Welcome to 2018; my first race of the new year, and one thing really still hasn’t changed… I’ll still find ways to harm myself in the middle of the woods surrounded by darkness, death, and poor choices. Why change what works? Prior to adventures…

June 18, 2017 4:30 PM PST: I’m sitting at the Pei Wie bar at McCarren International Airport. I order a pineapple ginger rum drink. Primarily for the ginger to settle my stomach, secondary for the rum to help wipe away the previous day’s memories….

I am not the fastest runner in the group. I am easily one of the most stubborn though. Four months ago, after running a fun four mile course during St. Patrick’s Day, I analyzed my ‘goodie bag’ in hopes of finding coupons for free…

But first...
Just snapped some fun stuff on a short run today. Hit the century mark for the month of August as well. Many more miles to go. @aravaiparunning Aspen Dream 50k is just over a month away. #training #running #trailrunning #health #fitness #fit #ultramarathon
Monday came with a gift! @ruhn_co shipped me out their newest top to sweat through while doing hill repeats tonight (and making faces of hopelessness). Light. Cool. Breathable. Thank you Ruhn Co.! There may be a few more of these in my future... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #ruhner #ruhn_co #running #trailrunning #ultramarathon #runkc #health #fitness #fit
Sometimes you wake up, put your gear on, flip your hat, throw on some sunglasses...and try to look like that "cool runner". Then you walk into your house after a few hours, take off your @bocogear hat, and your wife can't stop laughing at your new sunburn that she assures you all of your students will notice on Monday. 📷@darci_daugherty #sunburn #tanlines #running #trailrunning #bocogear #ruhner #ultramarathon #health #fitness #fit #runkc
When running...and you pass by a birthday party at mile 4...only to pass it again at mile 15...don't be surprised if a random child's mother offers you a piece of cake. You always take the cake. #trailrunning #running #training #cake #health #fitness #fit #bocogear #runkc
Got the timing down. Nailed a quick hour run between two sets of storms, after school, and a doctor's appointment. Reward? 🌞 ☁️ 📷 #training #trailrunning #mowx #running #health #fitness #runkc #ultramarathon #thunderstorm
After a few years of double booking this weekend; I finally got to enjoy the Lawrence Trail Hawks Birthday Run. A time for members to show up, run a few miles, and enjoy the company. Plus naming ceremonies for your "hawk name", if you're in need of one. My shoes squished from the sweat (that's a thing). It was an ugly fight for 15 miles starting at 4:30 PM, but one quart of cherry juice and a lot of patience later...plus 5 hours, it was finished. The rest of the night was spent under the shooting stars listening to stories of past races, and laughing the evening away. A pretty awesome birthday party @trail.hawks #trailrunning #running #health #fitness #fit #training #runkc #ultramarathon
