Springtime!
Friday, March 27th, 2009Responsibilities

My mom’s 60th
Friday, March 13th, 2009Yesterday was my mom’s 60th birthday. Granted that she easily can get away with being 10 maybe even 15 years younger, she embraces her new “senior citizen” status with pride. My family had a wonderful time out to dinner to celebrate last night at a festive Puerto Rican restaurant in San Rafael.

Hello! My name is Clara Peterson. I am a professional 5k and 10k runner and before that ran for Duke University where I was a five time All-American. From my picture you may notice that I am on maternity leave however. In the beginning my running career I suffered from something called Athletic Energy Deficit (AED). What this means was that I was not providing enough fuel for the amount my body was exercising and as a result I suffered some serious bone loss. Since I became educated on how to fuel my sport, I have built my bone density back and feel stronger than ever. I am here today to help other young athletes like myself become strong young women who do a good job eating for their sport so their bones done suffer the way mine did. Enjoy!
