Happy Global Running Day 🏃‍♀️ I’ve be

Happy Global Running Day 🏃‍♀️

I’ve been fortunate to have a running blade since I was in my teens. And while I still struggle to get the perfect fit, I couldn’t imagine life without running.

Right now I’m shifting from road work to trails in preparation for the Speedgoat 50. For most that means switching out their shoes. For me it means, a new foot, tread and alignment!

And while it might not be dialed in just yet, we’re getting there. And I won’t give up on it. Because running has given me too much - my physical health, mental health and a community for life.

And lucky for me, it just keeps giving.

Stay tuned for more season updates and lifestyle hacks to run further, faster, longer.

Defying expectations 🏆 with a personal best and course record at the Boston Marathon finish line in 3:17:56!

They say we slow down with age, but my experience says we get WISER about recovery, nutrition, and mindset. 💪🧠

I broke down exactly how I achieved this in my latest blog post (link in bio) - covering everything from biological age optimization to breathwork techniques that transformed my running.

Age is just a number when you know how to work WITH your body, not against it.

Wow what a day Boston! I seriously couldn’t have

Wow what a day Boston! I seriously couldn’t have asked for more. 💛💙

Official time: 3:17:56! 🦄

My sub-3:20 marathon goal realized. A 13 min 34 sec course record and a 4 min 33 sec personal best. 🥇

From the start I watched as the time ticked by, dialing in my target pace, pleasantly surprised at how effortless it felt, wondering in the back of my mind when the other shoe would drop.

As wave 1 engulfed me around mile 4, I could feel the energy rise and somehow the pace just kept feeling stronger. The Newtons hills came and went, so did Heartbreak hill and even as my quads started to mildly protest, I continued to feel stronger.

The final 3 mile stretch I felt nearly as good as I did at the start, gradually pushing the pace, fueled by the energy of the crowds, finishing strong at a 6:52 pace.

It was a beautiful day and perfect execution, but it took so much more than that. It took the incredible Boston crowds, screaming “Go Kelly” for 26.2 miles. It took the voice of an amazing coach @alex.viada, quietly reminding me to back off the pace when I was feeling so good flying down the first 15 miles. It took a new @ossur running blade gifted through @cafoundation set up with a great socket from @allcareoandp, a fresh pair of @hoka carbon racers from @tovarus_rex, all of the amazing connections I’ve been fortunate to have made through @achillesconnecticut and @achillesboston and @teambaa for making this event possible.

As I reflect on the day, I can’t help but continue to be inspired by all of the amazing para athletes who showed up and left it all on the course @mstockwell01 @tanyakhv @eodpopp @peter.keating7 @markocheseto and former competitors like Bob Hall, winner of the first wheelchair diviso in 1975. Thank you for inspiring me daily!

And now, up next I will be training for the @speedgoatmtnraces Speedgoat 50k. And perhaps another marathon? 🤔 Race ideas welcome! 🙏

There are so many variables that you can’t control, but if you focus on the little things that you can, you’re in charge of how the story unfolds.

Race day is full of unknowns- the weather, the crowds, the point at which you bonk. Regardless, I will show up grateful just to be standing on that iconic starting line.

The rest is still unwritten!

The little things add up. About a year ago I ran a 5k PR in 22:41. That was running all out, literally leaving every ounce of speed and effort I had in me on the track.

Yesterday I went out at about 3/4 effort, holding back so I could save my legs for the marathon on Monday. And still ran a PR by 1 min 19 sec PR.

It’s not about the big things. It’s about the little things. It’s about showing up for yourself every day. Making choices that support your goals even if, in the moment, it would be easier to <insert easier choice> (ie sleep in, get take out, skip the run, stay out late, drink too much).

What are your goals? And what are you doing to support them?

Let’s face it. We all drank the Kool-Aide. Literally. Red Dye 40 and some high fructose corn syrup.

Surprisingly many of us still are, we just don’t know it. What foods are you eating that are full of processed ingredients like dyes, additives, emulsifiers, sugars, fats, and oils?

I was surprised when I started looking at ingredient labels. If you want to start improving your health and performance, this is an easy place to start.

Half Marathon Recap: A Celebration of Resilience

Half Marathon Recap: A Celebration of Resilience

Last Sunday I crossed the finish line at the Vero Beach half marathon, not just as an amputee, but as someone who has learned to embrace every challenge as an opportunity to grow stronger.

The miles weren’t easy. The heat, the humidity and the incessant wind were momentary reminders of the struggles I’ve faced, from being bullied as a kid to redefining what health and movement mean to me. But running has taught me that setbacks don’t define us—our resilience does.

As a a lifestyle and longevity doctor, I talk a lot about how movement is medicine. Today, I practiced what I preach. Training for this race wasn’t just about physical endurance but about nurturing a mindset of possibility. It was about showing myself—and others—that age, circumstances, and challenges don’t have to limit us.

Crossing the finish line, I felt gratitude for my body, my prosthetic leg that carried me through, and my community who cheered me on. This race wasn’t just about running—it was about celebrating what’s possible when we lean into growth, grit, and gratitude.

To my fellow runners, patients, and anyone doubting their potential: keep showing up for yourself. Whether it’s one step, one mile, or one day at a time, you are capable of more than you know.

Here’s to living boldly and proving that limitations are only in the mind. 💪
