Testing new camp cookstove in the comfort of the garage. Tonight’s menu… seared salmon with steamed broccoli over rice Outside but not outside. 🤓 #glamping #salmon #campingfood #carcamping #campinglife #testingnewgear #castiron #healthyliving

This is the opposite of ‘Leave No Trace’ principle when visiting the trails. Take EXTRA effort to ensure that we carry out all our belongs, including ALL the trash. I don’t believe the wind blew the glass bottle out of the trash can and into the woods. This is definitely the fault of another human being. Leave the trails just as you found it. #optoutside

Here’s why its important to stay healthy, fit and limber… to keep up with his guy 🐶 Also it’s why it matters what goes on my feet. Shoes with traction, socks that don’t hold water, lube that make sure I don’t get blisters. #traildog #waterdog #trailtherapy #dogtherapy #blisterfree #optoutside #neverstopexploring @thenorthface_trail @squirrels_nut_butter

2024 Memorial Day weekend at Frozen Head State Park. 4 days, 3 nights. Saturday campsite #9 at The Cove Campground. Had a bit of everything with the weather over the weekend. Thunder/lightning storms at night, foggy mornings, soupy humidity during the day ⛈🥵😎 Traversed around the of the park, covering about 28 miles in days. Got to see some of landmarks of The Barkley Marathon course. Witnessed 2 guys going down the park line section. Think they were taking the off-trail/B-line route to Brushy Mountain Had a great time. Not in a hurry to go back anytime soon. Can’t wait till the next trip. #frozenheadstatepark #carcamping #trailrunning #trailrunninglife #campfire

Nothing to see at the top. Fog has got everything covered. #frozenheadstatepark

FHSP… you either know or you don’t #frozenheadstatepark

Interesting POV with the reflection of the fire in the window of the hatchback 😎 #firepitonthedriveway

From this morning's 10K road race… - getting passed seconds before crossing the finish line 🏁sucks (great job 👍🏼 to the gal in the green shirt) - I know how to endure/suffer well 😅; - running form/economy matters a bit more on the road; - is that my blood 🩸or the raspberry @humagel ? - shorter distance races offer a different “hurt” than longer ones. One is no better or worse than the other; - I will run for 🥯, 🍌, and Welch’s fruit 🍑 🍓snacks - it’s nice to be done before lunch 🍜 - coming in 2nd in my age group ain't so bad (not so humble brag 😇) #roadrunning #running #roadracing #10krun @potomacriverrunning #type2fun @welchsfruitsnck

For the Love of God, why do I have a running race bib?! 🤦🏻‍♂️ About 3 months ago, at the last few miles of an ultra, I distinctly whispered out loud, to myself, “We are not doing this anymore.” Well, guess I didn’t mean short road races. 🥸 I will admit, I have no business racing, especially on the road. People will witness my patheticness 🤣. There won’t be any bushes to hide behind. It’ll be short but intense. And I’ll be running in a pair of 2-year-old shoe …my excuse for my pace on Sunday 🤓 My 10k PB was 9 years ago. The last 10K road race was 4 years ago at this exact very very hilly 10K race by @potomacriverrunning Goals for this race: 1) Find out where my 🦵🏼 , 🫁 , ❤️ and 🧠 are when I rev the engine hard #vroomvroom 2) can slow down, but no walking 3) Focus on my running form 4) have me some type 2 fun 🤩 Btw, I paid for Type-2 fun. I ain’t a sponsor athlete 🤡 If I look very/too serious Sunday morning, smack me a little bit. 😜 🖖🏼 #roadrunning #running #roadraces #type2fun #10krace @saucony

I’m a few days removed from a running-related event this past weekend. So much happened. I’m still taking it in. Here are the Top 5 moments… 5. Michael Johnson was 10 feet from me as he shared stories from his 🥇🥇🥇🥇Olympic years. 4. The new Wahoo treadmill… yep, I ran on it and geeked 🤓 out with the brainiacs behind their creation. 3. Met and talked up a storm with Tina Muir @tinamuir88 . Can’t wait to dive into her new book, Becoming a Sustainable Runner. 2. The great Scott Jurek, I had him to myself for a bit before he got onto the stage. 1. John Kelly, one of the goats. I’m 1 step closer to getting ‘it’. #youknowifyouknow I’m still taking in every single story, discussion, and conversation from these great minds. The knowledge and wisdom from them imparted to me will be put to great use, I promise. Bonus: BAA wouldn't let me hold up the Boston Marathon Trophy 🏆😡🤪 #running #trailrunning @runshowusa @mjgold4 @scottjurek @randomforestrunner @wahoofitnessofficial #olympics #boston

How could I miss out on @runshowusa . All things related to running, right. 🤓 I might be the first inline to get in. 🥳 #running #runnerd #trailrunning #boston @skechersperformance @bostonmarathon @marathonsports @pumarunning @thetrackatnewbalance
