    Finally! This is one hike I have attempted a few times now, and have had to turn around due to snow, high water or by losing the trail. We were invited up by some friends (these ones in fact) and had a great time on the 11 mile round trip trail. I’ll let the pictures…

    Jess, the dog and I headed just outside Bozeman for the 4th of July holiday weekend to Battle Ridge campground. It is only about 45 minutes out and usually has several sites available. Due to the high camping volume of the weekend I headed up early to secure a spot. The last one.

    A couple weekends ago, Brent and I headed over to the Bitterroot Valley for our good friends wedding. We also were their wedding photographers. I am sure we will post a few pictures at some point. It was a fun weekend.

    Several weeks ago, Brent and I decided to wonder off in the mountains for a decent length hike after a Sunday service at Venture. We headed out in the early afternoon towards the Spanish Peaks. These are by far my favorite mountains that can be seen from the valley floor. We took an easy 7…

    As is my now tradition for Marathons, I try to see Jess along the course and take some pictures of her running. This time, I actually got some decent shots.

    What do you do with all those medals and race bibs from over the years? I have been wanting to create something to display my race bling for the past couple of years, but I had decided on anything. My sister knew that I wanted to do something, so she went and bought me some…

    On May 9th, my twin and I woke up early in the morning and prepared for my 6th marathon and her 2nd. We both got up early enough to eat some food and then hit the pillow for another hour worth of sleep. It was a chilly windy morning in Fargo with a feel like…

    As Jess wrote earlier, we visited Gardiner, MT and Yellowstone a couple weeks back for some R&R. It was a great weekend! We hiked around Mammoth Hot Springs, ran a snowy trail, soaked in the Boiling River and relaxed at the Gardiner Guest House. Here are a few pictures from my viewpoint.

    Brent and I took Christmas Day as an opportunity to hit up our favorite running trail, South Cottonwood Trail. We had a blast that day enjoying the snow.

    Nike+ sent me this video giving me a review for my runs in 2014. I didn’t log all of my miles and I didn’t have a good marathon year, but this is still a fun video. I am excited to see what 2015 brings. Not sure if I will run a marathon, but who knows!
