Running for Berries

Hi. My name is Paige Callahan. I am a 20 something college graduate from Tulane University. I'm from Annapolis, Maryland but currently residing in Rhode Island. My passions in life involve: Running, Yoga, Food, and Healthy Living. I am a Division 1 athlete for my school; I run distance and am madly in love with it. Yoga, I only started in 2012 to enhance my running and reduce my chance of injury. I had already been side lined twice by stress fractures from a combination of over training and not caring for myself properly, i.e. not stretching, icing, relaxing... yoga has helped me in many more aspects of my life though and now it is a close second to running in my heart. Food... don't we all love and yet hate food? I used to be a very picky eater but over the years as I have developed more and more food allergies I have found my taste buds expanding. I love to try new a unique foods and create odd combinations a recipes. Grocery shopping is a hobby of mine and I love to cook and bake for friends and family. I am learning to feed my bodies needs in order to train and recover in the best possible ways and I don't think my allergies inhibit this. I am allergies to fructose (a very complex allergy I am still struggling with) and milk fat (it goes along with the fructose when the details are broken down). I also do not eat meat, but I do eat non-fat dairy sources and fish. All three of these passions stream into my desire to live a healthy life and to inspire others to do so as well. I am passionate about health and fitness and bettering ourselves by bettering our bodies and I hope to make an impact on others throughout my life.
