I guess you could say recovery from my race is going well. 2.5 mile hike with the dogs.

Thanks Wendy. It was fun to try something new.

DNF’d my first #backyardultra. ICYMI everyone DNF’s in a #lastpersonstanding event except, well, the last person who goes one loop further than everyone else. Huge thanks to volunteers and friends who kept me moving and smiling for ~30 miles and a weekend of fun in the mountains.

Midnight Land Sales in Reconciliation Megabill — Outdoor Alliance Lawmakers just advanced a massive budget bill with last-minute land sell-offs, attacks on NEPA, and conservation rollbacks. Here’s what outdoor recreationists need to know.

Last week, Republicans in the House advanced a bill that could put more than 500,000 acres of public land up for sale. Outdoor Alliance has a preliminary analysis of these lands, which shows that the proposed sell offs are places where people ride, climb, hike, and paddle.

I have to google packing lists because it makes me so overwhelmed. There’s a lot of great lists out there.

Every day, we wake up to new attacks on our community, new atrocities happening around the world, and we still have to get through our daily lives.

It can be a lot to manage, but remember: we have each other and will keep showing up for one another. www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-he...

Thanks so much. I’m excited!

My last longish run before my first #backyardultra! Another delightful beach run before headed back to the mountains.

Snacks!

This mountain woman is happy to be running on the beach. 10k to start the day!

Congrats to my friend Meg Eckert on her 6 day world record! So thrilled for her, and she still has 9 hours left to rack up the miles.

Well done! 👏🏽

6 miles of hiking today with my pups. Great way to cross train and regulate my brain.

lol. I’m the last thing they want to eat out there, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t cross my mind.

8.5 miles up to the top of 8 mile Mesa with my two boys. Saw mountain lion tracks and almost blooming lupines. Beautiful day!

Ugh. Sorry you got stuck with her. Your district will learn soon enough like ours did.

Yep. I slept 6-8 hours each night so broken up like that made it more doable.

Thanks!

Ahahahahaha. It’s was at the very beginning of January. Took me just over 5 days to complete. There are actually a couple 300 mile races in the USA even. Athletes keep wanting to go further and race directors listen.

Well done. 👏🏽 Thanks for being there. Until next time…

Heck yes! Eager to hear how it went?

My first tempo run post 200mi race. I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to to hit my goals, but needless to say I #nailedit. Beautiful Spring day.

Thank you John. I have a meeting or else I would. #resist ✊🏽
