To many, Thanksgiving means stuffing their gullet full of tasty fare and then falling asleep on the couch before having a chance to wipe the whipped cream from their face. But here at Marin Breakfastklub Runners, Thanksgiving means a good early morning run. And what's better than running alone on Thanksgiving morning? That’s right, it's …

I recently ran into a friend who had been training for a full Ironman event. We chatted for a minute to catch up and of course I asked him about his training for the race. He confessed that he'd decided that he was not going to be able to do the race due to some …

I've been running in races of varying distances since 1999 which I've decided, makes me an expert on how to put on a good race. Based on some entertaining musings during yesterday's race, here's how things would go in "Keli's Super Awesome Best Marathon Ever". Hills (duh) Lots of them. Big hills, little hills and …
I ran the Wipro SF Half Marathon yesterday. It landed on Father's Day and normally I wouldn't plan to be gone on such an important day but I figured a healthy and happy wife is probably the greatest gift I could give Brad so off I went. This race is actually a marathon but they …

So I get asked a lot about my running. What I'm training for, where I'm running, how far I'm running. One gal even asked me if I was the person she sees running by her house all the time. I recently joined up with a running blog community and someone wanted to know something that …
I've been training for a half-marathon since mid-March. Originally my little group had planned to run a new race in the wine country but about a month ago they cancelled the race. It's kind of lame to cancel a race, in my opinion, but they didn't ask and there you go. This left our running …
I am an early bird. I like to get up early (some say obscenely early) so I can have an hour of quiet time. I drink coffee, watch trashy reality tv, check emails and get some paperwork out of the way before I teach class at 5:30am or go for my run. While getting up …
When training for a race, each of your training runs serves a purpose. My training plan has an easy run, run at race pace, long run (at a slower pace) and then the beloved recovery run. The recovery run is the one component I used to consider optional. For the past few years I've learned …
On this lovely Easter morning I needed to go on a run. I spent all of Saturday at a volleyball tournament - and when I say all day, I mean it. We left the house at 6:30am and did not get home until just before 8pm. What normally happens at these tournaments is the girls …
