The warm weather is moving in and my first race of the season is approaching quickly. These past two weeks have been a little more challenging than I would of hoped. I have been struggling with some tendonitis which is manageable but annoying and my anxiety around trying to manage my training load while not feeling like I am missing […]
March brought warm weather finally and a lot of rain but it was a nice change of pace from Februarys heavy snow. I was able to hit most of my mileage goals while also improving the quality of my runs and adding more elevation gain. I would of liked to keep my totals about 40 miles a week but my […]
March is already half way over and the warm weather is starting to slowly appear. We had a week of nice weather which melted the 8+ inch snowpack in the course of a few days. Running in the mud was a welcome change of pace after weeks of only running on snow. The Hyner Trail challenge is only a little […]
Well February was primarily a tale of heavy snow that lingered for the entire month making trail running a challenge. Overall the miles felt slow and challenging but I have still been able to keep increasing my weekly mileage which was a major goal for this year.

Can’t believe January came and went already. Here is my January wrap up. Overall I have been managing to keep my mileage up and have also made some progress on planning out the remainder of the year. The weather has been really mild up until recently when winter decided to show up. The snow, wind and cold has been a […]
Well half way into January already and I figured I would recap how things are shaping up so far. I feel like taking the time to write out how my training has been going is a good way to keep myself accountable. I am also always open to thoughts and ideas from others so feel free to shoot me an […]
In the past this blog has been only been used to share trip reports and not much else. For reasons I am not sure I could express I avoided putting almost anything personal on here but like I mentioned in my 2020 recap post, I am looking to change that this year. I want to invite people along with me […]
Well, 2020 was a tough year but one positive thing that came out of it was that I moved to a full work from home schedule indefinitely. What this means for me is that I no longer spend 3+ hours of each day commuting, which is a massive time savings. With all the free time I was able to commit […]
