Why does any girl start running? I needed to keep the pounds. Through the years, it has become my time to think, to distress, and to challenge myself.
2. What is your running/fitness routine for a typical week?
Two bootcamp sessions and 2-3 cardio sessions (running is my preference but to give my body a break I also bike or swim)
3. What is your favourite distance to run?
When my body allows it, I like 8-10 mile runs. It’s long enough that I know I’ve done something, short enough that it’s doable in not too much time.
4. Best running memory?
A girlfriend was training for her first marathon. I told her I would keep her company while she trained. Three weeks before her race, I decide to run the half and ended up running my personal best at that distance. We sorted out a lot of life problems on those runs that summer.
5. Do you run solo or with a group? I try to run with a friend every weekend. During the week, I’m on my own.
6. Do you have any current running goals?
My goal in the winter is to run a minimum of twice a week – preferably outside. A big goal is to run pain free again – I’ll get there!
Stretch more!

I agree, I hope I am as fit as Melanie at her age! She has some rocking arms!
