Hi, I’m Kelly! Welcome to my blog, where you can find weekly posts about my runs and life beyond them. I found running in 2015, when I somehow talked my cousin into signing up for a half marathon with me. Ever since crossing that first finish line, I have been chasing the next one that I can find at every opportunity.

Here you can find weekly training recaps, where I promise not to complain too much about the weather. As you will read, I love to rope my friends and family into running or biking along with me, and I can sometimes even be talked into heading to the aquatic center for a swim. 

I love to travel for races, so you will also find posts about my many adventures to runs near and far - from New York Road Runners races in New York City to traveling around races, recaps will come after every time I toe a starting line.

You can find me on Instagram and Twitter under the username @GoKellyEli!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy my story.

A gloomy, overcast, humid morning. 3 miles down. Mile 3 chiming in at a 9 minute mile even….. it was a challenge, but I was proud of it. Week 7 already….. race day will be here before we know it! #KZtoNYC #TCSNYCMarathontraining
12 miles in the park with my friendsssss. Thanks for waiting for me guys! It was hot and humid out there today! The kind of day where you grab two cups of water at every aid station, take an extra gel as you run, and are soaked head to toe by the ti
6 miles this morning. Longest weekday run so far. Woke up hungry, so ate a @genucan edge before starting, as I made my way to mom and dads house. I led us thought neighborhood loops, and questioned if I really had time to do 6 miles. The first two
Sunset run to sunrise run. Got my butt out of bed this morning. Body is tired but training miles are logged. #KZtoNYC
