Best campsite ever, Alpine Lakes Wilderness

It's been a while, but don't worry-- we're still running! 

Our big event for 2025 was Devil's Gulch 50 miler on 12 July in Wenatchee, WA. To train for this longer distance, we did our traditional Peterson Ridge Rumble 20 miler on 13 April in Sisters, OR, then Orcas Island 50k on its brand new date in June (rather than the end of January). We were diligent with our speedwork, heat training, back-to-back longer runs, and LOTS of elevation.

When it came time for our big race, Ann and Kellen finished strong, Rachael rocked her half marathon, and I had a DNF after getting hot spots early and visiting the aid station medics for the first time ever (at two of the aid stations).

With that accomplished, we moved on to the adventure portion of the summer. Fastpacking 50 miles around Three Sisters, a plan B C D E van trip running in North Cascades and up to fire lookouts, and a backpacking trip with the most perfect alpine lake camps.

We have so many adventures planned for the rest of 2025, and we're already daydreaming about 2026. How has your summer been?

24 for 2024

Top of Saltzman 2024   Susan and I decided to run 24 miles to kick off 2024. As I was looking through our previous routes, I found one called ' 24 mile taper run ', which seemed perfect - how hard can a taper run be? I didn't scrutinize the route closely. Nine miles in, I realized we had to run from the bottom to the very top of Saltzman. Who does that as part of a taper? Apparently, we did, ten years ago. Upon reaching the summit, I had Susan take a photo in the same spot as before. It felt great to push ourselves, which we plan to continue in 2024. Same route, different year -- 2014 Honesty, I love that we are still running routes we created 10 years ago, may be a bit slower though but who cares. I love that for us!

Deception Pass 25k: Race Review

Welcome back to our blog and our only race review of 2023! This time, we're sharing our experience at the Deception Pass 25k – a true PNW trail runner's dream in the heart of Deception Pass State Park.  A Weather Miracle! We feel incredibly fortunate about the weather during the race. Having known the 50k runners battled through some pretty tough conditions the day before, we geared up for the worst. But, as luck would have it, we were greeted with near-perfect weather on race day. Clear skies, gentle breezes, and just the right amount of sunshine made our run more enjoyable than we could have hoped for. Lollipop Loops: A Sweet Surprise One of the most exciting aspects of the Deception Pass 25k is its infamous 'lollipop loops'. These trails, winding and unpredictable, add an element of surprise and fun that you don't often find in other races. Every twist and turn brought a new landscape into view; we ran through rocky trails, dense forest and a seaweed laden beach...

2023 - The Year of Type 2 Fun

By -

Before we dive in let's level-set on the fun scale. Many outdoor enthusiasts use it to measure the type of fun they have or have had. Here are the different levels of fun ( borrowed from REI ): Type 1 Fun: Enjoyable while it's happening. It's straightforwardly fun and pleasurable. Type 2 Fun: Not necessarily enjoyable in the moment but becomes fun in retrospect or when sharing the story with others. Type 3 Fun: Not fun at the time and not fun in retrospect, but often leads to personal growth or a sense of achievement. 2023 started as type 3 fun for me. I was dealing with the loss of my mom, working for a toxic, gaslighting boss, and then losing my job at the end of January. I wasn’t upset about losing my job– it was an awful situation– but that is a story for another time. I was not excited about looking for a job when almost every tech company laid off folks. But this is a running blog, not my life story blog (though sometimes these things are very intertwined). Some peopl...
