About Melissa

I'm a wife, mom of 3 teens, and runner. Running came back into my life 13+ years ago when I had 3 young kids and had just finished my doctorate. needed to MOVE and relieve some stress! What started as a way to exercise turned into a path of self-discovery. Running has pushed me to be the best wife, mom, and business owner I could possibly be. It has taught me that I'm capable of more than I believed I was - and that with hard work and commitment I can achieve the 'impossible'. I started with a coach myself 10 years ago and have reaped the benefits of this investment tenfold. Coaching has been such a gift in my life that I wanted to serve other runners in the same capacity. I only hope to be able to give back to this amazing sport and community that changed my life 13 years ago. By building custom coaching plans to fit the athlete's life, I believe together we can achieve the dreams the athlete has - and more!
