the (mis)adventures of an ultrarunner
Since the very beginning of time itself, one question has constantly plagued the wives of the outdoor loving breed..
How can a trail craving, earth chasing wife succeed at her domestic duties while remaining true to her wild woman ways?
One may never truly know. Yet one can speculate, theorize, and ultimately form a somewhat decent hypothesis on this trying matter.

Don’t Say we are “Freakin’ Hot”!
Recently, during a conversation with some fellow ultra girls, the topic of the frequent intrusion of douchebag men in our daily running came up. As ultra chicks, we are approached by as many, if not more, loser men than the typical female. Maybe this is due to our similar levels of testosterone, or maybe its our short running shorts showcasing our killer legs. We don’t know. What we do know is that there are just some things you should never say to a woman. So if you’re a loser male specimen that tries to hit up the runner girl circles, listen up and take note to avoid getting a serious butt kicking. Continue reading “Hey, Douchebag!”
Today, I randomly decided to do a 100 mile ride, the Tony Serrano Century memorial ride. The ride is in honor of an avid cyclist and ultra runner that was tragically struck by a car while training for an ironman a few years ago. Though I never met him, today I heard all about the impact Tony had on his community through his love for the sport. To read more about Tony, please visit http://www.tonyserranoride.com

So, I wrote a really awesome post a couple of days ago recapping the weekend. It was all about my intense love for the mountains and friends and life and what have you…..
……and then somehow it was completely deleted right before my eyes. Grrr. I wanted to punch someone in the face! For real. But the only person I could punch was myself, because I was the one that hit the delete button. Shame.
So, sorry ’bout your luck, but you now get the highly condensed version sans all of my estrogen laced, schizophrenic banter. Maybe that’s a good thing? I’m not even going to proofread this one. I apologize if it is incoherent, rambling, and overall just filled with absolute suckiness.

Daniel is a genius nickname creator. He gives nicknames to people he really likes, people he hates, and people he thinks generally just deserve a good nickname- and people he respects.
Why should you take advice from me? Crap. I don’t know, you probably shouldn’t. Regardless, I’m sitting home on my butt with no work to do, and Daniel is at the store. The result is a post about things I’m either learning to avoid or already learned to avoid being an ultra girl. I’m easily capable of offending pretty much anyone, so just close out this page if I piss you off! Easy enough, right? 😉

See, I told you I had to tell you something cool about Badwater: http://www.ultrachicksunite.com/2012/03/chapter-1-badwater.html
But that’s not even all the cool stuff going on! I’ve also been invited to run and write about two other epic races!!!!! I’m running late to pick up Brooklyn, and I still gotta ride my brand spankin new bike today! 🙂 So I’ll dish on those later. But check out that article, and let me know what you think!
Let’s keep this simple.;)
You’ve read the posts on this blog, right? Cool.. Then you know I’m a nut job.
Well- Daniel bought me some medicine for that today….
Just posted a new article about a woman that really inspired me by traveling the globe for a year having incredible adventures with her husband. If you know me well— well than you know me, and you’ll get why I found this woman so fascinating. Continue reading “New Post on UltraChicksUnite.com, and then some..”
I just need to write. Don’t expect any quality writing, grammar, humor, or depth from me today. This is just straight up raw emotion and thoughts.
I went out to run today. I couldn’t do it. My legs simply still do not work. I have no motivation, no ambition, no drive. No Ashley. Continue reading “I don’t know where I’m going with this..I just need to write.”
