Paddle on!

Last week I took my boys to Scouts BSA Summer Camp and we had a great time. I took a canoe out and found Arty practicing his kayaking, so we went paddling around the lake together. It was so good to make some positive memories with my son in the Great Outdoors.

Mount Shasta 4th of July Race! 5 miles in 42:15!

Medal-a-month challenge: 7/12

I’ve run this race for several years now and this is my fastest time on this course yet! One thing I love about the Independence Day race is how many people I get to see, including friends and family! I love my community!

Geronimo!

We went to the Lower McCloud Falls and jumped off the rocks into 40° water below! I’m very proud of my boys for overcoming their fears and trying something new! We all made the jump, emerged from the river, and climbed the cliff up and out, then returned home safe and sound.

3rd place male in the Mount Shasta 10K!

This was a great race by @shastatrailruns on a beautiful course up the Gateway Trail!

Amazing views of the mountain but wow, that race took it out of me with plenty of hills! A few people fell pretty hard on the rocks along the way but thankfully everyone made it over the finish line!

Medal-a-month challenge: 6/12

5.84 mile run at 5:30 am? Don’t mind if I do!

Some of my friends think I’m crazy to run at all, especially early in the morning… or late at night… or in the heat of summer… or in the rain… or in the middle of winter…

Fact of the matter is that I’m a bit crazy if I don’t run. I get anxious, or angry, or just plain stir-crazy if I sit around.

Running helps my brain make the good stuff so I can calm the hell down. So I run.
