Trailmanners-Beaverhead 100k Contest Winner!!!

If you’re like me then you enter a ton of contests on Facebook and all over the social media outlets. 99.9% of the time we never hear back and think nothing of it. So when my favorite podcast, Trailmanners, mentioned their contest for a free entry to the sold out Beaverhead 100k I figured “why…

Our 2017 Schedule…well so far

It has taken us a little bit to get our race schedule for the year hammered out. There may be a few 5 or 10k’s that we throw in for fun but we have our “A” races and the build up all set. The hardest part for me is not registering for too many races!!…

Lake Atalanta 

Today was the kinda of morning that was just too nice to not take a few pictures. On my normal run commute to work in the morning I get to hit the trail at Lake Atalanta for anywhere from 4-10 miles. I feel blessed to have this awesome trail system less than 2 miles from…

Carson Footwear Ambassador Team!!

Sooo….. we are now Carson footwear ambassadors!!! Josh and I are so excited. I thought that there was no way they would choose me (I knew Josh was a shoe-in). When Josh text me that he was in, I was happy and jelly at the same time, but he told me to check my e-mail. I did, the surprised feelings I had were wonderful….

Altra Olympus 2.0- Review

Since they came out and I got my hands on some, the Altra Lone Peak 3.0’s have been my go to shoe. After close to 400 miles on a pair I found myself around 30 miles into the Back 40 trail race. Thanks to my trusty Mino shoe trackers I knew that this was going…

Putting together an amazing team for 2017!!

Womens Altra Neoshell Lone Peak 3.0

I have always been an Altra fan. I love the wide toe box and how they fit my feet. I have multiple styles of their shoes lining my closet. I have road and trail styles. I’ve not come across one of their shoes that I do not like. Today I want to talk about their…

This weeks segment is one that I have hit up a few times on some of my training runs from work. Its officially called “NWACC NaturPreserve” and is a short little dirt trail (0.4 mile) that goes through the natural area on the NWACC campus in Bentonville. I usually use it as my turn around…

Running…..

I’ve always ran to lose weight, but lately I have come to realize that I don’t need running to lose weight. Primal will do that for me. I need to find new reasons to run. To let the wind blow in my hair. To feel life pulse around me in the wilderness. I want to…

January 17. 2017

Day 4 of sickness. My son decided to share the flu with me. So wonderful! I miss running, but my lungs are full of mucus, so that is a no go. What I have been enjoying the last few days is Yoga with Adrian. I’ve never been into the full yogee zone and the way…
