    On Saturday, Brent and I enjoyed a nice 9 miler our on trail. (I love that we call it our trail). We were planning on taking some photos on the trail as fall is giving us so many colors that we rarely see around here. Plus fall is lasting weeks instead of just one which…

    These are the last of my photos from our trip to Oregon. It is about time that I get them posted as it is pushing almost two weeks now. I cannot believe that two weeks ago today I ran my first marathon. I cannot wait to get out there and run another one. I am…

    Last night Brent and I took a little “hike” up to Palisade Falls in Hyalite with some of our friends. It was a beautiful fall evening. It is nice to be having a fall in Montana as it does not always happen. There are so many different colors right now in the valley and in…

    It is always neat to go down into caves to see a different and unique view of God’s creation. We enjoyed hanging around the visitors center before we were able to head out on the tour. Krista and I wondered around for a few minutes and took a few pictures. It was starting to get…

    A few years ago, we started a tradition of doing a family weekend with my parents and siblings. Unfortunately, my brother and his family was not able to join us this year. We decided to go camping over at the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park for an evening. To make the trip even easier,…

    We woke up this morning, after having slept in a little tiny cabin that we rented for the night, to get ready for our last run that was longer than an hour before our marathon in two weeks. Our backs were a tad bit sore as Brent and I were cuddled up on a twin…

    So, as you know, we have had some pretty great adventures over this summer. Whether running, hiking, biking or driving, we’ve been all over the place and covered some very interesting terrain. From the bottom of the various valleys and to the tops of mountains, we have also covered some generous elevations too. I’ll start…

We headed south of Bozeman to the Gravelly Mountain Range where we had ran the half at the Madison Marathon. We had been so impressed by the scenery and wanted a chance at…

    My sister wanted to go on a walk to take pictures on my favorite trail, so of course I asked if I could go along. We started at a different end of the trail than I normally do, which was great because it gave me a new view. I cannot get over how much I…
