If you’re a new-ish reader, HI! I started 30-something Therapy in 2011 when I retired (and happily deleted!) a ten-year old blog. I’m playing along with blogger Angelica from Gardening in High Heels in the Blogger, May I? month of blogging.

So if you are new here, I’m Mel from Pittsburgh. I moved here five years ago from Cleveland. Obviously, I’m a 30-something (hence the title, which I’ll get into in another post prompt this month). I blog about health and wellness mostly, with a new-found love of running. I played roller derby for four-point-five years and retired this past September because of a new job, finishing my last year in school and, frankly, burnout.

More about me (and what I blog about): I drink coffee every day. I’m gluten-free and nightshade-free. I have a serious crush on maple syrup (and a little trouble in the sweet tooth area). I hope to read 52 books this year. I read mostly non-fiction (and a lot of school textbooks). I run, I do CrossFit, I practice yoga… I’m learning how to meditate. I’d like to get back into spinning. I listen to podcasts. I walk to work. I work for a non-profit. I go to school full-time. Three rescue cats lovingly found their way into my home. My boyfriend and I have been together for six years. And we have a really old rowhouse. I love camping. I don’t mind winter! I really just like being outside and being active. And I’m a sucker for a good traveling adventure.

Tell me about YOU in the comments!
