About me

Hi! I’m Ashley, a farmer's wife and a mom of two wild and incredible boys. I’ve been a stay-at-home mom since 2015, and it has been my favorite, most rewarding job. Over the last few years we have created our very own funny farm. We started with dogs and quickly added goats, chickens and ducks to the mix. They all make the best pets! Life keeps me pretty busy, but I’m always ready to jump into a good book, head to the beach, take a run or spend the day with friends and family. 

I crossed my very first finish line in 2017, two years after my first son was born. It was on a total whim; a friend convinced me to join in. Not enough training and the lack of love for running almost made me say “no”. 

I am so thankful I agreed! After about a week of recovering, I decided that I could do better and it really wasn’t that bad. Since 2017, I have completed races ranging from 5k to 50k. Running has really become a passion of mine. It has taught me so much about life. With a little determination and grit, anything is possible. 

Soon after my first race, I decided to really dive into fitness. I became a certified ACE Group Fitness Instructor in 2018 and started teaching classes at a small studio. I became an AAAI-ISMA Personal Trainer in 2021 and a certified Road Runners Club of America run coach in 2022.  I’ve always had a passion for helping people, and now I’m ready to help people reach their goals and give them the exhilarating feeling of crossing a finish line.  I’m here, waiting to get into the Nitty Gritty for you!
