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 […]
I wanted to try something new with this post so let me know what you guys think. Instead of a long winded trip report I am just going to share some photos from a recent hike in Harriman State Park. It was a beautiful day and all of the recent snow melt created a lot of beautiful waterways that I […]

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 […]
Hiking stats at a glance: Total Mileage = ~6 miles After spending a few hours driving through Titus Canyon I think everyone was ready for a hike to stretch our legs. Normally from this trailhead most people head over to Fall Canyon which is a relatively popular destination in Death Valley National Park. However, we decided to go with […]
