Secrets To Running 100 Miles Under 24 Hours

February 1, 2020 Glory / Guts / Psychology / UltrarunningLeave a comment

5 Things You Need To Know About Running 100 Miles In A Day

October 5, 2018 Guts / Psychology / Trail Running / Ultrarunning5 Comments

It was Sunday, 10 in the morning, in the vicinity of the finish line of the Stagecoach 100 mile race. I was not functioning well as a human person. “Hey, I couldn’t find you!” said Geoff after I’d wandered off for another unplanned nap in the back of the enormous …

42 Miles: That Day I Ran Across The Grand Canyon, Twice, On Purpose

March 30, 2018 Guts / Trail RunningLeave a comment

The first time I ran across the Grand Canyon and back, it put me in its mouth like a fresh piece of bubblegum, swallowed me whole, let me bathe in digestive acids, regurgitated me back up its canal, chewed me a little more, blew a bubble, popped the bubble, then …

Enjoyment Of The Trail Doesn’t Mean Going “Slow”

Enjoyment Of The Trail Doesn’t Mean Going “Slow”

Winters wonderful perk: waking up at an hour that Winters wonderful perk: waking up at an hour that feels reasonable and yet still I am able to see the transition and growing light of dawn. 

Every season brings us to a new chapter. Winter could seem like a time of limited light, inconvenient weather, and even a lack of ... something. 

If you are feeling a lack of something this winter, it's OK to pay attention to that and let it rest. Xoxoxox

200 posts and who am I evolving into? Two Instagra 200 posts and who am I evolving into? Two Instagram accounts and who do they represent within me to the world? Two names I call myself and what does that say about my embrace of the multifacetedness that is possible when I evolve? 

Two/too seems to be a theme as of late. There's a two on my door. There are two callings, two years in SLC. And there's a "2" in many questions I ask. Where to? To what ends? Can one person travel to another plane without a flight and without a fight? When to grow? How to know?

2 to two too, et tu?

I am multitudes. But I am also one. As are you. You are, too. And you are perfect.

Here's to days and nights of tooooooooo much but just enough. ❤️💫
