So I guess I'm into yoga now. In full disclosure I've only been "practicing" for a week. See, this is cool. You don't 'do' yoga, you practice it. And you can bet your asanas (that means poses) that I quickly and painfully found out how much I needed to practice. Since I'm a runner who doesn't stretch I thought …

Here's a Project Brad Update. Brad and I went shopping over the weekend. There was a sale at the Men's Wearhouse and he needed some new dress shirts for work. Brad's old school and still wears a suit and tie to work every day. It's one of the things I love about him. But let's …

Trailing on the Trails
Here's a brief wrap up of the Rodeo Valley Trail Run I ran over the weekend. The race included an 8K, Half Marathon, 30K and 50K. My pal Stephanie found this race and we thought it would be a fun thing to do. Stephanie was looking for a milestone and I thought it would be …

As I've written about in the past, I started running, really running, with Team in Training back in December, 2000 when my daughter was just 13 months old.

Goal-Focused Training
If I'm not training for an event my workout intensity drops dramatically. Now that doesn't mean I stop exercising but I'll be the first to admit that my weekday runs will drop from 5 or 6 miles to 3 or 4. And if I can get in more than a 6 miler on a Sunday …
Adventures in Trail Running
A few weeks back I wrote about a trail adventure that my pal Stephanie and I had on the hills above our neighborhood. A wrong turn turned led us on a very confused run. On the plus side we did manage to go eke out 10 miles as we ambled. But we finished the run …
Another Reason to Take the Stairs
Here's a fun fact, courtesy of the IDEA Fitness Journal, June 2016. "For every flight of stairs climbed daily, brain age decreases by 0.58 years" Now go run! Keli 🙂
Race Report
I ran in the inaugural Bank of Marin Running Festival over the weekend and was put on by Titanium Racing. Overall it was a very well-organized race and the course was pretty. When registering there was a choice of the 5K, 10K, or half marathon. I wasn't up to the mileage to comfortably tackle the …
