    I started training just over a month ago for the New York City Marathon. The first several weeks went amazing. I was feeling great and full of energy. My long runs were in the 10-12 mile range which meant that I kept enjoying some nice trail runs. I was also making sure that at least…

    I have been hitting up the near by trails lately and loving it. Several people have been trying to get me to run more trails over the last several years, but I always felt like it was a bigger time commitment. It takes at least 15-30 minutes to drive to the nearest trail and can…

    While Jess has taken heartily to the life of a marathon runner, I have enjoyed my role as the support crew. My roles include motivational speaking, hydration preparation and handling, “relaxed pace” running partner and documenting specialist. On this particular race day, I had ample time to work as a photographer. I had two opportunities…

    I am sitting on a bed at a hotel in Casper, Wyoming icing my ankle as I wait for Brent to finish working. Soon it is off to Denver! Why am I icing my ankle when the marathon is on Sunday? Well, last week I was helping set up for our church service as normal.…

    Over Thanksgiving weekend while in Cannon Beach, I had the opportunity to run in the sand for the first time. I have been to the beach several times, but it was before I started running. I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be running in this year’s Huffing for Stuffing in Bozeman. I figured that running…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    My training for my ultra began at the beginning of the month and boy has it been a trip so far. The weather has been blizzard like, freezing cold (temperatures below zero!!) and not to mention mostly extremely icy. This is much different from the warm winter we had last year. I am loving all…

    Since Brent and I got back from Oregon our Internet has been down. We will post about that trip when we get it working. We got back into town late on Sunday night due to bad roads. Brent left early Monday morning for a work trip. He got back into town tonight in time for…
