My motto is simple- you have to get out to find out. I love to get outside and get moving, the activity is just a consequence of what I'm feeling, the weather and what my friends are doing. I ride mountain, road and cross bikes. I've done 13 Ironman races. I ski alpine, AT and nordic. I SUP and surf, though both pretty poorly. Trail running is a blast, and of course camping is cool. But getting out isn't always about getting outside. Get out of your comfort zone at work and in your personal life. Take on a new project, make a new friend or just try that new restaurant in town that always smells good. Enjoy your life, you've only got one shot and the clock is always ticking.

Running with the UltraMarathon Man, Dean Karnazes

Yesterday I ran with the UltraMarathon Man Dean Karnazes. The GoreTex Trans Rockies is a 6 day, 113 mile run through Colorado and runners run in teams of 2. This year Karnazes is running each leg with a different person. Dean has run 100's of marathons and ultramarathons. He has written two books, UltraMarathon Man and 50/50, an account of his trip running 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 different states.
I was chosen to run with Dean by GoreTex, the sponsor of the Trans Rockies, and it was a great time. The course was gorgeous and the weather was perfect. Many runners wanted to talk with Dean, get their picture with him and just be around him. I am writing about it on Competitor.com and will have the link up on my site when it's up. For now, here is the maps and info on our run.
