Snippets of Life

My favorite 4-legged adventure buddy and I got out for a little run/hike in between heavy rains today.
Just me & my shadow.
Digging out beds for a much expanded garden and got my first seeds in the ground yesterday (kale & lettuce). 🌱During these gloomy & uncertain #coronatimes, I’m finding that cultivating life is very soothing and the idea of growing more of our own food is extra appealing. Work from home means more time to devote to things like this and my upper body is going to be ripped from all this digging. 💪 #silverlinings
A truly #PennsylvaniaGray evening running one of my favorite close-to-home loops without another soul in sight.
Spent the weekend logging miles & Vitamin D. ☀️ Life is pretty scary and weird right now. I’m thankful for many acres of forest just outside my door to keep me healthy and sane while #socialdistancing.
All dat ☀️☀️☀️! Explored some new places today with this fine crew, getting those @theappalachianjourney legs on.
Snow squalls and high winds while exploring some of the game lands behind Toftrees yesterday, working to stay consistent with running even though they’re all short and slow these days.
I love planning routes, poring over maps of places I’ve never been or searching for new ways to link together places I have. From a map, you can get a sense of what a place is like but you never really know until you go explore for yourself, and there are always surprises. That’s what makes it fun. Most of the times, the rides turn out pretty darn good, but this Saturday’s ride was great. 🔥 Cowan’s Gap to the Abandoned Turnpike and back.
Back in the office today but still full of stoke on an incredible weekend in the desert. Stay tuned for bloggage and some articles on @singletracks to come!
Sunrise light at #24HOP. Playing double duty bike racer/journalist meant some sacrificed sleep to capture these moments but it is so worth it to get to do this.
Night laps at #24HOP were super fun! Racers were more spread out, so there were many moments of solitude before coming up on another person. The stars were amazing. Then you get back into #24hourtown and there’s a party happening all night long.
Holy rip these trails are so fast! 16.5 miles of singletrack in less than an hour and a half is definitely not something I’m used to. My first race lap started around sunset and it was GORGEOUS. Navigating cacti-lined trail at night while going fast requires such mental focus and it was incredible. If you can’t tell, I’m loving every minute! I was crushing too hard to get pictures on my race lap so here’s one @jeffcoylesatx snapped of me when we pre-rode this morning. Time to try to get some rest before heading back out around 3 am.
