After injuring my lower back by deadlifting a large box of decorations (tip - bend your knees), I began my running streak aiming to run 1 mile daily from December 3-31. As I've learned from previous December streaks, I don't always have time during my regular workouts to get that mile in, so I will …

The November Challenge: Movement
Yesterday we completed the Nutrition Challenge (and we'll unpack that challenge later this week), but today we kick off our November Challenge, where we'll tackle movement. It's the simplest of all challenges; your goal is to do some intentional movement/activity for 30 minutes daily. Take a 30- minute strength class, walk, do three 10-minute walks, …
My 30-Day Running Streak
I'm 10 days into a 30-day running challenge. The purpose was to jump-start me back into my running after being sick for almost 6 weeks. Now let's be *very* clear. My "bar" on this is not very high. The rule of my challenge is to run at least 1 mile every day, no matter what. …
Breathing Easy and Back To It
View from the Sun Trail - photo by K. Honsberger I'll spare you the details but suffice it to say, it's been a crappy 4 weeks of just not feeling good. And the cough. Oh my, the cough. I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with whooping cough. It took 5 days of …
Training Update
My race (now virtual) is on Sunday, October 3rd and this past weekend I ran 8 miles. 8.19 to be exact. My goal was to get a 9 miler under my belt before the race but at this point, going from 8 to 10 miles isn't a huge push. It might not be the prettiest …
10 Things I Love About My Peloton
I've had my Peloton since August 11th. Well, now it's "the family's Peloton" - we all have accounts and when I come home from teaching boot-camp there's usually a Honsberger family member's tuchus parked on it. Since I posted about my love affair with my Peloton a lot of people have asked me about it. …
Is a Virtual Race In Your Future?
2020 was kind of a bust as far as competing in races. Most events were flat-out canceled and others transitioned to a virtual event. My cousin's husband was scheduled to run the London Marathon last year and it was postponed not once, but twice and then it went virtual. His course consisted of large loops …
The January 1st Challenge
Ok, here's the deal. I want you to launch yourself into 2021 with a purpose and an intention that you're moving your fitness goals to the top of your to-do list. The Challenge: Run, walk, or hike 2.1 miles on January 1st. Yeah, I know. It's not a long distance and you could probably do …
Workout Rule #3
Performance-based goals are deciding to run a race with a time goal, wanting to swim a mile, beat your time when you hike a specific trail, hit a PR in a dead-lift or do a pull up. When you set a performance-based goal you are taking away any decision about whether or not you want …
Fitness Friday: Keli Runs a Marathon (again)
Today I'll unpack my recent race. It was my 12th marathon and 3rd time running NY and let me tell you, the Big Apple did not disappoint! When you toe up to the starting line for a race, especially anything over the 10K distance, you've spend the past 12, 16 or even 20 weeks training …
