Unlocking the Power of Morning Runs. How to Kickstart Your Day with Energy and Vitality
Hey there, busy ladies! Are you ready to seize the day and make the most out of every moment? If you’re nodding along, then you’re
Welcome to my corner of the internet!
I’m Melinda, and I’m so thrilled to have you here.
As a mom juggling the whirlwind of family life and a full-time career as an assistant principal, finding balance has always been my top priority. But amidst the chaos of daily life, I discovered a passion that would change everything: running.
In 2022, I laced up my sneakers and hit the pavement, embarking on a journey that would lead me to places I never imagined. With sheer determination and a sprinkle of stubbornness, I set my sights on the ultimate goal: running the NYC marathon.
Through countless miles, sweat-soaked shirts, and yes, a few tears along the way, I poured my heart and soul into training for that first marathon. And when race day finally arrived, crossing that finish line was a moment I’ll never forget—a testament to the power of perseverance and the strength that lies within each of us.
But my journey didn’t stop there. Buoyed by the euphoria of that first marathon finish, I set my sights on new challenges and bigger goals. With the guidance of my running coach, I’m currently training for my second NYC marathon, pushing my limits and discovering new depths of resilience with every step.
Outside of the running world, I wear many hats, including that of a wedding and branding photographer. Capturing life’s most precious moments behind the lens is a passion that fills my heart with joy and gratitude.
Through this blog, I aim to share my experiences, insights, and lessons learned on my journey to incorporate running into my busy lifestyle. Whether you’re a fellow mom, a working professional, or simply someone looking to prioritize your health and wellness, I’m here to inspire and empower you to lace up your sneakers and chase after your dreams—no matter how daunting they may seem.
So join me as we navigate the twists and turns of life, one stride at a time. Together, we’ll embrace the highs and lows, celebrate the victories, and support each other through the challenges. Because when we come together as a community, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.
Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to embark on this incredible journey with you.
Warmest wishes,
Melinda
