ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
I’m going to RUN my FIRST RACE evvvAH!!
With minimal training I have decided to run the VASQUE TRIPLE LAKES TRAIL RACE half marathon!! Totally excited. Has anyone ran this race before??!! I’d love to know details!!
ACTUALLY I’d like to know ANYTHING about running a HALF MARATHON–and I think most of this is on trails..
———————————————————————————————————————
My birthday is coming up so I found it appropriate to buy myself these shoes as an early birthday gift–the gift of a healthy + active lifestyle!!
I know I know–I just bought the VIBRAM KSOs —But these are different!! These are the VIBRAM SPRINTs!!
I love my KSOs for the trail to keep sand + rocks out–but for street running these are so much easier to put on + GO!
AND I LOVE the adjustable heel straps. The only thing blah about my KSOs is that the right heel bothers me sometimes + there is nothing I can do about it —now I can!!
We ran for almost an hour + a half–Do you think Penny!! is going to make it??
She looks a little beat to me!!
With only an hour before yoga I whipped up this little electrolyte balanced concoction–
- H2O melon
- Celtic Mineral Sea Salt
- Banana
- ARTISANA cacao coconut butter!!
- Shredded fancy coconut
Now I YOGA with ALLISON!!
Cheers!!

oh my goodness!!! so exciting. yayyY!!!
and. those are some awesome shoes.
everyone raves about vibrams. i feel like i should give them a go or something. plus they look crazy!
HAHA! look at that tongue.
Congrats!
Congrats on signing up for the race and the new shoe find! Penny looks pleasantly exhausted,I bet she secretly loved it!
congrats on signing up!
i’ll just say that trail runs are totally different than running on the road. I ran a trail 10K in June and i thought I was going to die a few times,but running 6 miles on the road was fine. Definitely try running on a trail a few times before hand to get used to it!
Thats wonderful Kelsey! This half marathon sounds totally fitting for you. For some reason,a trail race just screams Kelsey in my mind.
I’m running my first 1/2 in September. I’ve been training for about a year but I’m still so nervous about it. Racing is so incredible though. You go into it scared as hell and then after you finish,you are signing up for the next one.
When is the race? Good luck girl!
Hi! I am new to yor blog and wow I have never seen shoes like that before! That is something that I would totally wear,good lck on the first race
!
EYE need those weird sock/feet/shoes things. I know I bashed them at first…but I might just have to break and buy them. Wish I was here to run it with you…errrrrrr!!! p.s. you are seriously NUTs…1.5hrs of running after 1.25hrs yesterday and yoga after on both days????? You leave me perplexed.
YAY!! Congrats on signing up for the race!!
Those shoes crack me up!
I just signed up for my first half marathon too! You are in much better shape than me though,with your hour+ run,I can barely run 20minutes now!
Hahah I didn’t get your comments until post yoga! yes,you can def run a half by October–it sounds like you are on runner’s high every time you go out for a run! Just don’t overdo it too fast,you’ll be just fine.
Thank you SO much for your encouragement tonight-I can’t believe I did some crazy unpleasant version of wheel!! Thank you!
Congrats on signing up for the race. I’m impressed that you can just dive right in–awesome! Can’t wait to read about your training.
Mine is is March,so I have more time to train than you,but I am kind of geeking out!
that’s so awesome that you’re going to do a race. good luck and congrats!
penny looks too cute in that picture!
I don’t know which vibrams to get now!???!!!
OMG,I’m dying about Penny’s tongue on the floor! She is adorable!
I’m interested in seeing a picture of those shoes on the foot and in action. Crazy fun!!

Ohhh good luck at your first race–that’s something I don’t think I’ll ever do. It would be like torture lol!
So here’s what I have to know…how do your feet not kill you after running in those? I’m one of those “heel slammer”people and I get the feeling that my knees and back would be a mess after running in those bad boys.
Congrat’s on singing up for you first race! And happy early birthday!!! OK those shoes are CRA-ZAY wow! I don’t think my knees could handle them but I love the way you rock things!
