No long run for me today. Sitting vigil with this little one. Pneumonia is no fun especially when you’re only six months old and 100#. Fortunately we have a lot of chicken stock and rice on hand. #sittingvigilinthekitchen #greatdanesofinstagram #rad #radboulder #Boulder #ColoRADo

To all of my friends racing in Chamonix this week🙏🏻 Whether you have the day of your dreams or the day you hope to avoid, please know I will be right there by your side. I’ll be up all night cheering from our couch in the mountains wearing my best hoodie and fanciest joggers. Cowbell in hand, French press at the ready, Twitter on constant refresh, Whatsapp ablaze, and as many SATphones as I am fortunate enough to be connected to. If you find yourself on the side of the trail feeling alone with nothing left to give, please know I am right there with you cheering. Also, I would totally wipe that puke off of your sweaty face, sing you a song and send you on your way😁 If you find yourself having the day of your dreams and break that tape like no other, please know I am right there by your side crying tears of joy along with you! Nothing but the best of energy your way my friends. I am so proud of you all already. 👊🏻 #ibelieveinyou #yougotthis #relentlessforwardmotion #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #Chamonix #UTMB

Old friends and new at Transrockies! Being on the road is not always easy, but having good friends show up is always like having a little bit of home by our side. We sure do love these knuckleheads🙏🏻💙#transrockies rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunnig #ColoRADo

I grew up in the midwest during the 70’s/80’s. We drank juice, soda, milk, Gatorade, Kool-aid and lemonade as kids. I do not ever recall simply drinking a tall glass of water. These days 99% of what I drink is water. Well water, creek water, river water...you name it. The Lifestraw is always on hand. Today we lost power (lightning strike) and therefor access to our well. I loaded up the dogs and water jugs and drove over the hill to Ward and tapped this amazing spring on the side of the road. Apparently, this particular source provides the 3rd purest water in the United States. It is ice cold and amazing. We should lose power more often🙏🏻

The months of June/July/August are always the most exciting for us and simultaneously bring us to our knees. Today is the last day of a five day cycling camp with CTS+Mara Abbott. A 4AM wake up call means it is definitely time to soak my feet and roll my legs out. The next two weeks are looking bonkers and over the top exciting with an epic sort of line up. Self care is paramount: 1. Recovery 2. Rest when we can 3. Being protective of down time/alone time to recharge 4. Eating well/hydrating. 5. Training. Finding balance is key if we want to be upright come October. Until then, we’ll see you in Silverton next! #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #balance #themountainsarecalling #enduranceathletes #Boulder #ColoRADo

Relentless forward motion. Thank you Darcy for the sage advice. Sheer will when nothing else works. My body feels strong. Race ready. The only thing left that stands in my way are the small threads of self doubt that attempt to rear their ugly heads close to race day. The past month I’ve pictured myself literally shoving those doubts away. My own version of “expecto patronum!”. Whatever works. Whatever makes it go away. When I find myself slumping with discomfort and feeling the pace slow, I look for the tallest tree...the tallest point of a peak and immediately find myself miraculously walking taller. “Train the brain” said AJW. “Adapt” said Koop. “Never count yourself out” said Corrine.1. I am 2. I will 3. I won’t #itsalongwaytothetop #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #Boulder #ColoRADo

Race season has a lot of moving parts. Adding our own training (and keeping it consistent) brings an entirely different layer to the mix. At the end of the day, it really is all about the balancing act within. Eat, sleep, run/ride/climb, repeat. #worklifebalanceREPEAT #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #training #balance #ultrarunning #climbing #cycling #mountainbiking #Boulder #ColoRADo

Not Narnia, but close. My favorite trail as of late. And the Columbines are off the charts everywhere up high right now. This is what I picture in my head when folks ask “Why did you stop road racing? What led you to trail running?” This right here is surely one of the reasons. #softandsquishydirt #wildflowers #themountainsarecalling #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #trailrunning #ultrarunning #Boulder #ColoRADo

Pickled beets+cucumbers w/eggs and hummus for breakfast before a four hour run today. Lots of protein, but not too heavy. Lots of sodium and probiotics for the stomach. I had intended to eat this much earlier, but we had an unexpected visit from a bear, a moose AND a rooster🐓. Note to self: bring the humming bird feeder inside at night. I’m looking forward to what I will encounter when I actually leave the yard today😂 #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #probiotics #protein #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #Boulder #ColoRADo

And it was all jello. Well, jello and bone broth. Last week I ran a 30 miler. The focus from my coach was to: 1. Hike 2. Hydrate 3. Have fun! 4. Treat it as a training run. I am thrilled to report all of the above goals were met...and then some. I was definitely out there for longer than planned. As in ultra running, you just never know what you’re gonna get. After the race I feverishly ate a cheeseburger. Although I was not particularly hungry, I knew we had an hour ride home and I wanted to avoid that panicky hungry feeling that comes with not eating soon enough. About half way home I said adios to that cheeseburger on the side of the Peak to Peak Highway. I had definitely eaten too much and too soon. I spent the rest of the night sipping on chicken bone broth w/apple cider vinegar and started to feel much more like myself. I often forget how easy to digest and comforting hot broth is. Jello and bone broth, and reduced (slowly reduced) veggie stock have amazing healing properties. All three of these items are easy to digest, easy to make and help heal the small tears in our muscles and soft tissue after hard workouts. If you are able, make them ahead of time so they are available after your race. And maybe avoid a cheeseburger directly after 😁 #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #Boulder #ColoRADo

Happy Global Running Day! Throw back to the first relay team I was fortunate to be a part of. Valparaiso, IN circa 1983-4ish. 4x4. I was the anchor and 2nd from right in the photo. Endless memories🙏🏻💙🦋 Earlier this morning I tried to imagine a world without running and was left without words. This sport gives so much if you allow it and have your eyes open. Big ups to everyone who shares the love with us. #globalrunningday2018 #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning #enduranceathlete #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #Boulder #ColoRADo

Sweet rest+recovery. Greens and eggs for breakfast, spelt risotto for lunch...cheeseburgers for dinner! This past weekend was one for the books, that’s for sure. First race in over a decade! Thank you to Megan Finnesy for putting on a seamless race in the Dirty 30 50k. What a day. Endless gratitude to Krista Olson and Bob Loomis for keeping it real out there and standing by my side. Huge thank you to my coach Jason Koop for making a cameo mid course when I needed it most🙏🏻 And to Morgan for everything. Always💙 Lots of soaking of the feet, rolling, hydrating, rest+recovery before the next effort. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. #rad #radboulder #ultrarunning #feedyoursoul #enduranceathlete #ctsathlete #ColoRADo #sufferbetter

We’re still alive! Promise! Holy smokes. Race season is definitely upon us all. Not much time for social media these days. Super fun camps, retreats, outdoor industry sales meetings and lots more of it around the corner. Endless thank yous to all who welcomed us in the month of May. Errr...what happened to May? Is 2morrow June?? #yikes #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #Boulder #ColoRADo

I had a bout with panic this week. A “big” race coming up. August marks a year since my training started. I only remember the month b/c it was the week of UTMB that I committed to all of this and my coach was in Chamonix. It’s safe to say that the past 9 months have held their fair share of more than uncomfortable workouts. I’m pretty comfortable being uncomfortable at this point. Fist fulls of kale, beets 💩, Roctane, protein, protein and more protein...and here we are two weeks from a 30 miler. If I am honest with myself, it’s the long runs that I feel my best self. The least uncomfortable. I’ve just come to this conclusion today after digging through all of my training logs. Here’s to letting go of that anxiety and embracing the fact that no one can email or call me for a full day🙏🏻 #tough #breathe #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #Boulder #ColoRADo

Today’s workout was peppered with miles of “I feel like a superhero!” annnnd miles of “errr I don’t know if I can finish this workout...” I also didn’t have a choice but to finish as I was smack in the middle of nowhere and there is no such thing as mountain Uber. I’ve been running long enough to know that if you just tough it the heck out, sooner or later the next wave of comfort will appear. So that was the plan. That and staying hydrated and watching the calorie intake. I’m a firm believer in the “sip+nibble” EVERY mile. THAT will get you home for sure. Get your nutrition dialed and you’re half way there. #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #mountainbiking #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

Three cheers for this guy! Morgan walked away from his job at Exxel Outdoors (a paying job w/bennies!) on a hope and a prayer to help me start up RAD. That was four and a half years ago. #The level of gratitude and admiration I have for him as a business partner rivals the love and respect I have for him as a partner in life. Without Morgan, RAD would simply not exist. These days, our roles have shifted and Morgan has been able to resume his spot on the Exxel team as the Sales Director for Ultimate Direction. He still washes his share of dishes and hauls us up and over mountain passes. His days in the kitchen may be few and far between, but that’s ok with me. #thankyou #besthusbandever #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #feedyoursoul #Boulder #ColoRADo
