As I settle back into my life in Colorado Springs, it feels as though I’ve never left. All of my routines and rhythms are unchanged. I’m running my trails and climbing at my gym and […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
It’ll take a while for this trip to truly sink in. It was everything you could expect from a journey like this and more: joyful, heartbreaking, rewarding, frustrating, challenging, inspiring, spontaneous … the list goes […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Our second day in Lacey was similarly mellow. We went for a 10K run, then made lunch with as many of our remaining ingredients as possible. By late afternoon, we had finished working, packed up […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Before we even left for this trip, Ryan and I were adamant about one thing: our plans would always be flexible. So much so, that at the time we set out, there was only one […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
It’s hard to believe the trip as we know it ends in just a few days! My mom put it best, though, when she said that it has to end. If it doesn’t end, it […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
With many hours on the road over the last month and a half, we’ve had plenty of time on our hands to listen to music and podcasts. The genre varies a great deal. When Ryan […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
As much as our hearts wanted to climb on Sunday, our fingertips said no. There are worse places than Bend to be, though, on a sunny Sunday. I went for a run along the Deschutes […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Oregon is … lovely. Our first full day in Mosier, we did all of the things. We worked throughout the morning, then did a run along the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. We had […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
While it would be a stretch to say that we\u2019ve followed a set routine on this trip, we have certain systems dialed really well. I\u2019d like to speak to some of those. Whenever we arrive […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Ryan and I never really had to deal with the rain before this trip. There was maybe one weekend, early June, where we camped with Zach and had some rain in the afternoon \/ evening. […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Our return to the United States has been mixed. After our Tim Horton\u2019s visit, we went into the neighboring town of Trail, to walk around and stretch our legs. Trail had lovely views of the […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
At the risk of sounding supremely cheesy, we are stoked on Revelstoke. We woke up on Monday morning a little disoriented, as we had crossed into Pacific Time. It was luxurious to have a full […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
When I studied in Cuba during college, I documented my time there on this same blog. However, rather than report on day-to-day life, I wrote topical posts \u2013 food, clothing, holidays, etc. I\u2019ve been wanting […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Fridays are for fun. The thing is, most days feel like Fridays when you add adventure to them, the way we have. This Friday was no different. After what was truly a magical sunrise in […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
They call it Stormy Mondays. Sunday night, we checked the weather forecast and saw rain at 1 p.m. the following day \u2014 ideal for the smoky conditions. However, within hours of going to sleep, we […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Bidding goodbye to Bozeman, we made moves toward Missoula, the biggest town closest to Greenough. We stopped in Butte to get gas and eat lunch, and we learned some fun facts about the place. First, […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
We\u2019ve loved Bozeman. It is admittedly much hotter here than either of us expected, likely because our first night of camping was pretty brisk. However, the hot weather hasn\u2019t deterred us from some excellent explorations. […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
On Friday, we awoke at 4 a.m. in the hope of seeing wolves. Ryan whipped up some coffee and drove us to Slough Creek in Lamar Valley, a supposed wolf destination. We got there around […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Tuesday was an excellent day for wildlife. Up at 6:30, we worked from a quiet workspace above the resort\u2019s coffee shop. The coffee shop was closed and we didn\u2019t know if we were even supposed […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Prior to departing Green River, we went for a short run along the dirt road we camped on. We thought we saw animals in the distance, and sure enough, there was a group of wild […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
Wednesday was a productive work day. It was a cool, misty morning in the Poudre that turned to sun by midday. Ryan received word that his watch was un-fixable, so we returned to town at […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
You can’t have high highs without some low lows. What started as an auspicious trip kick-off turned into a nightmarish situation Monday afternoon. The dust has settled, though \u2014 we’re not out of the woods, […]<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t
