It has been a while since I’ve typed…ran…raced…puked…lived much of anything within the trail community. After the race in June of 2018 (2018!) I definitely hit a long stretch of lonely miles, uncertainties with my health, and just an overall adjustment in what I…

Happy Jul 4th and welcome to Mound City, Missouri! You will need to watch out for tractors, lawn mowers, and an occasional lost cow wandering the streets. Each Fourth of July this small farming community gets together for their annual parade, and the Red…

But first...
When the darkness of the real world is getting to you... ...get out into light. #trailrunning #running #ultrarunning #health #fitness #fit #runkc #spring #ruhn_co #bocogear
New season. New hat. Finally feeling like running weather! A quick 8 miles with all the comforts; @bocogear & @ruhn_co through the woods. Definitely digging my new training hat compliments of BOCO! #bocogear #ruhn_co #running #training #fitness #fit #health #spring #ultrarunning
I'm not saying all runs are fun, but even when every ounce of you wants out of it...get it done. Another Saturday, another long run on the paved trails. Half the time I also got night running practice! Plus, I get to look like an anime nerd busting out the front door late for school with a slice of bread in my mouth (common trope). Except this was mile 10 and that was @eatbobos Lemon Poppyseed. CUT WEEK IS NEXT! (...i think...) #trailrunning #running #training #runkc #ruhn_co #bocogear #health #fitness #fit #ultramarathon
The final days of March pushed me into new territory. After a 10 mile Saturday & a 15 mile Sunday, I was able to see my monthly mileage reach 100 miles for the first time since July of 2017 (when I was not being wise with my body). Yes, it's all training miles. Yes, that makes it hard and annoying at times. Yes, it will be worth it when I finally toe the line again. #bocogear #ruhn_co #training #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #runkc #ultrarunning
One final run before heading back to flyover land. A nice, encouraged 4 hour run by @pigtailultrarunner & @team_sparkle_productions resulted in a day on the Barr Trail. Personally, today is a victory because I was able to pack, plan, and execute a solo adventure on a somewhat remote trail (especially after the Incline finished) without any issues. Aside from biting it hard coming down the first time. I bailed before Barr Camp on account of fear of being alone, but in total I'll gladly take 10 miles, 4 hours, and 2800 feet of gain for a long run to finish off this trip. #trailrunning #Colorado #running #runkc #ultrarunning #health #fitness #fit #VertIsReal #SpringBreak
More miles trying to figure out the whole breathing thing. If you find yourself trapped in Denver, enjoy a few soft miles on the Highline Canal Trail. #Colorado #training #trailrunning #runkc #bocogear #ruhn_co #health #fitness #fit #running
