Pitches and Podiums

Hello world.

 

My name is Amelia, and I have always had more energy than the average human. My parents will tell you that as a child, I would run like a tornado through the house with an explosive amount of energy. After jumping on every piece of furniture and running through every room in the house, I would curl up into a ball to nap before repeating the process. 

​

My parents encouraged me to funnel that explosive energy into something that help them (not me) sleep at night. That is when I started running at the ripe age of 10 years old. I didn't know what shoes to wear or what a 6 minute mile was or what proper form meant. I simply put on some shoes and enjoyed the experience that many call the "runner's high". 

​

Since that point in my life, I have experienced that same elevated feeling by trail running, hiking, climbing, and enjoying the company of fellow outdoor enthusiasts. I hope that this blog is useful in inspiring others to get outdoors and appreciate the beautfy of nature that surrounds us every day.
