It's race season!

The weather is getting warmer (on some days), the days are getting longer, and the race calendars are getting busier! It's my favorite time of year,

About Me

~Amy: I'm not one of those people that was a born "runner". I stumbled into it by participating in a local 5k in 2009 and was hooked. I completed my first half marathon at Disney World in 2011 and my first marathon in Rome, Italy in 2013. I said I was only going to do one marathon and figured if I'm only doing it once, go big or go home. Less than a year later I've already completed a second marathon and will be doing a third next weekend. For the last three years, I've been working with my doctors to figure out what is wrong with my digestive system. We're finally starting to make some progress. We've learned I have Gastroparesis and a unique blend of symptoms of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis which we are treating as UC currently. There are a few more things in the works that we are trying to figure out, so stay tuned! The digestive issues have forced me to make some changes to my eating habits. I minimize gluten, dairy, and sugar; have become pescatarian; stay away from alcohol and fried foods; and have to be careful what veggies I eat. In 2013 I obtained my Personal Training Certification and am looking forward to putting it to good use to help myself and others!
