A really hard double has peaked my interest for years and this year I dabbled with the idea months before UTMB. I thought it would be interesting and a fun experiment to see what I can handle both mentally and physically. I have dreams to partake in journeys that last much more than a 100 […]
I had a wonderful time in the alps. Here’s some great footage thanks to Bob & Debbie Loomis. Happy to be able to share my experience with you. Looking forward to sharing more with you soon about our travels. Hopefully my Run Rabbit Run report will also be done soon. Life has been busy with […]
Photo by LongRun Picture Company If you’ve been following my blog lately, you know I’ve been running lots all over the world. The traveling has been amazing, seeing the world on my own two feet, but after all the running around it sure feels nice to be back in Ashland. My RRR 100 blog will be […]
Darkness deserves gratitude. It is the alleluia point at which we learn to understand that all growth does not take place in the sunlight. ~Joan Chittister Climb up too Col de la Seigne. Photo: Damiano Levati I’ve never wanted to quit a race so bad, not because of injury – even though my left calf […]
Speedgoat 50k The Wasatch Mountains are breathtaking; in more ways than one. There is one point in the course, around mile 23 where you basically climb right up a dirt wall on your way to Mt Baldy, it was awesome! Climbing the wall I stopped to catch my breath and almost went tumbling backwards, all […]
Why do I love to run every day? It is relatively simple, I run for peace and joy and to be free. You can be free wherever you are; I always try to keep that in my heart. But sometimes it helps to rent out your house and hit the open road. A couple weeks […]
I am super stoked to share this video of Western States 2013. My amazing Parent in-laws filmed and edited, spending many hours! Bob spent all day filming at Western, getting the perfect shots before, during and after. Debbie spent countless nights editing and putting this together. I’m blessed to have such a loving and caring family who enjoys the sport just as […]
My Western States 100m Race Report on iRunFar. Thanks to iRunFar for putting it up and all the live coverage on race day!!! Western States was another incredible experience, I love writing my reports and re-living the day. I’m not the finest writer out there, but I speak what I feel and in doing so my […]
Transvulcania So many good memories intoxicated my senses as I drank in the sights, sounds and smells of Transvulcania. The day’s heat penetrated the earth, wafting out smells of wildflowers, fennel and lava rock as I zig-zagged my way down to the Port of Tazacorte. Lizards zigged in and out of rocks demonstrating the way […]
Lake Sonoma 50 2013 I’ve enjoyed many runs in my life; this year’s Sonoma 50 miler was not high on my list. I went into this race debating if I should even start; my knee has been out of sorts – as of late – and I did not have much faith in it holding […]
