She Runs, She Eats began in 2008 as a way to be a part of the foodie community. Sharing recipes, learning new skills, and meeting like-minded people seemed like a fun way to spend my free time! I thought of combining my love of running with being a foodie as a way to balance each other, so I became the Running Foodie.
It's a preconceived idea that runners can eat whatever they want, and perhaps it seems like that on my blog due to the number of sweets I whip up, though in reality I strive for a healthy balance. Food fuels us and gives us long-lasting energy we need to get through the day, and the foods we eat play a direct part in doing so. While I give my body the nutrients from healthy foods to keep me going strong, there will always be a place for treats every now and again. One thing I've noticed is that if the food you're eating is very flavorful, you feel satisfied with less, and you can maintain a balance between healthy foods and treats.
I began running before blogging and since then I've become hooked by the ease of it - put on your shoes and head out the door. I'm beginning to take a more serious approach by training in a way to improve my times and placements a races.
