I would like to start this post by welcoming my little lion man to the world. Tristan Alexander Olson was born on August 5th at 2:00pm and weighed in at 6.05 lbs and 19 inches long. What a big dude! We are so completely in love with him and are excited to see how this huge blessing to our lives makes life even more grand!
The week before the birth we took a little video of me experiencing running pregnant. I know this in no way lets me know what my wife and many others go through as a human develops in their belly, but i’m sure you’ll be entertained to watch me run around with a 17 lbs watermelon duct taped to my belly…Enjoy!

He has now joined our lives and every moment is pure bliss! We are looking forward to showing him this great world and exploring our back yard/trails. We are already taking him on little walks out on the trails and look forward to testing out our new BOB Revolution stroller with our car adapter for our Britax car seat. Britax and BOB have been kind enough to set us up with all of their finest gear so he can enjoy the trails and enjoy nature as soon as it is healthy for him. My wife and i spend countless hours exploring nature and i hope to instill this love i have for momma earth with him.

Training after WS
After WS i took it nice and easy and just enjoyed running in my backyard mountains. It’s nice to take time and do what i love, just run. I got my mileage back up to 100 or so before Tristan arrived.
With all this excitement it has been tricky to get tons of training in for Waldo 100k this coming weekend and Run Rabbit Run 100m in September, but i’ll make it work. My Mother and Father in-law have been here to help a little this past week which has given me some time to get a little bit of sleep and a few runs in. I’m anticipating some fun times running with friends in the woods and i look forward to getting my racing legs firing again.
After the Run Rabbit Run we’ll be putting on our RD’ing hats and finishing logistics for our race, the Enchanted Forest Wine Run Half-Marathon and 5K! Tristan will be there to root everyone on. So if you’d like to meet him, enjoy some good food and wine and dance the day away with some bluegrass, come and check out our race which is September 29th!

Congratulations from scott & Sydney Jordan, med volunteers at ws100. when Syd was a baby she loved to get in the pack and hit the trails which gave her mom a nice break and me a nice hike. Very handsome fella! Have fun!
Thanks Scott,

Tim, I really enjoyed our time together and run in your beautiful hometown of Ashland, OR. Love your son, for he is precious! Love your Wife, for she is your partner/lover for life! Miss you guys already!
So lovely! It’s all good! OXOX
I love when your blogs pop up! Your writing is beautiful, you are so inspiring!
Also, Your wife and son are beautiful!
Congrats!! So happy for you!
Thanks for reading Nicki!
As you know, having a son is the best
Hope you’re well
Loved the video!! Will share with Jim!!
So how much faster would you say you are when you lose the watermelon weight? Might give me some inspiration to lose my virtual watermelon.
Ps. Congratulations!
Since I’ve dropped the watermelon weight leg turn over is much more efficient…
That’s all I needed to hear. In the next nine months, I plan to lose that 17 pound watermelon! 😀 Can’t wait to meet yours! 😉
My watermelon? Lol
The best part is its mostly water weight…
Krista and Tim, Your video put a huge smile on my face! Too funny…what I want to know is how did the “baby” taste after you finished the run?!?! (:
Congratulations! That watermelon video was the best laugh I’ve had in a long time.
The beer came out of my nose and then trickled down my computer screen! Thanks for the visual Timmy! Congrats to you and Krista once again!
Lol, glad you enjoyed it! I chuckle every time I watch it too. Fun times, come and visit anytime to see our little man.
Cheers
Your little boy is adorable!! I have little boys also. I would like to suggest a different style baby carrier for you though-a wrap. The brand of the one I had was Maman Kangaroo. It holds the baby much tighter against your chest for a lot less bouncing, so it’s much safer and more comfortable for him and the person carrying him. You can even use it to carry him sling style or on your back when he’s bigger. Enjoy your son!
Thanks April,
Actually right now I’m using a Moby wrap which sounds just like what you are talking about.
Be well,
Love the video. It just shoes how down to earth ultrarunners are. Hope to be able to run with you one day.
Felicidades! It’s great to see you have him out enjoying the trails.
Congratulations Tim! You have a beautiful Child, a beautiful wife and a Dad’s proud beautiful smile.
Congrats! Super cute. Have fun at Waldo 100- cheering for all you guys.
Super Cool Tim! I have two young boys and every single day, I understand even more clearly what my purpose is and I’m sure you will too! It truly is a honor to be able to be a ‘dad’.
BTW, can’t wait to see and hopefully meet you at Pinhoti. My first 100!
Thanks Dan! Having a boy is pretty incredible.
Looking forward to Pinhoti! Good luck on your first one, it will be very rememberable. Hope to connect with you there.
cheers
