Running

Finishing my first full marathon!

My running journey started in August of 2008. I had just started working my first big girl job and needed motivation to get off the couch. In February 2009, I completed my first half marathon. Since then I've added a 10-K, 6 more half marathons and my first full marathon! During that time I've battled IT band issues, motivation issues, hip/pain in the butt issues and the occasional blister.

When I'm not training for a race {aka not running at all because of the Texas heat} I try to stay in shape by taking our dog Maxwell on walks, going to boot camp, practicing yoga or doing the dreaded 30 Day Shred at home. In the beginning, I used this little corner of the internet to keep me accountable and to track my training. It's now become a catch-all for all things Kelly.
