What is one resolution last year that you did not fulfill?
Melissa: I've been trying to fulfill this goal for the last 2 years - I've been trying to do a sub 4-hour marathon, and I haven't done it yet, but I am hoping to do that this year.
Which marathons have you signed up for this year?
Melissa: I've currently signed up for two full marathons so far, which are the Nagoya Marathon and Sydney Marathon.
One word to describe your 2023 and why?
Melissa: "Fulfulling", because I've done quite a lot of races and I've also climbed a few mountains, both of which are things I really enjoy and both of which also help me to improve my fitness and improve my mental strength as a person as well.
In the next 3 years, how do you want to grow and what do you want to learn?
Melissa: I hope to become a better run, and I hope to explore more of the world - be it through hikes or runs overseas. I need to learn how to take better care of myself as well, as we grow older we need to have proper self care and so far I think I've done a good job but there is plenty more to learn.
What kind of people do you get your energy from?
Melissa: People who are like-minded who enjoy doing spontaenous things, likely people who enjoy running, gymming and hiking - those are the kind of people I get my energy from.
What is your favourite hobby outside of sport?
Melissa: My favourite hobby outside of sports would be to make videos. Things that resonate with other people, those are things I really like.
