Two work-from-home parents, two sweet young daughters, one treadmill (often used late at night), several family hikes, and one visiting chicken\\u2014yes, a real one.

This is a snapshot of Kelly Yauk\\u2019s pandemic quarantine life these past few months. You\\u2019ll remember Kelly as the hilarious guest who has talked on the show in the past about her passion for themed runs and destination racing adventures. Kelly also has been a Team MRG Ragnar Relay member and during last fall\\u2019s road edition formed a team made up of her former Michigan State University rowing teammates.

Kelly, who is a marketing manager at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, shares what life has been like while juggling a full-time job that\\u2019s gone remote with full-on parenting duties with her real estate agent and writer husband Chris, who also has been working from their Traverse City home. Kelly has had to get creative with her workout schedule, too. Thankfully, she\\u2019s always enjoyed her treadmill \\u2013 these days, she finds herself squeezing in the miles later at night. She shares the races she won\\u2019t be running this summer and early fall because of COVID-19, but she says plans are moving ahead with this November\\u2019s annual Great Beerd Run, now in its 7th year, at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. This event coincides with Traverse City Beer Week. \\xa0

As for the visiting chicken \\u2026 she, of course, has a funny story about that.
