Survival…
We managed to survive this year’s Grand Teton Relay. It was a rough one for me and others on our team. Some of us were coming into it with injuries and others had minor issues during the run. I happened to have both. If you remember my post a few weeks back, you would have…

Running Injuries
Well, it is probably about time with running in for 4 years that I get some type of an injury. It finally hit me this weekend. I went on a run Friday night and by the time I finished my right foot was stiff and sore. I wasn’t able to walk on it very well…

Let’s Go Ride 200 Miles
A couple weekends ago, Brent and I went on an adventure with a couple of our friends. We took off and headed to Seattle to ride our bikes down to Portland. I was a little worried about how it would go because I had not had as many successful training rides as I wanted to…

STP
Despite only having my longest ride be 35 miles, I managed to ride from Seattle to Portland! The ride was a blast and the company was great. Now I have two century rides under my belt and in one weekend! More on the ride later!

A Note About Trekking
trek 1. To journey on foot, especially to hike through mountainous areas. I could have always used the other definition of “a slow, arduous journey” but thought that it was rarely applicable to our trip. Now for those of you not versed in the world of long distance walking, it actually is a fulfilling activity that…

Jim Bridger Trail Run
A few weeks ago, my running friend approached me and asked if I would be interested in running the Jim Bridger Trail Run. I was unsure as I had not been running much with just getting back from Nepal and having been sick for the week after getting back. I kicked my running back up…

Stone Creek
Brent and I wanted to go for a hike the other weekend, so we brought out the hiking book. We picked some place we’ve never been and went for it. Turns out, this would be a great place for me to mountain bike since I don’t like steep climbs mostly because of coming down the…

Take it Slow
As most of you know, I have been running around like a chicken lately. I hardly have the time for, well almost anything! Ha. This past weekend, my parents really wanted to see us before we headed off to Nepal. Even though it was a really short weekend getaway in Kellogg, Idaho, it was a…

Running-What are you?
I have got my self so booked solid every week, that I have meetings or some event in the morning and night most days of the week. I even throw in a lunch even now and then. I do not know how I got to this point, but there is something that I seem to…

Preparations
So… We are headed to Nepal in about five weeks and while there we will get to do some amazing things, at really high elevations. I haven’t been training much this year and my job has kept me pretty tied to a desk so my level of fitness isn’t quite where I would like it…

Run to the Pub 2013
Last weekend, I was able to run the half marathon at the annual Run to the Pub here in Bozeman. This year was special though. It was named the #2 half marathon in the United States by Runner’s World. This brought in a lot of out of towners. This is not the only reason it…

Question?
I have been thinking about creating a separate blog just for my running posts. Should I? Or should I continue just posting on thepowell blog? I would probably start posting more running specific post if I had a running blog, but am unsure if I should. Thoughts? Would you read both or prefer just one…
