I admire how you are always trying new things on your own, presumably because you don't want to miss out. I need to take inspiration from you..
My favorite place to eat is Captain Curts Down by Midnight Pass and Stickney Point....I've been going to Siesta Key longer than you've been alive...it's my paradise
The Siesta Key drum circle is an experience you should not miss. Literally hundreds of people drumming ,dancing, Juggling, and having a great time at sunset. So much fun. Also another fun place to eat is the Siesta Ket Oyster Bar. A nice funky place with great food and live music. P.S.... I have lived in Sarasota since 1974 and I absolutely love living here.
Another entertaining video Kelly! Good job, it looks like a beautiful beach. Keep up the good work🌞🌴🏖️
1:30 what an odd way to greet someone 😐 Stellar sunset Kelly. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ✌️
Nice "veelog" Kelly 🤣, thanks for sharing! I am a bit jealous of the November (October?) beach life as I cannot get warm today up here in VT. Enjoy the warmth and those ocean waves! 🌊🌊
Siesta key oyster bar or just SKOB. local hang out.
I really enjoyed your wonderful video. Such a beautiful beach. My sister and I vacation in Florida every year and do at least one run plus a few walks on the beach. It is my favorite thing to do while we are there. I pray your training goes well for the 50k.
That’s my kind of day!! Living your best life girl❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why did that guy asked if you live in a van that's weird stay safe out there
Seeing the ocean sunset in your beach videos are really beautiful. I’d love to go to down to Florida and float the springs and visit the beaches someday.
Hello Kelly, check out Lido Key as well. It is extremely beautiful and near Sarasota.
Too many people. But still a nice beach. I do that all the time with my car, thinking I’ve forgotten to lock it.
Check out Mt. Dora, FL - there is some elevation there. Cyclists train there. If you make it to Mt. Dora, Jeremiahs has great food, love their chicken Caesar salad. Good luck!!
I am living my outdoorsy life vicariously through you. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Can't be the best beach...there's no "Kelly Hays Surfs!" 🏄🏼♀️😂
Thank you for the amazing sunset!! So beautiful.
Great video. Keep them coming for us folks in colder climates up north to so we can escape the cold for a few minutes now and then over the winter.
Very well put together video Kelly I guarantee you are the most gorgeous girl there at the beach.😍

Now that's a wonderful life. You should be a commercial for Florida. I hope you get home for Thanksgiving and enjoy your family. What do Star fruit taste like? I was always afraid to buy one. Stay happy and positive and keep on running.
Thank you David!!! Hmmmmm star fruit reminds me maybe kind of an apple texture. It’s pretty unique
😳 the dude showing up scared Mr too. 🤣 I jumped a little. That beach and the food there is definitely top on the list of my favorite places.
Beach-visit videos spark the good-time vibes. Appreciated! The run you spoke of seems like an ambitious endeavor.
"Seven miles, see, Proof!" (Shows milage counter) oh my so funny. As if you need to show proof. After all the hardcore stuff you've managed to accomplish over the years. We need proof. Ha. Too cool, funny. P.S. more and more Florida girl
I have been watching your channel for a long time. Keep it going!🎉🎉🎉🎉
According to Dr. Beach the #1 beach in the country is St. George Island State Park in the panhandle of Florida...and its beautiful
Siesta key summer house
Another great video, t thanks for the ride and best wishes for great training.
Thanks for all your hearts! Appreciate your reply's❤
Sunday evening on Siesta Key a bunch of percussion musicians do a “ DRUM CIRCLE “ you have to experience. You don’t go to , listen , to the vibe , you go to , feel , the vibe . Everyone should participate, anyway you feel it . I’ll definitely take some kind of percussion instrument next time I’m there . Put it on your bucket list .
Gulf Gate Drive, Siesta Key.. Tony's Chicago Beef!!! ❤❤❤
You should make a calender with all your beautiful scenic shots also include several with your pose!!!❤😂
HELLO KELLY,
ITS RAING HERE IN KANSAS ⛈️🌧🌨🌩⛈️🌧🌨🌩⛈️🌧🌨🌩🌧⛈️.BE SAFE OUTHERE.
❤ you are amazing and strong! Please stay safe out there. That guy in the beginning was very creepy! Sarasota is my favorite place in Florida! Save me from Oklahoma 😂😂
Great video. Sort of reminds me of the two years I took off and lived in Mexico Beach. Be careful of your surroundings.
Ugh I can’t wait until my life journey brings me to the East Coast (and I prefer gulf shores over the East side). Have a blast and thanks for sharing.
7 mi is more than a 10k. Good job!
Nice video and you always need to show the food!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤣 Gorgeous sunset!
I love kayaking that’s my most favorite thing to do when I was living in Washington state
I was just there yesterday and Friday. I do your run all the time but as a walk and usually stick around for the sunset. Does that 7 miles include the run back to your car to lock it? I didn't realize I was walking so far. That parking lot fills up on weekends during the peak season and there are entire weeks that you can't park there every day. Looks like you were there just before the Siesta Key Sand Classic kicked off.
There's a place around here called Celery Fields which is a slag pile from dredging activity but it may provide the elevation you are looking for. There is likely something closer to you, though. You also might enjoy Anna Maria Island for a beach run. End to End is 8 miles and there is a free shuttle but it will be hard to park there soon. And there's also Robinson Preserve for hiking and kayaking and South Lido for kayaking.
Wife’s from Sarasota - great memories of the white sand and sunsets at Siesta Key. Recommend Salty Dog - even saw one at min10:29 in you video.
Ever Try Boca? At The End Of Gasparilla Is?
Hi Kelly the Scenery is Beautiful Awesome Amazing love that Beach ❤😊
Ok, I am super excited you are doing an ultra. I often thought watching your hikes you could nail a 50k. I've completed one 50k, had to drop out of another at 18 miles with severe leg cramps. I am just getting the bug to do another. The thing I love about them is you get to explore new trails that someone else has blazed and marked, and the people are just the best, you will find another tribe, I am sure. Get the vert in! I did not do enough and that's what killed my second one. Will you be sharing which one you are doing? BTW I think "van" guy was trying to flirt with you. Awkward.
Good relaxing video, 🤓👍 tacos 🌮
Taco Jalisco, Texaco Gas Station, Siesta Key and Route 41. ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Great video!!!😊👍👏🏻❤️
Siesta Key is one of my favorite places in Florida. Love that beach. I like The Hub for lunch there. For a nice dinner, drive down the key to Ophelia’s. If you want to spend some time in the area, hop over to St Armand’s Circle, grab some ice cream at Kilwin’s and dinner on Longboat Key at Dry Dock Waterfront Grill. I worked at Dry Dock back in the 90’s right after college. The Old Salty Dog on Longboat is the one I used to frequent. It is by Mote Marine, which is worth a visit. And if you are hungry for pizza, back on 41 in Sarasota is Demetrio’s. A decent pie. Of course, my disclaimer is that I don’t get down there as much as I used to, even though I live in Florida now. Spend more time now in Cocoa and especially New Smyrna, as it is closer to where I live.
Eh, I hate restaurants. Supporting all that overhead and the infrastructure! I like a can of good wild sardines and chili sauce, chiciones and asagio cheese wedge for like $3. Just tip money for a 15$ high carb doober.
Siesta is ok. Love Beach FL is much better. Clear caribe water and few people. My base is port Charlotte no beach
Another beautiful video. I’m looking forward to learning more about the ultra run.
I watched a thru hiker named Ultra Hiking Girl, when she accomplished the AT. She took that trail name because she is an ultra runner. You may be interested in checking her out.
Some time after the AT, she did a 100 mile ultra run.
That is a great beach. I like it there.
I use to do sunrise on the east coast with breakfast then sunset on the west coast with dinner and live music.
By the way that guy was creepy. He shouldn’t have walked up on you like that.
I have a feeling you are up to something really big.
Go 2 to 3 miles south to Turtle Beach and Turtle Beach Campground. Small campground. Difficult to get a spot but I liked the beach there even better than Siesta Beach. Met some great folks there and even went skinny dipping after dark with a nice lady friend I met.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 7 MILES RUN 🏃♀️ 👏.
LOOKS LIKE THE SEA GULLS WHERE WAITING FOR SOME FISH 🐟 FROM THE FISHERMAN.
A star fruit, how interesting. Never heard of that before, looked bizarre. Train at altitude, sounds like the Grouse Grind. [you run up the side of a mountain just shy of 3000 stairs with an incredible 800 m elevation gain over only 3 km, 'mother natures stairmaster']
Only the best beach voted by one organization. If you want a beach just as beautiful try St George Island. It’s voted the best by another survey! Imagine the beach where you are without the people!
Next time to Sarasota maybe check out lido key.. Bring your kayak they have mangrove trails..
Fantastic episode my friend, gorgeous scenery 👏👏
Nice one! Happy Thanksgiving K ! ( beach too crowded for me…need 4 wheel drive till no one around ) 🤠
Beauty sunset! Living your best life Kelly! 👍
I’m across the state and the only elevation I can find is our bridge over the intracoastal waterway that connects our city to the island. The big bummer is the traffic - it’s elevation that comes with exhaust fumes. If you’ve never been in Florida during “season,” prepare yourself!
I lived in the Destin …Ft.Walton Beach area …. Our beaches aren’t to shabby.
Welcome back
I really enjoyed this video. I love the beach and all your beach videos. I've never been to the Gulf Side of Florida I've only been to Daytona Beach. The water was really warm there. Is the water colder on the Gulf Side?
B-logging 😅
I am envying you so much! I have zero desire to do any kind of marathon, but I have tons of desire for Siesta Key. I've long wanted to see it, and now i have! Thanks.
Siesta is a very nice beach! our waters all along that coast and even Tampa Bay get really clean and clear in the winter months. Oh, and those shrimp tacos looked soooooooo good!!! I'm gonna have to check that place out for sure! 🙂
Gulf Gate Drive, Screaming Goat. ❤❤❤
That guy coming up to you gave me the creeps. His convo wasn’t good vibes.
I live 2 miles from siesta key. I walk to the beach and walk the whole beach at sunset a few times a week. Next time you're here if you like crab legs try Monks steam bar in gulfgate. Just down the street from the beach
That guy that came up to her asking if she lived in herbal startled me too. What an idiot. Lol ❤❤❤
Kudos for that sunset- you brought me back to a time years ago with your comment about a side pain! I used to run in trail running races. Often times I would get a side pain in the first or second mile. It got to where I would actually anticipate them and would just ignore them until they went away. They always went away after a mile or two. Good luck Kelly!
Good luck with your training and your 50K race!
Another awesome video! You look amazing in that hat with the sun on your face.
You so adorable 😂. The world love you ❕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Longboat key is my favorite beach on the west coast of florida
Wow! You look so goregous in that evening sunset❤ God surely was on point creating the female❤
Calm down Walter.
Wow, best of luck on running the Ultra! 😊
Oh yeah raise funds for your adventures😊
You are truly an ambasador for Florida! Makes me want to travel there more with every video you post! 🌞😎🏖
That was a really beautiful long day at the beach. Also, really enjoyed the aerial shots at the end. You are awesome 👏.
What a great day running and relaxing at the beach! The sunset was magical. Hope you will have a chance to try star fruit and chicken foot salad. Thank you so much for sharing!
What is that?!?
@@kellyhays23the main ingredients are star fruit and chicken feet 😂
Fantastic video to start the morning. Thanks for sharing
The Hub is our favorite place to eat in Siesta Key.
You're just awesome. It would be great to be in FLA but in MI. 🥶 Thanks for the warm views! 🌶🌶
I take it you enjoy some spicy food. Love all sorts of tacos myself. I hope your marathon goes great! Thank you again!
eat more bacon, show more hooters, thankyou
Eyyy!!! 🎶 Heart of the lion 🎶 your a Legend 💯
Another great video, Thanks
Another awesome video!! 🙂
Clermont has hills.
Siesta Key is great as long as there is no red tide....
did SOMEBODY get a drone? Those elevation shots were awesome!
I’ve had it for about a year now! & Thanks!
The Old Salty Dog Siesta Key
Excellent vids! Thanks
Oh my gosh, those shrimp tacos looked sooooo good!😮
Love u kel so beautiful!!!❤❤❤
Apparently, that guy thinks it's the number one beach to meet cute girls at!
Don't know about that but Kelly has actually slept in her car before. Was it Crystal River? Same car?
That place is gorgeous
I love the Pinhoti cap!!
It looks like your are having fun! What kind of protein shake were you drinking after your run?
Fair life
Are you going to do the CDT? I love your hiking videos
Announcement on my next hike coming soon :)
Walts Fish House!
