The Novice Athlete is a collection of stories, photos, articles and other resources about outdoor recreation, fitness and health.
I am launching this site on the first day of 2009, as part of my new year’s resolution to cross-train and get outdoors. As a brand-new site, it currently lacks much content, but that will soon change.
It’s not about me, I am just a catalyst. This site will develop and grow with your input, articles, guest blog posts and advice.
Mission
To educate, inspire and entertain other health-minded people while developing my own athleticism.
About the Author, Melinda McCrady-Duran
I am a 33-year-old woman with limited coordination, grace and just a bit of athletic experience. My history of awkward, clumsy attempts at sports will no longer stop me from trying new things.
