I grew up in Colorado and have always had a huge passion for the mountains, but on the other hand, I have grown to LOVE the beach. When I get the chance to go on vacation, I am going to the beach! In light of my beach loving ways I got scuba certified a couple years ago and have become passionate about being underwater. I am fairly sure I was a fish in a past life! However, there was a small problem I have had with my love of sand between my toes; the beach means water, which means swimming, which means wearing a swimsuit! EEEEEEK! Let's just say I am not a huge fan of swimsuit season.

I have always been Miss Independent. I can take care of myself, no I don't need your help, and of course my two favorite words... I'M FINE. Yes I have gained weight but I'm fine. I know you haven't seen me out and about for a while but I'm fine.

We all want to be inspired. I started Skirt Sports because I was looking for something to wear that would inspire me in my training and racing. That idea morphed into something that I never expected - a culture of inspiration. I'm lucky. I'm surrounded by it on a daily basis through my new daughter, my friends and family, and my incredible Skirt supporters. That means you!

Today we bring you a new blog series of real life inspiration. One of our very own, Corie French, Skirt Sports Operations Administrator, has decided to share her story. She is not a famous actor or athlete. She is not sponsored by Gatorade or endorsing Jenny Craig. She is not dating a celebrity or competing on Dancing with the Stars. She could be your next door neighbor. She's a real person, dealing with real, everyday life issues.

For the first 3 months we kept saying, "This isn't so bad." Suddenly one night, it went from not-so-bad to not-so-good. Our saving grace is Wilder's chubby little mug (see pic at 12 weeks). When we are struggling to get out of bed, one look at her face, and we summon the strength.

I'm getting back into the groove. But wait a sec. There is no "back." This is an all-new set of grooves. There will never be a return to an old groove, in any way. Pre-Wilder, I knew this would be the case. But now that I'm actually here, I've got some new grooves to figure out!

Allison is a freelance writer, runner and mother on the go. We think she spends more time playing in the outdoors (and we are talking hard core play) than sitting at her computer. We hope her take on our Feminine Athlete topic inspires to get out there and kick some bootie.
