As I shared last week, I was getting ready for our 16 mile run in preparation for the upcoming Big Sur International Marathon. The good news is that I finished the run but it was by far, one of the worst long runs I've had in a looooong time. But like I've said before, sometimes …

This just in…
Running with a buddy can improve your fitness, your time, and provide motivation to stay on your fitness journey. So grab a pal, join a running club, sign up for a charity training program or ask around to find a like-minded person and hit the road! Now go run! Keli 🙂
Prep for Success
The following quote from Runner's World is wildly applicable. Whether you are training for a race, trying to land a better job or working to shed a few pounds. Running is just you, the work you put in, and the clock. You can't cheat yourself. If you don't put in the miles, you can't go …
And This Is What We Think Of
This "Daily Kick in the Butt" comes courtesy of Runner's World. I like it because sometimes we can't fully explain to "non-believers" why we do what we do.

Giving Your All
Achieving a fitness goal is not easy. You will be uncomfortable. You will work hard. You will sweat. You will wonder whose bright idea it was. You will ask yourself and anyone within earshot if it's worth it. We'll just leave that last one as a rhetorical question because we ALL know the answer. Yes, …

Train For A Tri
I volunteered to help put together a training program for a sprint triathlon for a few pals of mine. While levels of fitness and confidence in the group vary the level of enthusiasm is high! I am know that by following our 11-week plan and with the help of my triathlete friends (thanks so much …
Race Day Countdown…
Well here we are! Race day is on Sunday and I think I'm ready. One of the lovely things about the California International Marathon is that it's a net downhill. For those of us who've trained hard and long going up hills, this will be a change of pace. Check out this elevation! To …
