since Mel can’t sit still for more than 30 seconds at a time, she signs up for events to keep her motivated to work out (maybe her competitive spirit has a little to do with it as well). she tries to only sign up for events that raise money for good causes. let her know if you are ever interested in joining in on ‘the fun-ness’ or know of an event coming up!
