But first...
Adventure time! Took a few hours out of the family vacation, drove to Current River State Park (part of the @mostateparks system), and decided to try my go at a training run on a trail, in a park, away from everyone...that I'd never been to before (while forgetting bug spray). It was a new style of excitement. A lot of time spent reaching one blaze, looking for the next, and trying to figure out how to get there with a barely visible/non-existent path. A small break was found in the way of running down/hiking up a magnificent gravel road. It was like a small preview of the Ozarks Trail and Arkansas Traveler; two races I'll likely never touch. #bocogear #ruhn_co #ruhner #hshive #runkc #mostateparks #running #trailrunning #training #health #fitness #ultramarathon #hokaoneone #missouri #Ozarks
When your family brews doppios from mobile espresso machines instead of coffee in pots 👍💯 #glamping #espresso #goodmorning #coffee #camping #pause
It's been a whirlwind few weeks: -School officially ended May 31 (Kansas City) -North Fork 50k was June 1 (Colorado) -Debate prep for nationals started June 3 to June 11th (Kansas City) -Curriculum revisions on June 5th & June 6th (Kansas City) -Debate nationals start June 15th (Dallas) I forgot about my family vacation scheduled from June 11-June 14...thankfully my wife did not. Time for a quick escape, restart, and refocus. ...and some miles on Ozarks trails... #running #pause #trailrunning #health #fitness #fit #bocogear #runkc #run
Amazing what a change of shoes can do. Finally fully embraced the @hokaoneone world. Speedgoats 3 were absolutely amazing on my trail back since last week's race. #trailrunning #training #ultramarathon #hokaoneone #runkc #ruhner #health #fitness #running
Another one for the books. It was a struggle. A serious struggle at times. However, North Fork 50k is completed. Amazingly no blisters, no chaffing, just some serious aches, pains, and really rough nausea. Somehow a course PR as well... So, so grateful for my wife crewing, the @goldenmountainrunners crew, @hrjossi & many, many people from the @highlonesome100 family that consistently hawked over me throughout the day to ensure I was taking care of myself. #trailrunning #running #ultramarathon #bocogear #ruhn_co #health #fitness #fit #runkc
After... -An ABS light on my truck -A final half day of school... -Surprise questioning from two undercover DEA agents at KCI -Meeting a KCMO K9 unit in real life I've arrived in Colorado for North Fork 50k tomorrow morning. I'm nervous, but I'm holding strong to @pigtailultrarunner training plan that I've been with for some time. As she says with @team_sparkle_productions, "It isn't luck. We trained for this." #runkc #bocogear #ruhn_co #training #trailrunning #running #colorado #health #fitness
