Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a 22 year old with a love for running, fitness, and sharing my passion for wellness with others.
I developed my indescribable love for the health community during my four years at University of Maryland, and now after graduating from the best school in the nation, I am excited to continue following my passion for fitness as I enter the “real world.”
I hope you take the time to read My Heart and Hamstrings as it is a glimpse into my crazy, joyous, busy, whirlwind, fantastic, breathtaking life alongside my handsome husband and crazy pup.

My Heart and Hamstrings 
[…] About Me […]
Hi! Love that you put this website together. I have been a runner since the age of 7 when I ran my first race and won my first trophy. Considering I am now 44, that is a good long time. Every day starts with a run, and many days end with one. I proudly have 3 children who all have or are currently members of their school’s Cross Country team. I have completed 3 Full Marathons and wish you the best on yours.
I always say (but didn’t know it until my daughter actually pointed it out to me) that “Distance runners are just a different kind of people.”
Many smiles,
Leslie DeLain
