FAMILY AND RUNNING Quick sound: the air raid sirens. I haven’t seen a ribbon in way too long. Panic sets in as I try to rationalize what I have done wrong. I have a random pacer who decided to join me, frankly without my permission, but now I am lost. Thankfully, Random Pacer has a phone, so […]

The Evolution Loop
This running season I decided to race slightly less and try to explore some of the amazing places we have the ability to run but where there will never be permits to race. They turn into these unforgettable adventures and times of exploration. The Evolution Loop was this and so much more. Using it as […]
Quicksilver 100k Race Report: Mining for Silver

My Bighorn 100 Adventure
Finding Inner Peace at The BigHorn 100 100 miles by no means is a short run. 100 miles takes grit, courage and determination to complete. The Bighorn 100 was no different as there was a large majority of the first half where I wondered if I would even finish. This was hands down the […]
