Work With Me
Welcome to VITA
Train for Life and the ramblings, sponsorships, articles and favorite things of Allie Burdick.
The purpose of this space is to encourage, motivate and inspire my readers by sharing my experiences. I have achieved a lot in my athletic life by hard work and dedication, no matter what else I had to handle in my personal life. Through marriage, a (surprise!) twin pregnancy and becoming a work-at-home mom, I have persevered and I love showing my readers, both here and across the web, that they can do it too…or just live vicariously through me.

I was part of an influencer/blogger team at the Runner’s World Half and Festival 2015 where I met some of my running heroes, ran four races in three days (including my very first trail race) and wrote several pieces about all of my adventures in Bethlehem, PA!
Meeting and having lunch with the amazing, record holding Olympian, Deena Kastor
