Melissa Kirkham
SoCal
Taking care of business as an office manager and Athleta Community Leader. The free time is filled as a blogger, an ambassador for FitFluential, Fit Approach, Girls Gone Sporty, & Nuun Hydration.
A decision to lose twenty pounds in 2011 allowed Melissa not only to reclaim her health, but helped her find her passion as a runner and athlete. She ran her first half marathon (and six months later a full marathon) in 2012 and completed her #13in2013 challenge of 13 half marathons in 2013. Stepping back from the racing scene, Melissa has shifted from running the streets to running the gym.
