I love to run.
I feel like it's a drug and I can't wait to get my next fix.
Sprinting up hills makes my day ;)
I'd like to think I'm tough as nails, but don't we all?
Right now I'm on a marathon kick, I'm always looking for some kind of race. Recently I've gotten into triathlons, that's what I'll be chasing next.
Chrissie Wellington and Kara Goucher are my heroes <3
After a year of injuries in 2011 and finally recovering, I decided to take the leap and become a Personal Trainer. There's nothing more important to me than fitness and health. I would love nothing more than to achieve my goals and help others reach their maximum potential and achieve theirs as well.
My ultamite goal is to do an Ironman.

Before I run off to the gym for the next 3 or 4 hours of my life I must say something.
Life is not about being thin.
Life is not about a thigh gap.
Life is not about that stupid number on a scale.
I can’t tell you how fed up I get with people who are obsessed with numbers and being skinny!
You should want to be healthy and fit. You should eat right and get lots of exercise. Go fall in love with a sport. Go do something you said you could never do, prove yourself wrong!
My own mom always says “There’s no such thing as too skinny.” She barely (if at all eats) in an attempt to lose weight. Guess what, she doesn’t. Her body holds onto every ounce it can.
You say you don’t have time, go make time! Your 2 or 3 hours of video games or tv can wait. Remember, there is always someone busier than you finding a way to work out. Create a healthy balance in your life and you won’t be sorry.
Most importantly, respect your body.
You only get one in this life.
Why destroy it?
On that note I’m going on a 10 mile run then to my weight lifting class.
I’m proud to look like a hot mess after a long run :)
If you aren’t dripping in sweat maybe you didn’t run hard enough.
I think this is VERY important for people to remember.
For me running is about beating my own times, screw what other people can run. I want to destroy my PR’s. The fact that you’re running at all is the important thing.
