Give yourself a protein boost by trying any of these protein cookies—each of which are editor tested (you’re welcome).
A post-workout cookie isn’t a bad nutritional choice, as long as it’s packed with protein (like these baked treats) and carbs. We find cookies preferable to choking down a dense protein bar, and they win convenience points over blending up a protein smoothie. Check out how these nutrient-dense cookies crumbled.

ED. Kristina Swenson is a remarkable young woman. She's smart, caring and a terrific athlete (former Minnesota Junior of te Year, Most Improved nominee etc.)
She's also a talented writer. On Facebook, she prefaced the blog post--a letter to her 2018 self--you are about to read with these words: I haven't written for a very long while, but I finally felt it was time. 2018 was a big year for me. There were a lot of really tough times and a lot of really good times. Heading into 2019, I'm stronger, I'm healthier, and I'm happier. Thank you to everyone who has been part of my 2018...

There were tough decisions. But it was also SO SO good. There were great memories. There were smart choices. There was a lot of wisdom gained. I am so proud of the woman you've become. You're stronger. You're healthier. You're happier. And you have a whole lot more love to give. So looking back, what do I want you to remember about this year? ....

The MTN Guys are bursting with yuletide cheer. It we could, we'd give every Minnesota triathlete a great gift for Christmas.
But we lack means and imagination, so once again, we are going to pretend to give stuff to various prominent triathletes.
Today we are giving imaginary gift cards.
JAN GUENTHER (18 x MMA winner; 2 x Ironman Wisconsin winner) - We want her to have a $5000 "Sleep Number" gift card. We visited one of their stores not long ago and were very impressed. We both fell asleep while testing one of the beds! According to the sales person, one of us--the one who's name rhymes with "Poody"- did NOT snore, and the other one, ..
