As you know, Dr. Jenna Renshaw is an important member of the Worthington Hills Dental team. Not only has she made a career in healthcare, she also practices a healthy lifestyle in her personal life. Dr. Renshaw and her husband, Dr. Alex Renshaw, an orthopedic surgery resident with Ohio Health, enjoy spending their summers working in their vegetable garden and competing in half marathons and triathlons.
Dr. Renshaw and her husband are participating in Pelotonia this year. Below is our Q&A with Dr. Renshaw about what inspired them to start their Pelotonia journey:
1) What inspired you and your husband to join in the Pelotonia journey? Both alex and I have had to deal with cancer in our families. My dad had cancer, was treated and cured when I was a little girl. Alex’s grandpa died of a brain tumor that wasn’t treatable. We want more money to go to research to help people with this devastating disease. We never want cancer to affect people’s families as it has ours!
3) Do you or your husband fuel with anything specific? We are 100% VEGAN!! Plant power all the way!!! The best way to be healthy and have great muscle to give power and endurance!! It’s surprising to find out that a lot of great athletes are vegan.
4) Are there any goals along this journey you are looking forward to reaching? Personal or otherwise? For Dr. Alex: not have a sore butt after the race and to be able to keep up with Dr. Jenna!! Dr. Alex’s hip flexors aren’t as strong!! For Dr. Jenna: get back into pre-babies shape!
5) Any advice to our readers who want to join the effort? You don’t have to be in excellent shape to join in this cause. All riders will come together and support each other during the race!
6) Kanye or Garth? Beyonce or Taylor? Dr. Alex loves rap, but we both love country. Dr. Jenna is a Wyoming girl at heart, so she was raised on country!
7) Podcasts we need to listen in on too? What’s a podcast?? 😉
8) Will this be a tradition for you and your husband? We hope it will! And maybe next year we can do the longer race after Dr. Alex realizes he can survive!
