Eventually though, he found his footing and a love for trail running and hikin

💾The Boys Are Back! In this post holiday, episode, the boys and I discuss everything from dogs to race plans to bathroom re-remodels.

And I would be remiss not to acknowledge what is going on in my precious city of Minneapolis. I can only say thank you to everyo

This is dedicated to the immigrants, refugees, and those who are currently living in fear, and for everyone who is doing their best to use compassion and courage to look out for their neighbors and all of those who need our help.

💾My first trail race of 2025! The Zumbro 34 Mile Endurance Run, put on by Rocksteady Running.

Besides that, he is an avid photography, active volunteer at races, a bike, run and sled adventurer, a musician, and quite frankly, a bit nerdy like yours truly.
