Staying in the Game

As an amateur (OK fine,  mature) athlete I don't have endorsements or money riding on my performance.  So if I skip a race or sleep in and miss a 5:30am training run, there's not much that will change.  Other than the size of my butt or my mental health. That's not to diminish, in any …

I think we need a challenge.  I also think a 20 day plank challenge is the ticket.  Even if you've done one of the challenges before and are thinking "C'mon Keli, get creative already", I'm going to bet you a nickle that unless you're in a structured class you're not consistently doing a plank. Planks …

A Savory Breakfast

I love a good, hot breakfast.  And I need something that fills me up and doesn't have me looking for a snack an hour later.  It's also very flexible so you can add or subtract the veggies as you like.  Always use greens though because they provide excellent nutrition and help bulk it up.  Yum! Savory …
