I super dig veggie noodles. Morgan is not the biggest fan. Don’t get me wrong, he likes them “ok”, but has very politely mentioned he would also be cool with me mixing a few “real” noodles in there as well. Point taken! So, I just eat all the veggie noodles when he is not home. My stomach thanks me and I throw a few pieces of that “real” pasta in the mix now and then for Morg. #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #rad #radboulder #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

Next month Morgan and I will celebrate 10 yrs. of marriage. I know, we can hardly believe it either😁 Also, I’m sure to Morgan it feels like a mere minute, as I am surely the easiest person to cohabitant with on the planet😂 All joking aside, I want to dedicate this post to the best possible partner I could ever imagine. My ride or die in all things. Morgan always has big goals, but this year he has added even more. Thus, as an anniversary present I decided to gift him with a running coach. Huge thank you in advance to the one and only AJW🙏🏼 Stay tuned for some wild training adventures! #morekaleformorgan #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #skimo #feedyoursoul #Boulder #ColoRADo #trainright #cts

We interrupt this Monday to wish the incomparable Cat Bradley endless positive energy as she races Penyagalosa this weekend! We are so proud of YOU and always there for you! #illbethereforyou #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #cycling #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

Spring is officially here! There is no doubt we’ll see more snow. There is also no doubt May will bring her usual apocalyptic blizzard. For now, we relish in the warm sunshine and blooming flowers from coast to coast. Aspens are showing buds and I sure have missed climbing up this canyon. Also, eat good food🙏🏼 Did you know there is such a thing as vegan marshmallows? Made from seaweed💚 Resetting and refocusing on those goals we set initially. #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #springhassprung #feedyoursoul #Boulder #ColoRADo

Last week during a big storm we lost power for the day and all through the night. We are fortunate to have a wood burning stove that keeps the house temperature up and enables us to make hot food. 1. Always have a cast iron skillet on hand 2. Make sure to have items in the pantry that are easily doable on/in the stove. Eggs are a main source of protein in our house and we usually have a few cans of beans/lentils on hand. Obviously we had kale 😁 and lots of fresh herbs to throw on at the end. Be sure to add olive oil and salt+pepper. What could easily have been cereal for bfast/lunch/dinner easily transforms into a solid meal. Also, post holing and swimming through fields of snow will eventually tire out a pup.

Snow has arrived! #postholing #shovelingsnow #enduranceathlete #bombcyclone #doepicshit #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

Here’s the deal, switching up dairy and animal protein a few meals a week is pretty easy if we don’t over think it all. The impact it has on our planet is well worth it. Change that yoghurt for coconut yoghurt. Or better yet switch it up for a cheese made from nut mylk and immediately add more protein to your diet. Beans/legumes are easy replacements. Adding seeds+nuts, fats+fiber and lots of great veggies brings things full circle. Everything we need and nothing we don’t. #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo

Happy International Women’s Day. Thank YOU to all who have paved the way and continue to do so. To the women who fight loudly with fists in the air. To the women who fight quietly, tirelessly with grace with few aware until movement is made and shift takes place. Thank you to those with stars in their eyes who leave magic and glitter behind. The dreamers, the doers and believers. Shine on and on and on. WE BELIEVE IN YOU. THANK YOU. #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #internationalwomensday #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo

SOOO much snow! Holy smokes. Really happy the snow is here AND that the winds have died down for now. Steady powder still falling. This week has consisted of training inside on the treadmill, hip deep hikes in snow, cupcakes, truffles and epsom salt soaks. #onward #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

This is hands down the coldest winter we have experienced in the eleven years we have lived in Colorado. I grew up in the Region (Northwest Indiana) and spent many years in Upstate New York. Cold is certainly no stranger to me. However, that does not mean I am comfortable right now. And honestly, I would rather have the cold than the heat. BUT it does prompt me to make hot chocolate more often! Morgan is a huge fan and truth be told he would rather have Swiss Miss (gasp!) but I try to kick it up a notch. 1. Always use your fanciest mug 😁 2. We like dark chocolate, but obviously anything works 3. Use almond milk (make your own!) or any nut milk as it adds great protein for athletes 4. I always throw in one of GU’s amino acid caps and they melt right away 5.marshmallows are a must and you can easily find vegan marshmallows as well. We would make this for Tim, Krista, T$ and our sweet Kai Kai today if they were here. We love you and miss you. THE END 🙏🏼 #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo #hotcocoa

This is what Morgan thought of today’s workout! Hahhaaha I am still laughing at the photo on the side of the canyon. Truth be told, the workout was pretty humbling. When we woke up this morning Morgan asked if I wanted to go to brunch. “I will go to brunch if we run there and hike back up the canyon” “Errr that sounds like a bad idea” “I think it sounds like a great idea! The way there is all down hill and the way home is just a long hike” So...that is what we did. And 1600+ feet of climbing later, we are home. Also, I suspect I will be running to brunch on my own in the future😂 #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #feedyoursoul #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #cycling #climbing #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

Getting back to it, but that kill switch is still on. Honestly feeling the ick. Just down right like poop. My joints are stiff and uncomfortable. Painful. Did you know the original 21 Jumpstreet is on Prime right now?? I would much rather lay on the couch and watch that. THAT will do me no good. Dragged myself out the door for a hike because I CAN. Two weeks ago, that was not the case and I need to focus on that rather than the discomfort I feel today. Doing what is hard instead of what is easy. Just processing. #onward #letsdothis #doepicshit #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #Enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #cycling #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

Yahoooo! Received a most excellent “welcome to the Salty Squad” GU package this week!!! I am a fan of SO many nutrition brands and all they do. The key is finding one that works BEST for YOU. GU’s products have helped me stay upright through some pretty yucky days. Excited to stand next to Salty for as long as he’ll have me🙏🏼💙❄️ #guforit #saltyssquad2019 #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

Sometimes I still bake. Especially when I can’t do anything active. In between copious amounts of planks, pushups+situps, I made a cake. This one is for Morgan and our upcoming house guest...the one and only Billy Yang. Cake for breakfast! #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #cake #allthegluten #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo

So this leg is healing well and I could not be more relieved. As I reflect back on the state of panic I was in once I lifted my pant leg up, I was more than aware of the severity of the wound AND that I was home alone on top of the mountain. Within ten minutes of falling I was able to get to the house. We keep a VERY well stocked emergency first aid kit at home. Two actually. One for humans and one for the pets. As I hobbled in the front door my pants were soaked in blood and it was still flowing. I feverishly grabbed a bag of saline and began pouring it over my leg. Our claw foot tub swirling with saline and blood. One hand texting and not so calmly trying to contact someone...anyone on my emergency list. The other hand ripping open gauze and Tegaderm. Thank you Jesus for Tegaderm and the forethought to have both it and saline on hand. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I also had pneumonia and felt terrible. Sobbing and trying to speak, I was quickly able to get a friend on the phone to get me to the ER. Big lesson here if you live and or play remotely: 1. Have an emergency contact list at your disposal. When you are in a state of panic, names don’t quickly come to mind. 2. PLEASE have a well stocked emergency first aid kit. You never know how long it will be for help. The first thing the doc said to me in the ER was “wow! This is an extraordinarily clean wound. Your flushing it out and covering so quickly was the best thing you could have done” #exhale #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo

Starting this with a puppy photo and easing into it. The last photo is a doozy. Disclaimer: don’t look at the last photo if you aren’t into gnarly gashes. I’ve been really sick this past week. Finally feeling like I could make the 400m trek to the mailbox yesterday. Slipped on some slick snow and came down hard on a rock outcropping. Murphy’s law that Morgan is out of town. HUGE thank you to Ryan+Cat for getting me down the mountain and Suzanne for getting me back up. A zillion stitches later and a bit of Netflix in my future. The 1% of the time that I did NOT have Kahtoola’s on. Also, Great Danes are perfect for leg elevation. Well played 2019. Well played. #rad #lessonlearned #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

Make a wish. Anything you want. Everything you want. Do you have it? Good. Now put it in a box and place it in your heart. Believe it can come true. You never know where the next miracle is going to come from. The next smile. The next wish come true. But if you believe that it’s right around the corner and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get one thing you are wishing for. The world is full of magic. You just have to believe in it. So make your wish. Do you have it? Good. Now believe it with all your heart. 💙 #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #magic #heart #believe #wish #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #skimo #running #NewYear #2019 #Boulder #ColoRADo #happynewyear #milagros

Ate this. Had a solid climb up and down this. Brought this one and that one JUST in case because ya never know. Ate that. Soaked in this. Ate this.

Of all the cool things we have on the books for 2019, there are a handful of people and things we have not yet solidified or connected with. Perhaps they might be xtra special important for specific reasons OR we simply have not worked with them yet and we super dig them🙏🏼 A few we just want to do something bigger with. Last night we sat down and wrote a list of a few things we did not want to miss out on. This is the start of that list💙 #herewego #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #climbing #skimo #cycling #Boulder #ColoRADo

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked “what type of diet do you follow?” I’d have a whole lot more dollars. Here’s the deal, neither Morgan or I follow a specific diet. We eat animal protein, just not very often. We might go days inadvertently following something resembling a vegan diet, but we’re not shouting veganism from the rooftops. Your diet is your own, just as the way we eat is our own. I eat slightly different than Morgan for very specific reasons. We are not the same person. The premise of RAD has always been that we are a catering company that focuses on feeding endurance athletes and meeting the needs of said athletes. This is a peek into a normal day for me. I have blood work quarterly and am low on nothing🙏🏼 Disclaimer: this is what works for me. I am me...NOT you👈🏼 #getyourmudchecked #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo
