About

My name is Michelle and I am a retired Air Force Master Sergeant.  After battling depression for many years, I have found a passion for running, cooking, writing, photography and all things that move my love for life! I’ve ran 3 full marathons, with a PR of 4:25, and 13 half marathons with a PR of 2:01. My latest goals are to focus on getting stronger and faster, and get to work on my e-cookbook. Welcome to my journey!

  3. Running, cooking, writing and photography–a winning combination! Sub-2:00 half-marathon is a lofty goal, good luck but don’t stress. Completing 13.1 is an awesome accomplishment in itself. Have fun with your husband in his first half, and good luck to both of you. I have a sense he’ll be hooked once he crosses the finish line.

  4. Michelle, thanks for the recent follow. I love blogs that combined food and running topics and learn so much from them. The sub-2 hour 1/2 is achievable. I ran 1/2 marathons for about 20 years before I settled in and reached a sub 2-hour goal at age 64. Yours will be much earlier.
