I like to run everywhere! Whether in the mountains of Colorado or while traveling for work, running is exploring.
I share my stories of running and how they intersect with daily life.
Getting experiences out through writings in a book, blog, or social media ensures they live on.
There are many reasons why I like running. The act of running itself is rarely the reason I like running. It’s more about the people in the running community that motivate me to continue. They are not scared to set goals. Make a goal and take the next step towards it. There’s a phrase I…
It was cold, then hot, then cold. A year of working from home has meant 2 hours less in the car each day so more time to get back to running! After races kept being cancelled, I decided to up the challenge … a 50 mile race through the desert of Arizona. Good news is…
Part of my strategy earlier this year of finishing my first 100 mile race was to prove to myself I could travel the distance. I’m quite honest with myself and know that each race is different in terms of terrain, altitude, and cutoff times. At the same time, I have attempted Leadville before, including ending…

If your dreams don’t scare you, dream bigger. Since I finished my first Silver Rush 50 in Leadville, I knew that I wanted to complete a 100 mile race. My answer to the “why” question has changed since then. Ultimately it comes down to this … I want to do challenging things. I was to…
For many, it would appear that I have disappeared off the planet the past 6 months. I guess that is true. Kind of. Family, work, and life has been busy. Not unusual as I get several messages a week from people that follow me online asking how I am keeping up with all of the…
2016 Leadville Heavy Half Yes, the half at 15.5 miles and not the full for another 10. Maybe I’m just getting old. Or smarter. Well, I returned from a 10 day trip to Ohio on Tuesday and then decided to register for a race in Leadville that was a few days later. Maybe not smarter.…
