Keli’s Super Fun Super Bowl Fun Run

I don't really care who's playing in the Super Bowl, but it is a great excuse to hang out with friends, have a few beers and nosh on some tasty nibbles. It's also a great excuse to start the day off with a run!  And since I am going to go for a run, why …

Weathering the Weather

These rainy days have me feeling a certain kind of way.  A little sluggish, a little blah, a little meh.  Bleh.    As we have settled into the cellar of Winter I sometimes find it more challenging to drag myself out into a dark and rainy morning to exercise. If you are also having some difficulty …

Natural Progression

A lot of runners think that the natural progression in running is a marathon. Listen, I've done 9 of them and while I am not a natural runner; neither fast, lithe or graceful, I can do the distance.  And while I may be proud of my 4:29 PR back in 2007 at the NY Marathon, …

New Year Hype is Here

As the great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once shared in a presentation; a resolution is actually a confession. Think about it.  A resolution to lose weight is confessing that you are out of control of your eating.  A resolution to get organized is a confession that you don't have a handle on your life; paperwork, …

Tune Out Tech

I don't know about you but I find myself a little too plugged in.  My smartphone is often close by and I spend a lot of time scrolling through my FB feed or checking email when there's a lull in the checkout line, before a movie starts or even sitting on the couch with my …

Most Sundays we'll hit the trails for runs of varying distances; between 6-8 miles.  And we'll also introduce Adventure Trail Runs. The Adventure Trail Runs will be more of an exploration …

You. Improved.

I wanted to share something profound with you as we run full-steam into 2016.  Unfortunately, I ran full-steam into some writer's block so all I could come up with is this.  You are the driver of the bus.  You hold the key to the kingdom.  You run this show.  And the only thing stopping you …

Cheers To You!

I just returned from my last run of 2015. Funnily enough it was the exact same run I did the first day of 2015.  Talk about coming full circle. I know everyone and their mother are posting about resolutions for the new year.  And while we all know I'm a huge fan of setting goals, I also …

A Year in Review – 2015

Overall, 2015 was a good year!  Sure, there were hiccups and some challenges, but that's life.  And since I'm a glass-half-full kind of gal I thought I'd share some of my "greatest hits" of the year.  New Year's Day Run - This annual run is a one-person event that takes place in Pismo Beach.  While …
