Fitness
Alyssa’s been an avid exerciser for as long as she can remember and she swears it has kept her sane through all of the ups and downs along her life’s journey. So find out what she does to stay healthy and in shape, along with her latest “favs”.
Running
6 weeks before Alyssa’s crazy, weird diagnosis…she doesn’t look sick?!
Just shy of two years after Alyssa had her last bone marrow transplant. Oh, and she was the first chick to finish the race…Go Alyssa!!
It started with a race and ended with a race. Alyssa’s been a devoted distance runner for almost 20 years! And even though she had to slow it down a bit (OK, a lot!) during her treatments, she was still able to exercise throughout her arduous medical course and was caught on more than a few occasions doing her daily hour “power walk” on the treadmill in the Bone Marrow Unit during her treatments…just goes to show, you can’t keep a good girl down! :)
Walking & Hiking
Alyssa setting out for a power walk while on “house arrest” for eight months following her bone marrow transplants—and looking extra cool with no hair and a mask…Oh, the looks she would get!
On a hike a Kennesaw Mt with her hubby…Alyssa LOVES to be outside!
Hot Yoga
Hot yoga, otherwise known as Bikram yoga, is one of Alyssa’s newer favs—especially on a chilly or rainy day when it’s just not as fun to be outside. Just make sure to bring a towel and lots of water…it gets a little “warmish” in there!
