• We just got back from #Iceland and it was amazing! It was definitely a full value trip with weather ranging from 60's and sunny to temps in 40's with rain and winds up to ~40mph. _ Our trip started with a day in #Reykjavik exploring the sites, and enjoying some local beer. _ Day 2 saw us up early to catch the bus to #landmannalaugar Once there we settled into the hut, then grabbed our things and spent the afternoon hiking and climbing #bláhnjúkur After that we made some food then soaked for a bit in the local hot springs. _ On days 3-4 it was time to hike. We saw all types of weather between landmannalaugar and #thorsmork crossed rivers, passed through thermal fields, and navigated persistent snow fields. It was awesome! _ Day 5 was supposed to be the day we hiked the #fimmvorduhals trail, but with winds forecasted at 60+ mph for the following 36 hours we decided to catch the bus out and get a head start on the rest of our trip. We would eventually hike the second half of this section later in the week. _ Day 6 was spent mostly in #skaftafell park hiking. The route we chose took us up one glacial valley, then traversed across some beautiful high alpine Meadows to another glacial valley before kicking us out where are started. We ended the day with a hike into a hot spring fed pool before settimg up in #skogar where we camped in front of the famous #skogafoss waterfall. _ On day 7 we hiked up from Skogar on the other side of the fimmvorduhals trail for a couple of hours before turning around. On this section you encounter waterfall after waterfall after waterfall. In the evening we stopped in Hveragerdi, checked out the thermal park in town (not worth it), then hiked into a hot river (definitely worth it) before heading back to our campsite. _ On day 8 (our last day) we got up early to visit #thingvellir which is significant both historically and geologically. It's where the continental plates are diverging and literally tearing the island apart. Afterwards we headed back to Reykjavik and visited the city thermal pools where we soaked and showered before our flight back to the US. _ Question... Should we do this again? Who wants to go?

  • Man that felt good! It's been a while since we've had the opportunity to get out for a real run in the mountains. With the family out of town, and a meeting in Stowe, I took the opportunity to run one of our favorite routes... Pinnacle/Skyline/Hunger Loop. This loop clocks in at 10 miles and just over 3600ft of climbing and descending if starting from the lower #Stowe Pinnacle trailhead. It's 7 miles of decently challenging trail with 3 dirt road miles back to the car. Such a fun route! _ #vtrunco #runvt #runvermont #trailrunvt #trailrunning #thisisvt #explorevt #stoweked #bestvttrailruns

  • Today's #runch required a number of course corrections due to high water levels! _ Along those lines... Are you the type of person that has a plan and sticks to that plan no matter what. Or... Are you the type of person that goes by feel going longer/faster or slower/easier based on what your body is telling you? _ We like to have a plan and purpose for each of our runs. However, if we are honest, we're much more likely to take it easy on a hard day than go hard on an easy day. Our excuses being that going hard on an easy day will increase our injury risk, and going easy on a hard day is just our body telling is it needs a break. _ It's so easy to fall into that trap... How do you motivate yourself on those tough days...

  • Just a reminder that the trails are still quite squishy! Please take care when heading out and avoid trails that are overly wet and/or muddy. An incredible amount of work goes into creating and maintaining trails and the damage we can do during mud season can cost thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to repair. _ If in doubt... Just don't go! _ #VTRunCo #runvermont #runvt #trailrun #trailrunvt #trailrunvermont #runnewengland #runnortheast #newenglandrunner #mudseason #thisisvermont #thisisvt #explorevermont #explorevt

  • Got in a few miles today with my favorite 1yo. _ Also... @brodyleven has partnered with @asics to give away the #gelnimbus. All you have to do is share a winter running tip and tag the post with Brody, Asics, and gelnimbus. If anyone knows running through the winter... It's all of us here in the #northeast. So share your secret. Maybe it will help get someone out the door, and maybe you'll win a new pair of kicks. _ Our winter running tip is to embrace the adversity. Winter isn't about training... It's about being active and building mental fortitude by choosing to get out there. _ #Bonus ... If you like running trails... Winter is the best season because every route becomes a trail. _ #VTRunCo #runtheeast #runnortheast #newenglandrunner #runvermont #runvt #trailrunvt #winterrunning #suunto #goprohero7

  • Another day... Another #runch _ Ducked into the trails at the #intervalecenter today, but it didn't last long. The new snow fell on top of a slick icy shell and hasn't bonded at all. In the video you might notice a little wiggle... That's due to my constant flailing and struggle to keep my feet underneath my body. See pic #3 illustrates what I was working with. _ Did you get out today?
