Dawn Jackson Blatner Adds 'Fun' to Nutrition
Dawn's Street Cred:
- Nutritionist to World Series Champions Chicago Cubs
- Author of The Flexitarian Diet & The Superfood Swap
- SHAPE Magazine Advisory Board
- Huffington Post Nutrition Blogger
- Winner of ABC Reality Show, My Diet Is Better Than Yours
"
Part of my philosophy, is that I do not just depend on nutrition, I also depend on the fun factor; I really, really think that is the missing piece to food. People think in order to be healthy you need chicken, brown rice and broccoli but I can make it a lot more fun with barbeque chicken skewers, sweet potatoes and a sautéed vegetable. Instead of the boring meal, you get the same nutrition in a more fun format."

5 Racing Trends Reveal the Future of Running
According to the 2017 Running USA State of the Sport Report there are several trends emerging in running and racing. For the third straight year the number of road race finishers has declined in the U.S., dropping to under 17 million for the first time since 2012.
With the sharp decline in obstacle and other themed races, it will be interesting to see where the trend heads next and how much more creative race directors can be without sacrificing our high expectations. Race on!
