A little about me.
Michele Hartwig, Founder and Race Director of Ornery Mule Racing.
I love running trails, eating healthy, and working on being the best athlete that I can be. This has not come easy to me. I spent years not making time for myself. I have worked hard on my fitness journey and I am now feeling my healthiest. This work has resulted in a significant weight loss, but the most important thing is I feel good and my life changes fit my schedule. Cooking has always been something I have enjoyed. During this journey I have worked to create easy healthy food that fuels my body well.
I also have a passion for my two adorable cats, family, getting artsy tattoos, volunteering to support outdoor space, and sometimes dressing up in comfortable & sporty pretty clothes. I enjoy learning about great skin care, and love watching makeup tutorial videos then trying to do it on myself. This is a new artistic things I have been learning.
This is my written and YouTube journal of me me talking about all of the above! Thank you for being a part of my journey!
