Hi! Welcome to my blog. My name is Ashley. I just turned 40, and I am training for my first marathon this year. I have run three half marathons, three 190-mile relay races, and a whole host of 12k, 10k, and 5ks over the last few years, yet, I don't consider myself a runner. I am hoping that through my training for a marathon I will (in my mind) achieve runner status. My plan is to write about my training and transformation so please follow along with me in what will be undeniably a fun, emotional, challenging, and life changing experience!

Words of Wisdom

I read this quote in my Runner's World magazine last night and thought it was worth reading over and over again, especially as I am just getting started with my training....

"When it comes time to go after a goal, starting the belief system early will create the mental road map the body can follow leading up to the event."
