Calling all runners: My fellow BibRave Pros and I are starting up a Strava run streak for the month of May! My longest streak ever is just 9 days, so I'm looking forward to knocking that out of the park. The only requirement is that you get at least a mile in every day (even walking counts!).
This Week in Running – Going to Kentucky, I’ll have a mint julep
Last I checked in, I had finished up the Ville to Ville Relay (here's my recap). My 25 mile sufferfest closed out a 38.4 mile week, which is by far my highest mileage since November. I learned something though, 25 miles is definitely 25 miles, no matter how you slice it up. I rested for …

Ville to Ville Relay Recap -What’s Gonna Work? Team Work!
I'm back to using words to say hello again, since I'm running out of clever gifs or memes to use. So, hello. My post title comes from a kid's show that Kayli used to love.

If it’s not on Strava, did it even Happen?
We live in magical times when it comes to technology. We aren't quite The Jetsons yet, but we do have it pretty good. There's an app for everything. I'm going to introduce you to an app to help you track your active lifestyles, though many of you know ALL about it (not you, Brenton). I'm talkin' bout Strava, man.
