About Me



My name is Ashley and I am 26 years old.  I grew up in Yarmouth on Cape Cod! (Yes where the beaches are!). I have been living in Boston since September 2007 and absolutely love it.


My favorite things to do are run/exercise, go shopping, dine in new places, travel and relax!

I started amping up my exercise in 2008 with spinning and that gave me my true love for working up a sweat! Nothing feels better than after a long day or even to start the day with a great workout.

It wasn’t until August 2009 when I decided to run a marathon. Over the past year, I have gone from running 3 miles to 26.2! I ran my first marathon on October 10,2010 in Chicago!

Getting Stronger, Burning Fat is a phrase my spinning teacher Danielle says to the class to keep us motivated. I love it and have used it as my blog name because it goes along great with all of my goals. This blog was created to share the journey of running, losing weight and most importantly, living a healthy and active life style!


Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO, Ashley
