This year’s Umeke, representing last Saturday’s race, which was unlike any I’d done before, will serve as a reminder of what this particular event afforded me the opportunity to experience. Digging deeper than I had before and proving to myself that I could, even when, in the moment, I didn’t actually believe it! Typically, if […]

What do you see when you look at this image? What do you think of? Perhaps fresh, healthy, balanced? Colorful? Organic? Would you think automatically that this is an example of a gluten-free meal?
