“If I can become a runner, anyone can!”

“I think you learn more from your failures than your successes.”

“At times, I feel like no matter what I look like, there will be body-shamers.”

“It's scary to think I only have me to rely on. But there's something liberating about that.”

“I make a concerted effort to go watch the sunset a few days a week, have a glass of wine, and take a moment to feel fortunate and grateful for the view and for my life.”

“I almost feel off-balanced and more tired if I don't go for a run.”

“It definitely gets lonely being single.”

“I get in a gym, put on my headphones and sweat it out by running, doing the stair master, abs, and free weights. I love doing circuit training.”

“I was the girl who kind of went straight from high school to college. Then straight from college to law school.”

“I'm not just the tough chick from Atlanta who's an attorney. I'm a girl who wants to be courted and have the love of her life.”

“I was training for the N.Y.C. Marathon and was really lean and people would tell me I looked too skinny and sick and that I should go eat a cheeseburger... Those words hurt, I'm not going to lie.”

“You can't make a mistake by moving to New York in my opinion. There's only good things here.”

“A lot of times, people will say, 'You're running away from your problems.' So what? Why do you have to sit there and confront every single issue? Sometimes going away is the best answer.”

“Some good stories come out of being single in New York.”

“I love altering my stuff and that's something I've learned over time: You don't have to buy a shirt and just wear it as it is. A little tuck here, a little nip there, making a deeper plunge in the front - it's not pretty, though, I'll tell you that. I always tell people not to look at the seams.”

“I think by now everyone knows I am a terrible dancer, but I am an equally terrible singer.”

“I've embraced the single life and all the glorious independence it has to offer.”

“I never grew up a runner. I never thought of myself as somebody that was fit or somebody that could advocate for that and then the more people kind of have caught onto it, it's inspired me to keep going, the more I keep doing it. And it's just kind of become something that I really like and I think it's relatable in the sense of I'm not an athlete.”

“A good date is someone who's creative, somebody who thinks of something. Whether it's a show, whether it's a certain place for dinner, don't just be the average run-of-the-mill guy.”

“Belgium is such a beautiful place with so much history and charm.”
