trailhead?"

"This trail is boring."

Take it as your cue to give them a snack & encourage them to drink water.

But what if it all works out?

Many of my clients know that I am training for the biggest race of my life, the Marji Gesick duathlon which is dubbed as the "worst of both worlds" at the "hardest single-day mountain bike event."

Some of my clients know that I suffered a back injury a month ago during a strength training session. "Training" has looked a lot different over the past month. I experienced loss of appetite due to pain, medication side effects, and having to advocate for timely care.

These are things that I help my clients with daily. These are things that we troubleshoot and then we celebrate when things get better.

I welcome you to celebrate with me. Your effort isn't useless because it looks different.

I remember being a baby dietitian and wanting to go to FNCE but the hospital where I worked wouldn't provide financial assistance for us to attend.

Fast forward 16 years later and not only do I get the chance to attend the Food and Nutrition Conference & Expo but to PRESENT?! AND I get to bring two amazing moms & business owners with. Siri change the definition of the word . See you in Nashville.
