A marathon is a 26.2 mile race.  And most people, when discussing a marathon fixate on the distance. "I could never run that far, I can't even drive that far." "Why would you want to do that to your body?" But the other day I ran into a principal at my son's school and as we …

Forward Motion

I enjoy participating in races.  And it's not the actual "racing" part of it, it's the build up, the training, the lining up to start, the energy.  It's the whole shebang.

Plank Challenge Anyone?

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 …
