About (healthy) Ashley


ashley
Ashley recently quit her political marketing job and is now looking at the world as her playground.


She really loves all things health and fitness (and this blog!).


She recently moved from her perfect little apartment with original wood floors in the heart of South Tampa, Fl. to a big old house in Orlando to be with her boyfriend David, puppy Dixie and two cats- Kitty and Jack.

A vegetarian since 2001, Ashley would marry frozen mango, avocado, sweet potato fries and edamame if it were legal.


After falling in love with running, she is playing with half marathons and training for her first full marathon Jan. 10, 2010!


She can't sing to save her life and would much rather cook a fun meal at home than go "out."

Oh- and she loves dogs.

the blog

    I love everything about this page--the photos, the way it is written, it's a great tribute/introduction to your wonderful blog :)

    P.S. If you marry produce can I marry carbs?

  18. Monty Mason on August 6, 2009 4:45 PM

    Hi Ashley, I read the "should the personal trainer be fit" question and thought I would respond! YES, they should be, to be "heavy" is fine but out of shape is unacceptable. I assume the clients that they would attract and retain would be somewhat limited!

     
  19. blueberrymuffins on August 13, 2009 9:05 PM

    Lol what a cute page :)!
