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...
Recess and art class has taken over my neighborhood and I couldn't be happier about it. #training #health #fitness #running #trailrunning
I struggle with not being able to stay on routine of venturing to @physedkc multiple times a week. Being in my basement drives me crazy. So blessed that @pigtailultrarunner and @leia_anderson stay connected by making sure my training stays alive. @aravaiparunning Sky Peaks 50k is in October. I have no excuse not to use my extra time now to train. #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #ultramarathon #strength #training
I've gone through my modes of panic. I've gotten the anxiety and sadness out of my system. Life changes; do we change with it or disappear? A quick run these past few days, and the small put together of a classroom office for my students (will be digital for at least a month). I cannot express to you, though I'm sure relatable, how desperately I have to get outside on breathe. We got this. #covid_19 #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #ultramarathon
I admit; one of my selfish joys is the monthly @getcairn box. It's catered to my outdoor stuff (trail running, camping, hiking, etc...). This month's box though was perfectly timed. My wife and I are like the rest of you, trying to figure out what moves (or lack thereof) to make in this crazy world. The box held a deck of cards from @basecampcardco. I didn't realize it until opening the deck that each card has questions printed on them. Just something to encourage more communication between me and my best friend. Nice timing Cairn, even if it wasn't planned. #family #getcairn #cards #covid_19 #running #outdoors
Thank goodness I'm a solo runner on most of my training runs. Will probably come in handy in the coming weeks and/or months. Found yesterday: Just a reminder of spring, freshness, purity, and another chance to start over with a clearer mind. #training #trailrunning #running #health #fit #fitness #runkc #ultramarathon
DOUBLExDOUBLE Life is crazy busy and the weather is fine 👌 5 miles this morning out near my house. 10 miles this evening out at one of my favorite trail segments (when it's dry) Two runs in one day (6 hours apart), with the distance doubled. It's the weird stuff that keeps me moving. #trailrunning #running #training #health #fit #fitness #ultramarathon
