Coconut Ginger Chicken
I know, I know… I’ve been slacking not only on food blogging, but blogging in general. Sorry all. Maybe life will start calming down a bit more. Who knows? Sometimes when I am crazy busy I find myself blogging more. I think the reason I have not been blogging lately is because I was feeling…

Grand Teton Relay – The Beginnings
For the last several months, I had been putting a team of 12 people plus 2 volunteers together for the 180 mile Grand Teton Relay. Last year I had heard of this relay, but I unfortunately did not know enough runners to get a team of 12 together. This year, a guy I knew wanted…

One Backpacking Trip
A few weekends ago, Brent and I took some friends up to Pine Creek Lake that we had discovered last year. To be honest, I didn’t really want to go because there was a good chance that it was going to rain. Brent and our friends still wanted to go, so I of course went…

Early Morning Grotto Falls Hike
We had some company come into town this past weekend. One of which had never been to Bozeman. We decided to get out the door early in the morning on Saturday and head up to our wonderful Hyalite for a quick hike before exploring the town. It was a very chilly morning. So chilly in…

After a very long morning on Saturday, Brent and I took the chance to try out another new hike. It was just what I needed to get my mind off of the early day. I ended up going into work for several hours in the morning. We were having computer issues and I knew Friday…

A traveling day…
After my half marathon in Three Forks, MT, Brent and I decided to take a few detours that lead us farther away from home. We decided to hit up the Patagonia outlet store in Dillon, MT and we were already about 30 minutes closer because of the race. We decided why not just go! They…

Homemade Cherry Jam
Brent came home with a huge bag full of cherries from his mom when he was in Oregon for that brief moment. We enjoyed a ton of them, but I knew we were not going to be able to enjoy them all before they went bad. I decided to take a shot at making some…

Headwaters Bank Run – Half Marathon
Saturday Brent was going to take the opportunity to hike the Bridger Ridge, so I went ahead and registered myself for another half marathon. I was not going to hike, so I wanted something to do to keep myself busy. What better than running a half marathon? Brent was gone the previous weekend for STP…

Ice Baths vs Chocolate Milk
Last summer during my marathon training, I spent 10-15 minutes after almost all of my long runs sitting in an ice cold bath. This year, there have been no ice baths. Instead I have been having a wonderfully tasty glass of chocolate milk after every long run. Even on the short runs when I am…
