A 15k, Five Years Later

April 7, 2018 by Amber Nicole No Comments

A 5k in the Cold

December 2, 2017 by Amber Nicole No Comments
A Local 5K I mentioned to a coworker that I was thinking about running a few miles on the dread-mill over the weekend to celebrate my six months of freedom. He asked why a dread-mill when there was another local 5k? I did not care that I only found out about...

November 25, 2017 by Amber Nicole No Comments
One of my coworkers asked if I was interested in running a local 5k. Of course I said yes! Since moving, I have been able to more regularly run. I am working on building back up my running base. I would love to be able to try to touch some...

Awareness T-Shirts

November 27, 2013 by Amber Nicole 16 Comments
I’ve had an idea floating around for quite some time. I wanted awareness t-shirts. But I was not satisfied with just any awareness shirts. Oh no, I wanted them to be a bold, in-your-face, cannot be ignored type of shirt. My first draft might have been a little too in-your-face.  ...

The problem with an adrenal crisis is the fact that no one can tell you how long it will take to recover. Each one is different. You don’t want to live your life in fear, but yet you also do not want to ignore the reality of what just happened....

Testing the Limits

September 22, 2013 by Amber Nicole 5 Comments
I am one of the most tenacious fighters you will ever come across. I am stubborn, focused, and determined. I refuse to stay beaten for long. I am also a runner. A runner who accomplished many things before she was told to stop running. A runner who had to start...

Starting Over – Learning to Run Again

August 15, 2013 by Amber Nicole 2 Comments
For some reason, my state decided to have cooler temperatures today. We were at temperatures over 100 last week, but today it didn’t reach much higher than 90 degrees. COLD FRONT! The beautiful weather made me want to try to do something that I haven’t done in a good while....

June 8, 2013 by Amber Nicole 2 Comments
I had another doctor’s appointment with another specialist on May 31st. It is always such a victory when  I feel like a doctor has listened to me and validated my concerns. This doctor did. She promised me that we would all work together as a team to get me feeling...

After I graduated college, I moved to a completely new state to live with my grandmother. I had a full time job lined up, but it didn’t begin until middle of August. I would have the summer to rest and relax before I started my big girl job. Well, I...
