My name is Ashlie and I am a runner in Michigan. I am married to my High School sweetheart and we have a beautiful daughter who is 3 years old.

​

I am a full-time 5th grade teacher located in my dream school district. Some days I wonder how I fit it all in, working full-time, being a mom, wife, and getting my workouts in. 

​

I started running in 2012 when my sister-in-law thought it would be a great idea to run a 5k Shamrock Shuffle. To be honest, I didn't even know how many miles a 5k was. I went out there and just had fun. I finished my first 5k in 29:40. Not to bad since I never ran in my life. In the fall of 2012, my co-worker decided it would be fun to run a half marathon. I signed up and began training for my first half marathon in Atlanta. I finished in 2:09 and was so proud of that time. Ever since that race, I was hooked. I have done 10 half marathons and 1 full marathon since. I have never really cared about my time or setting goals for myself until recently. I was running and racing for fun. Recently, I started caring a little more and am curious where my hard work and training are going to take me this year!
