Welcome to "The Running Spoon"

My name is Kelly and I am originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina. A 90s child, I grew up with your average lifestyle - enjoying cartoons, fruity pebbles, and a whole lot of time outside. I was very active in sports and played soccer for most of my life. I had an ankle injury which sidelined my ability to play contact sports, which got me into swimming and eventually, running. While I did play one season of soccer for my high school team, I spent all four years running cross country. This sparked my love of running.

I always had an interest in exercise and nutrition, and completed my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science. I spent almost 10 years working with a non profit providing wellness coaching and working with special populations. I completed my MBA in 2023 and now work as an Executive Director.

My husband and I were "set up" for New Year's in 2014 (going into 2015) and married in August of 2017. We've lived in Atlanta and recently welcomed our daughter, Sylvie.

So, follow along as I navigate motherhood and balancing my own health and well-being, and share any helpful finds along the journey!
