Meet Melody Owens

Hi, my name is Melody Owens. I am 44 years old and a mother of three.... if you count my husband, Frank, who is my biggest kid! I have a daughter Amanda (19) and son Frankie (16).

I started running and working out again just over a year ago. I weighed the most I ever had in my life and I didn't like how it made me feel! I started running a mile at a time and have slowly worked my way up eight miles. I run because I love it! It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it! I lost the weight I wanted and feel so much better.

I was thrilled to be asked to run the Ragnar with all of you amazing ladies. I don't know all of you, but know that I will get to know you REAL well, because of this opportunity. I started running again, so I could surprise my younger sister, Barbara, and run with her when we see each other again. We don't see each other very often, because she lives in South Carolina. She runs every day and has completed at least one marathon, that I know of, the New York Marathon. To this day, she does not know that I have been running! I look forward to the day when we will be able to run together.

Running the Ragnar will be a challenge, but I look forward to it. With the support of my Heavenly Father, family and you wonderful ladies, I will be able to accomplish my goal and complete my leg successfully.

We can do it! GO BLISTER SISTERS!
