• Some of my favorites memories from Alaska last year. This was such a fun & active trip with kayaking, fly fishing, rock climbing, hiking -- so much to do! .... I thought this #throwbackthursday was appropriate, as we head out on Saturday for another adventure. We are so blessed to be able to see the world one vacation or work trip at a time! .... 👇Where do you want to visit on vacation next?

  • Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. - Lou Holtz ... I love this quote, because it reminds you of the different facets to being successful. It's not just natural talent or even hard work. .... You need all three to be balanced -- which leads to success. And not just in running, but in everything you do. .... 👇 Which one are you working in most right now? .... For me, I'm working mostly on attitude. On being more positive when things get tough. One of those things i'm good at helping others with, but not as good myself.

  • Scenes from this morning's run. I was sleeping so well, I didn't want to get up for a run -- but views like this made it very worthwhile. ... The ruins I found at my turnaround point are from an old Franciscan monastery. A very cool surprise and I shared a video with more of the ruins in my Insta Story. ... While I love trail running most, exploring on a run when I travel is a close second. And I have lots of places to see over the next few weeks!!! ... 👇What is the best place you have run recently?

  • WARRIOR DASH 2018!!! My second obstacle course race & first Warrior Dash. This is the muddiest I have ever been for sure! ... Here's how this one works: 5K trail/cross-country course with 12 obstacles. Crawling through rocky mud pits under barbed wire, scaling wooden walls with ropes or just your hands, sliding on your back, or crossing water pits on floating crates -- fun & crazy stuff. ... This was much shorter than the Tough Mudder we did last hear -- less than 50 minutes to complete the full course. And the final crawl through the mud pit is how we ended up covered in so much mud!! ... 👇Have you done an OC race like this (tell me your favorite!)? Would you like to try one if not?

  • I can't believe how long it took me to join the Friday Trail Run group. And how much I look forward to it each week now. ... Okay, that's not entirely true. I know I don't like early mornings & that's why it took me so long. 🤣 ... I'm glad @Sarahvfeinberg kept pushing me to get up early to join -- especially with views like this. It's ridiculous that this is in my backyard!! ... 👇What's one thing that it took a while for you to do, that you now really enjoy??
