About Michelle

I am a newly married twenty something year-old and live in St. Louis, Missouri.  I have been running recreationally for a few years now, and have completed four half marathons and one full marathon.  Sometimes I run with my Weimaraner Ada, who is a frequent guest on the blog.

I used to chase ambulances professionally – I was a lawyer (including personal injury), but as you can see from the blog name, I never had a problem taking myself too seriously.   After deciding I wanted to make a career out of writing and not out of making everyone pissed off (but seriously, there were a lot of reasons), I moved on.  That was in 2008-2009.  I am now a technical writer at a large St. Louis-based company.

I like writing about healthy living, unhealthy living, food, and fitness.  Follow me along while I write about these things here at chasingambulances!
