Autumn Running… Race Pondering

Posted on

For the first time in many years, as I am well rested and healthy, I am truly able to enjoy Autumn and take in the beauty through running adventures in my backyard of Boulder. 2015 has been an interesting year, race wise it was not ideal results, but besides racing woes, this year has been […]

If Light is in your heart, you will find your way home.  ~Rumi Blog en español a continuación thanks to corrextuvida.com. Accepting ones misery as I lay upon a junk-pile filth-ridden pad down by the river was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to wrap my mind around. “What the fuck just happened,” I pondered […]

Transvulcania 2014 You know you’ve been living in a good place when it’s hard to leave. I came here to race Transvulcania, which was good, but I was also able to enjoy the island for three weeks with my family which is better than any race. La Palma is a magical place and we were […]

A really hard double has peaked my interest for years and this year I dabbled with the idea months before UTMB. I thought it would be interesting and a fun experiment to see what I can handle both mentally and physically. I have dreams to partake in journeys that last much more than a 100 […]

Speedgoat 50k The Wasatch Mountains are breathtaking; in more ways than one. There is one point in the course, around mile 23 where you basically climb right up a dirt wall on your way to Mt Baldy, it was awesome! Climbing the wall I stopped to catch my breath and almost went tumbling backwards, all […]

Why do I love to run every day? It is relatively simple, I run for peace and joy and to be free. You can be free wherever you are; I always try to keep that in my heart. But sometimes it helps to rent out your house and hit the open road. A couple weeks […]

I am super stoked to share this video of Western States 2013. My amazing Parent in-laws filmed and edited, spending many hours! Bob spent all day filming at Western, getting the perfect shots before, during and after. Debbie spent countless nights editing and putting this together. I’m blessed to have such a loving and caring family who enjoys the sport just as […]

Transvulcania 2013

Tim Olson Finish by Saul Santos

Transvulcania So many good memories intoxicated my senses as I drank in the sights, sounds and smells of Transvulcania. The day’s heat penetrated the earth, wafting out smells of wildflowers, fennel and lava rock as I zig-zagged my way down to the Port of Tazacorte. Lizards zigged in and out of rocks demonstrating the way […]

Lake Sonoma 50m 2013

Posted on

Lake Sonoma 50 2013 I’ve enjoyed many runs in my life; this year’s Sonoma 50 miler was not high on my list. I went into this race debating if I should even start; my knee has been out of sorts – as of late – and I did not have much faith in it holding […]
