Pop Goes The Popcorn

June 15, 2011

The Hiking Beast

June 12, 2011

After a loooooong hibernation period, the hiking beast has emerged in its full glory! Oh hells to the yes. As I’ve mentioned 5 million times on this blog, hiking is one of my true passions.

Bolder Boulder Bonanza

May 30, 2011

I have a hard time taking myself very seriously as a runner.
