About

I am Melissa.  I’m a wife, mother of three, former Marine, and reformed couch potato.

After a 15 year or so hiatus, I returned to running, starting with No Boundaries (a couch to 5k program) on April 1st, 2009.   April Fools’ Day was an appropriate start for me.  Through those first few steps, I started on an amazing adventure, meeting incredible people, and really seeing the beauty of the community I had lived in most of my years.

I am a Half Fanatic, Marathon Maniac, Ultra Marathoner, and pace coach for my local training team.
