Reposting @udchs: ... "As I was growing up, I played basketball and little league baseball. When I was really little, missing a leg wasn't a huge disadvantage. The other kids weren’t that much better. By the time I got to be 10,11,12 years old, I started to notice I couldn’t keep up with them. My mom and I found out about a program in Philadelphia called the Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports. As a 13-year-old kid, I was not interested but my mom pushed me to do it. I di...d adaptive cycling and rowing. I really fell in love with hand cycling. If my mom hadn't pushed me to do it, I never would have tried it. If I hadn’t tried, then my whole life probably would have turned out differently. I tried out for the high school swim team on a whim because I had never competitively swam before. With a lot of hard work, I got a lot better to the point where I realized I wanted to set my sights on the 2012 @paralympics. The next seven years from high school to choosing a college, I wanted to make sure that I could find a place where I could swim and also get my bachelor’s degree. I always loved exercise and sports, but I also enjoyed science. In high school, I took physics and loved it and thought that was what I was gonna do forever. I would go to the library and read books on sports nutrition, stretching and strength training, but it wasn't until after undergrad at @swarthmorecollege when I was getting my personal trainer certification, that I found out about @udelaware's biomechanics program and realized biomechanics was even an option for me, let alone the option that really fused my two loves: physics and exercise. I did my master's degree in biomechanics and movement science and worked in a gait lab doing research on amputee walking biomechanics. I’m currently in the process of finishing up my Ph.D. in rehabilitation sciences at @drexeluniv. I started rock climbing about four years ago. In college, I had friends on the swim team who rock climbed and they always asked me to come - they were on my swim team - but I was so afraid of getting injured because it’s a dangerous sport if you're not careful, and I didn't want to jeopardize my swimming by doing this....co

Nixtamalization - a process for the preparation of maize (corn), or other grain, in which the corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually limewater (but sometimes wood ash lye[citation needed]), washed, and then hulled. (Wikipedia). Now we know what that means, we wanted to take a moment to shoutout to the folks at cadence and lost bread. Go check out their initiative on their website and show’em some luv for their supportive efforts during this tough crazy... time, while answering your cravings for Tamales We hope everyone is holding up/in out there. Happy Humpday. Reposting @cadencerestaurant: ... "In 2014 @ana_caballero__ walked into @akitchenphilly looking to be a part of our team...fast forward 6 years and she asked us to be a part of hers and we couldn’t be more excited about the project she has created. Ana is one of the most passionate people in our industry and one of our best friends. Please show your support! Check out the details @lostbreadco website and preorder all the tamales!"
