kelly emo's Race Listing

Two weeks into my pulled hamstring doldrums... What's your favorite "I'm injured and can't run" workout? Tonight I did 40 mins on elliptical trainer and some weights but looking for that endorphin rush that only comes with running... suggestions welcome :)

Went for my Tuesday night four mile run and thought about how honored I am to be in the mix with two of the most amazing women runners in the rankings. Hats off to the amazing Barbara Robbin and Scarlett Gilbert... true inspirations! I will miss the awards Friday (commitment with my college daughter) but will acknowledge their achievements here--Congrats, age has no limits!

Coastal Trail Runs this weekend are cancelled due to poor air quality, a good choice on the race director's part. It's still bad in the North Bay and fairly rough in rest of Bay area, take it easy everyone, I'm going to workout indoors this weekend. Good thoughts and prayers going out to all impacted by the fires.

Easy 3 miles.. I think I'm jinxed with Palo Alto double-- two years ago pulled a hamstring and this year caught a rough cold and i'm flying tonight to Tel Aviv, so I decided to sleep in... someday I'll master that race

For a very short time, I was with the 1:10 pace group at the double 8k, but what a great day for a double run in San Juan Bautista. thank you Bob for a great holiday event! Now it's all easy(LSD style) distance till next race on New Year's eve morning, just putting down some gentle recovery miles (3 last night, 5 today) while checking out Christmas lights this week!

two trail 5ks back to back.. gonna feel it tomorrow !

slow and easy.. ahh trail running, after yesterday's 1000 ft climb in a 5k at WildCat, the quads are singing. gotta love the trail runs!

5k trail run with 1 mile warmup and 2 mile cool down.. knees sure are liking the trail runs--dirt is good :)

didn't make it to any races this weekend but logged some decent miles in the rain for training

nice recovery med distance run on the Los Gatos Creek Trail to burn some calories before Super bowl and got to say high to Bob as we passed on the trail today!

Should have run the double run, did a charity run in Campbell instead on Saturday because the cause was important- but they forgot to put anyone at the turnaround and we all ran significantly further than 5k-- Organization matters!

Learned something last week--always double-check that you are indeed entered when you sign up for a race at an Expo. Signed up for Santa Rosa Half at Oakland half expo. Made plans, trained, then came to find out four days before I was never entered. They had lost my entry form. And now the entry fee is way past my threshold. Well,, made the most of it by trashing my quads in the Coast Diablo Mountain 10 miler instead. fun climbing 2900 feet up a gorgeous peak. no harm, no foul but glad I checked before heading to Santa Rosa!
kelly emo 8/29/16 9:25 amI know how you feel. A few years back I trained hard for the Kaiser Half Marathon in SF. I thought I could enter the morning of the race. I could not. First time ever I ran it without a number. Felt guilty but I was already in the city. Like I said, this was a few years back. It sounds like you made the best of things, Kelly. Are you running San Juan Sept 24?
Bob Anderson 8/29/16 2:18 pm not going to make San Juan due to a volleyball tourney... can catch a 5k for Ovarian Cancer in Campbell at 9 then have to head to daughter Lauren's HS... will plan to do Pleasanton however!

Good luck everyone at the Sac 10 miler. Got some insights this weekend, you can run a fast road race the day before a steep trail 10k but not the other way around :) After Grizzly Peak 10k yesterday, (gorgeous run in Berkeley hills but so steep) today's all about a very easy, slow recovery run -- good thing I didn't pre-pay for any races today!
kelly emo 4/3/16 2:00 pmThat's precisely why I did NOT run AR50 this year...50 miles with a killer mountain to climb to get to Auburn finish line is a bit too much 1 day before SacTown 10 miler!!!!! Take care Kelly!!!

Looking forward to trying to keep my daughter Lauren in sight for the double sprint tomorrow. with my late season injuries my pace resembles more the tortoise right now so it will be fun to see how far ahead she can get with those speedy 13 year old legs!

First, thank you Bob for a very fun double 8k event in Palo Alto, hope it stays a regular on the schedule and that next year, I can participate healthy... note to self, when the Achilles barks, listen... luckily I didn't end up with a full blow tear, but rather a hamstring pull that will take less recovery time... Swimming anyone??
kelly emo 7/20/15 10:48 amIt was great seeing you yesterday. I was wondering what happened and I am glad you backed off the second leg. AT issues are worse than hamstrings! Take it easy and I hope to see you in San Jose Aug 22.

Found a new type of "double"--yesterday TBF racing had their annual TBF Tri for fun at 8:30am at Rancho Seco lake, but this year they added a "super sprint triathlon" starting at 8:00am which was only a 200 meter swim, 4 mile bike, 1 mile run. Three of us decided to try to do them both, it was crazy fun.. finished the super sprint in 25:19 and had about 10 minutes to get into a wetsuit and back down to the water for my 8:42 am wave to go for the Sprint tri (800 meter swim, 16mile bike, 3 mile run) fun experiment--Double Tri! -- definitely needed the wetsuit for the second swim however, to catch your breath :)

great to see you too, beautiful day for a local 5k or a long run on the creek trail!
