At the end of every day, I would take my favorite drink, tequila straight up in a large shotglass. There was no need to put anything else with it. I would pull it out of the freezer with ice crystals still glistening on the sides of the bottle as soon as I got home. I would think about this drink all day. I gently poured the booze in a shot glass as I tried to savor this moment but without hesitation, tossed it in my mouth. I couldn’t wait for this.

Protein is essential for everyone, females included.  Especially endurance athletes and even more so as we get into our perimenopause years which can begin in our mid-late 30s.  As we age, we need to consume more protein, not less.
