About me

I do Cross Fit, I run, I swim....

And do other stuff too.

My About Me section has evolved over the life of my blog. This blog started out as a way to document my goal to run a half marathon every month during my husband's first deployment. I accomplished that goal and when he returned I didn't stop. I couldn't stop. I liked it! No, I loved it and I needed it...It made me feel like me.

Through the years I have documented many ups and downs, deployments, my first marathon, my father's diagnosis with pancreatic cancer, my epic fundraising for American Cancer Society, my move from Seattle to NC, my dad passing away,  my divorce. Life as a single woman in my 30's....

Life has thrown me some curve balls but through it all I always had the road. And most recently the barbell. I may have ignored the road and spent time away from it, even dreaded it and talked bad about it, but I always knew (and know) that it was there for me. The run was there when and if I needed it. And the cross fit box is where I spend most of my fitness time.

So who knows what's next for 5 Miles Past Empty? The way things are currently going I can tell you it will be fun....I've adjusted to single life in my 30s and while it's not where I imagined I'd be at this point in my life, I'm choosing to embrace it, enjoy it, and to be happy. With lots of new wisdom and a healthy lifestyle the sky is the limit.....

So lets get out there!
