Hi! My name is Callie and I am a wannabe athlete.
I started this blog in April 2010 as a way to track my journey to a healthy lifestyle. I went from being unable to run a mile to running a 10k and completing a sprint triathlon.
And then, the day before my first ever 10k, I found out I was pregnant!
I wasn’t able to workout during my pregnancy as much as I would have liked due to some health complications. I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on June 1, 2011 and I am now back on my journey to a healthy, fit lifestyle.
Thanks for stopping by! Please leave a comment on any post — I read them all.

I’m so not a born athlete either, we got this!!
I can relate! The lack of ability part. But we’re gonna rock it out anyway!
Love it! Love your blog. <3
Congrats on all the amazing accomplishments!
How did you get started on all this? Was it easy or did you have to push yourself?
In general, how do you motivate yourself?
Thanks! It has certainly not been “easy”, but I am amazed at how attainable it has been. I have definitely had to push myself on certain days, but the progress I have seen is a great motivator!
My friend Emily (blog: http://sheleaps.blogspot.com/) introduced me to yours and I have to say that I am in the same position (https://valbonabushi.wordpress.com/). I am completing my first olympic distance triathlon this Sunday, and then training for my first marathon (NYC 2011). Maybe we’ll do a race together in the future
Greetings from a new reader! I can totally relate to the “wannabe athlete” feeling. I just had a conversation with my mom the other week about running and she said something like, “…but it comes naturally for you…” To which I replied with, “No it doesn’t!!!”
You rock
Your bullet points inspire me!!
I just found your blog and I love it. What do you teach? I’m majoring in math and education so I’ll probably go down into the middle school age.
Anywho-I can’t wait to read more.
Love the blog! I’m a personal trainer and I love hearing about people getting excited about their accomplishments. Keep up the good work!
Hello from a new reader!! Love the blog and can’t wait to read more!
Ok so I must admit – I’ve been following your tweets for some time now but this is the first time I’m commenting on your blog. I wish you lots of luck on your pending mommyhood – my best friend is about to pop as I type this so “know” the feeling (as much as a non-mom can “know”)! Hang in there and I look forward to reading lots more!
Oh I can relate…to the not being able to run a mile part? LOL I don’t even want to try BUT, you’ve inspired me to at least pull out my yoga mat and get back into that!
Love your story. And don’t you look amazing pregnant! Thanks for sharing your story.
