Are you as surprised as I am on the rare occasion when I post here? I’m baaaaack. For a second anyway. High Lonesome 100 is just three days away, and I wanted to jot down some thoughts, honestly for me as much as anyone else. When people ask if I’m ready, it’s tough to find … More Several (Too-Long, Meandering) Pre-Race Thoughts about Grit
I came down with meningitis seventeen years ago today. Seventeen years since the start of this headache which I now know will never go away. Seventeen feels like a huge number – nearly half my life – big enough that in that time most of the things that scar us ought to be healed, right?? … More Seventeen Years Is a Very Long Time
One hour into Grindstone 100, the sun set – for the first time. … More Two Sunsets & Two Sunrises – A (long, profane) Grindstone 100 Race Report
Let me start by offering all the excuses to explain why I have not finished a 100-mile race in two years despite repeated efforts: In 2016, the Bear 100 was nicknamed the Polar Bear 100.

Four days, 100 Miles of San Juan Mountain Majesty … More SOFTROCK: Part Trail Run, Part Fast Pack, Part Mountain Climb
My first trail race of the season – Dirty 30 50K – is only one week away! I’m particularly excited for the Dirty 30 this year because it will be my fifth year finishing, and the race director (Megan Finnesy) presents five-year finishers with cool jackets. Obviously ultras are all about the badass apparel. Of … More Taper Tantrums
Hey, I’m back on the blog! (Whaat?) It’s been a few months since the release of my memoir, and my sanity is starting to return marble by marble. I’m sure the other reason I’m back writing here is obvious: another adventure is on the horizon! My big ultra of the year, Fat Dog 120, is … More Power Cleans & Fat Dogs
We made it! On January 16th, after nine days on the mountain, we summited Mt. Aconcagua. It was my first experience on any of the Seven Summits. In lieu of a final blog post, I compiled video I took along the trip. I hadn’t ever created a video before so I promise, it’s totally amateur. Also, … More Aconcagua: We summited!
Hello from Plaza de Mulas! … More Aconcagua: Half-way up the Mountain
Hi all! I’m writing you from a hostel in Mendoza, Argentina. It’s been quite a journey to get here. I flew out of Denver Wednesday afternoon, barely making it out before a massive snowstorm. I’m so thankful. From there my climbing partner, Matt, met me in Dallas and we boarded an overnight flight to Santiago, … More Aconcagua: Almost to the Mountain
