Tina’s go-to-strategy- always have a race on the books!
WR: How would you describe yourself?
T: Published author, health blogger, Fitfluential ambassador, marathoner, CrossFit addict, pug lover, iced coffee enthusiast.
WR: How did you get into blogging?
T: I wanted to stay on track with healthy eating and exercise in preparation for my wedding day, so I started a blog to record my progress. I also wanted all of my recipes and workout in one place. Carrots ‘N’ Cake was just a personal online journal and then it grew into a full-time job– and a book!

T: A few things: always having a race on my calendar, my friends (many of them are runners too), and DailyMile (I love recording my runs on there).
WR: What’s your favorite race memory?
T: I absolutely loved running the New York City Marathon last year. I ran it with a friend, so we had a blast for the entire 26.2 miles. Here’s my recap: http://carrotsncake.com/2011/11/new-york-city-marathon-recap.html
