About
Thanks for stopping by healthy ashley. I’m Ashley, freelancer and personal trainer living in Asheville, NC, with my husband, four dogs and three cats.
I love staying active and favor endurance events, yoga and CrossFit. I completed my first Ironman distance triathlon October 2010 and have done two ultra marathons (and dropped out of a 50-mile race). My favorite marathon is Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth, MN.
I’m vegan and love good food. Expect lots of Pad Thai and cupcakes from me.
On September 9, 2011, I crashed my bike going downhill on a training ride. I broke my pelvis in three places, suffered a concussion and had lots of road rash. Right now I’m working on healing so I can learn how to walk again. Here is the first post after the fall.
Follow me as I heal, get back to training and kick ass in another Ironman and more.

Loving the new blog!
Yay for new blogs!
Your new site looks great! And congrats on your big move!
The new site looks great!! I’ve been vegetarian for 8 years now and am raising both of my girls vegetarian as well. Living in a house with an omnivore (my husband) has it’s difficult moments, but we make it work! I’m slowly (but surely) moving myself and the girls to a gluten free/vegan diet this year. I’ve played around with it for long enough!!
Hi Ashley – Thanks for visiting my blog! I just eliminated dairy from my diet and have found that I really don’t miss it – and I’m interested to transitioning to vegan at some point. Very excited to follow along!
Ashley, I love your blog and the new look. I have to ask…what breed are your dogs?! They are gorgeous! I’m a dog-lover (without a dog at the moment). Can I ask how big they get and how much they weigh? They are just beautiful.
Love following your journey!
Thank you!
Dixie is boxer/black lab. ~68 pounds
~50 pounds
Braxton is pit bull/black lab. ~75 pounds
Barley is… some kind of mutt
Apparently big black dogs are the least likely to be adopted, but we love all three of ours!
Hey there! I just found your blog, and I am loving it! I am actually coming to Asheville in a few weekends and am currently training for a marathon. I have a 15 miler scheduled for that weekend… do you find that Asheville has good running trails/routes? I’d love to experience what it has to offer
Congrats on the new site – it looks great! My boyfriend and I want to check out Asheville at some point this spring – we hear it’s awesome. I’ll definitely be hitting you up if we do
I love the layout of your site! Just had to tell you
You’re adorable!
Loving your blog! I’ll be coming back for more
