Wow, its new and shiny, it must be amazing! I am a consumer, I must have it!! I try to keep thoughts like these at bay when I read through online reviews or the bi-annual OR gear show reports. Unfortunately I can’t help lusting after the latest and greatest in the outdoor industry. In my [...]
Am I a runner? Could I ever be a runner? What makes you a runner? I took part in high school cross country and stayed fit playing ultimate frisbee in college but never thought to run just for the sake of running. Running fast or running far takes a lot of effort and putting in [...]
We have been getting some love from climbing bloggers recently so its time that I finished off this post. Though I subscribe to over 300 different blogs I thought I would highlight some of the ones I really enjoy reading in no particular order. This is just a small selection of a large community of [...]
Julie, Josh, Luke, and I all survived the Montana de Oro trail race on Sunday! Julie and I both ran the 8k, which had about 800 feet of elevation gain (that means big hills, not little ones…). Julie was awesome and won the 8k and I finished 21st out of 70, which I guess is [...]

So far 2009 has been a bit ripe with injury. First Lizzy pulled a muscle in her chest and then about a month ago at the gym I heard the dreaded POP in my left pinky. I took some time off, got a new pair of running shoes and kicked into running mode. Two weeks [...]
The Tour of California is coming! To a location near you (in California) beginning in only 6 days. Here’s where the stages are taking place: I was initially really excited about Stage 7 ending in Pasadena – I’ve been a Lance Armstrong fan for a while (watched all 7 of his victorious Tours de France) [...]
It’s been over a month since my injury and I am finally start to feel like I am getting better. My chest still feels tight, but I can breath deeply and run and climb, which makes me so happy. I’ve been really focusing on the training that I could do the past week or two [...]
