Miles for Ashley.

Monday, September 12th

Hey, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We certainly did, it was nice to be in our new city and have a chance to explore and just relax. I’ll tell you more about that later, but first I wanted to let you all know what happened to my dear, sweet friend, Ashley. The one whose gorgeous wedding I was blessed to be a part of.

On Friday afternoon she was cycling in Asheville, going downhill at about 25-30 MPH, when she hit a patch of gravel and crashed. You can read her words on it, here. She’s going to be out of commission for a while and Callie has been amazing and started fundraising for her, since she won’t be able to work for the next few months. Hopefully that will help ease the financial burden of being out of work, so if you can contribute, please do! I thought I would collect something different than funds as well. I want to collect miles for her. She won’t be able to ride her bike or go for a run(two of her favorite things) these next few months. So, I wanted to dedicate my miles to her and want to invite you all to do the same!

For the next few months, if you want to dedicate your miles to Ashley, you can use the hashtag #MilesForAshley on twitter and leave a comment on this post with the miles as you collect them. You can leave them daily or weekly, whichever is easiest for you! At the end I will go through each of the comments and add them together for her. She can also check back here everyday to read how you all are doing and any encouraging words you want to leave for her to go with your workout reports. I know that Ashley loves inspiring others to be their best and would be so encouraged to see how others are staying active and dedicating their workouts to her. I’ve been blessed to have run with her a few times and she’s the most fun, positive and encouraging running partner. She was with me on my longest run to this day(8.62 miles) and pushed me beyond what I thought I could accomplish. I want to show her that she can and will continue to push others to move, be active and sweat once a day!

I’m so grateful she’s still here today and I know for a fact she will be back and better than ever in no time. I hope you’ll join me in encouraging her through running, cycling, practicing yoga and sweating(just leave the amount of time you worked out if running or cycling isn’t your workout of choice). Hopefully this will continue to encourage her, so she can get back to doing the activities she loves very soon. Go leave her some encouraging words on her blog as well! :)

Thanks, friends!
