Endurance Meg

I'm an adventure seeker and endurance junkie! I'm also a PhD candidate in biomedical engineering. Follow along as I tackle challenges of all different kinds.

Torn apart layer by layer
It’s been awhile. It’s been quiet here. I’ve been quiet. My mind has been quiet. My body has been still. Finally. Still, in the sense of not moving. No vibrations, no fluttering. No undulations or perturbations. Just still. A layer of me, my peac...[Read on]
SoCal-apalooza, or “this place does not suck”
I should start by saying, in bold letters (and maybe even a bit of underlining), that I love what I do. My job is awesome. I love academia, I love where I am seeing my career go, and I love being able to work closely with the best people in the world. I a...[Read on]
The Spring Thaw: Icebreaker from Natureshop
Many of you know I have a passion for merino wool. You may remember a post I made last spring about my upgrading wardrobe. I also have talked about the GT goods on the Team Mega Tough blog. If it’s wool, there’s a good chance that I love it. But I hav...[Read on]
Gluten sensitivity and my new favorite bakers
I’ve been gluten-free for over three years now, and without getting up on my soap box, I know it is a diet that works for me. I used to suffer from all sorts of digestive issues; cramping, bloating, irritability. I would always complain about how my sto...[Read on]
Looking for motivation
I am less than nine weeks away from my first big race of the 2011 season. NINE weeks. That is not very long. To be technical about it, it’s only 60 days off. Eek. All sorts of thoughts are flooding my brain, and I’d rather not go too deep into them wi...[Read on]
SCIENCE! of bears
I couldn’t be more proud of one of today’s NPR stories. One of my favorite professors at Michigan Tech, Dr Seth Donahue, was featured in a story discussing the research of hibernating bears. Seth studies bear bone mechanics and osteoporosis, as well a...[Read on]
Boston Marathon: What’s the Big Deal?
There’s definitely an allure to running the Boston Marathon if you are a runner. Personally, I don’t find it my supreme goal to race there, but I would by lying if I said it isn’t on my radar. I’ve passed up registering for four years now, and I...[Read on]
I guess it was time to take a break
February started with a bang. Actually, it started with rain, winds, ice, and snow. The snow wasn’t fun snow. It was the snow that has the texture of sugar, abrasive and hellacious. It’s the snow that you loathe if you’re a Nordic skier looking for ...[Read on]
Drive versus desire
Desire: To wish or long for; want. There are many, many people out there with desires and dreams. In fact, I think you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t have a dream of some kind or another. Some people share their dreams with others op...[Read on]
Product Review and Another Contest!: Think Thin
After the Real World, Real Food challenge, I discovered that I can do a pretty decent job getting the good, filling food without the need for meat-based meals. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not a vegan. I am not even contemplating going vegetarian! I li...[Read on]
