Hello! I’m Amelia! I started this blog as a way to bring focus and motivation to my exercise life. Since starting the blog in early 2009 I have run five half marathons and two full marathons (Walt Disney World 2010 and Hamptons 2010). I am currently training for the New York City Marathon in November!
I’m a 26 year old living and working in New York City. I work at a law firm (not a lawyer, just work for ‘em!) and live with my fabulous roommate and friend Deirdre (the other half of this blog!). I’m originally from Memphis, TN and try to get back there as often as I can in order to visit family and friends.
My favorite things include reading, cooking, art museums, music, and great restaurants. Hopefully I can share some of these interests through this blog!
Hope y’all enjoy!
Hey! Thanks for the comment on my blog. I’m excited to read more from you and Deirdre. Sounds like you’re both on the right track to a happier, healthier lifestyle. It’s so nice that you’re doing it TOGETHER!
thanks for the comment! looking forward to reading your blog and following your journey to the half marathon.
[...] rest of Valentine’s Day was leisurely and enjoyable. I made two kinds of Olive Oil Muffins for Amelia, the highest bidder in Meghann’s Blogger Bake Sale. I sampled them and they were delicious. Then [...]
It was great to see you, I hope you guys had fun!
Amelia,
You’re a TN girl! Anything special I can send you from home that you can’t find in NYC…probably not. How about I package up Kenny Chesney and mail him? I totally think he’d fit in the post office box.
Hi there Amelia! I am so glad I just found your blog! Love the idea and I also am training for a marathon this year ( a full in November) Where/When is yours?
Best of luck as you train!

Woot woot! I did two halfs before registering for Disney too! I can’t wait to meet you Saturday!
It was nice to meet you for, like, 2 seconds! Looking forward to getting to know you better via the interwebs
