My name is Heather.
Once upon a time I was a nomadic surfer girl who spent her days floating in the ocean and her nights slinging cheeseburgers and beer for a living as a waitress in a resort town, without much of a care in the world.
And then, I unexpectedly became a mom.
And soon after, I unexpectedly fell in love with running.
And though it may sound silly to some, running changed my life. With a sudden sense of a much greater purpose, I went back to school and spent the last 4 years busting my butt to get earn a BS in exercise and sport science. Oh, and spent some of that time growing another baby. Now, a single mom of two boys, I am an ACSM certified Health Fitness Specialist who has an undying passion to motivate people to become active and healthy.
I'm truly convinced exercise will save the world.I am obsessed with collecting race medals, but only when properly earned. I try to love triathlons but I'm not sure they love me back. I love Richard Simmons, I hate peanut butter, and I can't stand to sit still for long periods of time. Fitness is my passion. Housework (laundry, dishes, you catch the drift) is my nemesis. I am sarcastic, loving, and I tend to "over share"
This is my blog. These are my never ending adventures. Join me for a few miles...
