  • Ride n Run, Rain n Sun

    So after my struggles with getting through my workout on Wed I faced similar issues on Thursday. The flash snowstorm did nothing to help my motivation and I decided that I would take Thurs off instead of Sunday and rest up a bit.Friday started off early with a 6am alarm to an incredible sunrise.

  • The Power Of Music

    I’m on a bit of a blogging roll here lately eh! I struggled to make it to the gym this morning for a 2hr workout and spin bike power session, as my motivation to do anything today was way down. I dragged my sorry butt there and literally walked into the gym and nearly turned…

  • Baja Update

    I got out for a great 2hr run this morning, but couldn’t help but spend the entire time thinking about what was going on in Baja, and of course wishing we were there for the ride! As was to be expected DART-NUUN and DART-NUUN NW Kayaks surged ahead during the canyon section and are currently…

  • Baja Travesia Started Today

    The Baja Travesia expedition adventure race started this morning in Baja, Mexico. Team Helly Hansen – MOMAR has many friends racing at the event this year and although I have been cheering for all of them, it pains me to be sitting on the sidelines for a race like this. My work situation changed so…

  • Chuckin Nuts Race Report

    This will be a bit of an abbreviated race report since I gave most of the plot away a few days ago! (This ended up being, in no way shape or form, an abbreviated race report, sorry!) Todd and I headed down to Bellingham on Friday night for Saturday’s Chuckanut 50km running event. As I…

  • Chuckanut Was A Success!

    I’m off to bed here soon as I am completely exhausted. I managed to limp through a one hour walk today and then hopped on the road bike for a 2.5hr recovery ride with a friend. Yesterday’s Chuckanut 50k in Bellingham Washington went incredibly well for me. Not only did I manage to cover the…

  • A Few More Steps In The Right Direction

    Pretty solid day of training today with a 1hr run and 2hr of mtn biking. This is not huge by any means, but it was my first ‘brick’ (back to back disciplines) workout in as long as I can remember and in and of itself that felt great! I started the day off with an…
