As Winter now makes its final appearance and Spring will begin its season of renewal, I thank Winter for all its peace, beauty, and adventure. And, I especially thank all of those that shared moments of winter with me.

Balance isn’t optional. It’s foundational.
If your balance is weak, your performance will be too. Whether you’re trail running, hiking, biking, or paddling—your body is constantly adjusting, stabilizing, and reacting.

New shoe day! These are probably the prettiest trail runners I have worn. It’s gonna be a shame to get them dirty. Just kidding. It’s gonna be awesome! Looking forward to the trails finally opening up again, after this latest winter blast!
Show me your shoes!

This ongoing storm system is a doozie! Thankful I can safely walk out my back door and enjoy the outdoors during the brief breaks of whiteouts. The system slammed our area with quite a layer of ice before the snows came. Currently, like so many, we have been without power since last night, and hoping it won’t last much longer. Our gratitude and prayers for safety go out to all the line workers, emergency responders, and road crews.

Current situation here in Northern Michigan.
Although the weather is blowing snow, rain, sleet, ice, and more snow today, we know that 🌷 is just around the corner.
Here at Kamie Outdoors, days like this where I find myself homebound, I take the opportunity to dream and create outdoor adventures and activities.
Along with my beginners bikepacking workshop and camp I have open, I am working on a few group ideas.

For now, I will introduce the groups I will offer and collect interest.
As the month progresses I will continue to work on the details and post when ready.
Here are the groups
Please message me, or comment here, if you would be interested in either, or all, of them.
1. Trail Running
2. Gravel Biking
3. Open water swimming

I am also taking clients that would like to take these activities further, such as racing, and want hands-on coaching.

Making the most of the “calm before the storm”
Beautiful sunny day, and a great day to get a double, actually a triple, training day done. Started the morning off with a solid strength training session, followed by a chunky fat bike ride on the WPT, finishing up with a nice 3 mile tempo run. Now, preparing for the storm! Stay safe out there Michigan folks! Especially you UP’ers! 😳

Michigan March; where you can experience snow, mud, sun, sleet, ice and a temperature range from 60-single digits. Sometimes in one week!
Just have to embrace it. Like Freyja 🤎

I’ve been hearing this a lot lately; “isn’t it time to slow down? Take it easy?” I have been taking it easy for the past few years! Focusing on the pure joy of adventure and exploring. But, my love of competing never left, it merely took a much needed time out. Competing against myself, the course, the elements, pushing past comfort, and being a part of an event, is something that sparks life in me, bringing me so much more than I can express adequately. Come along with me, as I share what’s it like to train and compete again, now in my 60’s. I have a feeling it’s gonna be pretty dang amazing.

I have missed competing. Embracing my 60’s I have realized I still have the fire of competition, and am ready to take on new athletic challenges. 2026 will s...

Strong. That’s how I embrace life, and how I’m embracing a new season of adventure.
It doesn’t just happen. You have to work it.
I’m offering a Spring Training program for those who want to begin the season strong.
Realizing that committing to two days a week for six weeks is not always realistic, I am offering the option of committing to one night a week  for those that have time limits and want to get a headstart on summer adventuring; strong.
Sessions are scheduled for Monday and Thursday 6:30-7:30pm.
Choose one night, make the commitment.
Spring Training begins Monday, March 9th
3 spots open
Cost:
$130 for both nights/6 weeks/12 sessions
$65 for one night/6 weeks/6 sessions

My goal is to coach women to achieve increased strength, balance, and flexibility, ready for a summer of adventure.

If you’re interested message me
