Everyday should be Earth Day 🌎
Pic 1: Today in Boulder, SUP in 83 degrees. ☀️
Pic 2: Same day three years ago, running after an April snowstorm. ❄️
Same friends, same fun, worrisome weather.

I’m proud of an essay about how my senior-in-high-school son became my favorite snowboarding buddy, starting with me teaching him J-turns on the sledding hill at the middle school when he was six. I haven’t been able to bring myself to read it since it went to print because I am a sentimental fool and he’s graduating soon, but it felt great to write it and get it published by @thesnowboardersjournal , a beautiful magazine.

it’s a good thing when photos don’t come anywhere near doing an experience justice.
this was pure moonlight magic. 🌕 ❄️✨

I usually take a break from social media over the holidays, and this year was no different. It always feels kinda weird diving back in, but I value this space for sharing photos + thoughts, so here I am with a few snaps from the end of December.
Here’s hoping 2026 is indeed a happy new year. ✌🏽🌎❤️
here’s to peace on earth and good will to all.
been finding my peace this week (after almost five days with no power) roaming trails with dogs. highly recommend it.
also loving family movies and baking and all the holiday things, but balance is always good.
happy holidays, all.
Our country has some messed up history.
Was feeling contemplative while in Maryland over Thanksgiving. And since contemplative writers need to write, I opened up my laptop on the plane ride home.

I may not look happy in pics 1-2, but believe me, I was THRILLED to run the Santa Barbara Half Marathon with @hoka last weekend.
Thanks to @jwrieden for the awesome coaching, and @jackmullaney29 and @ahmedmuhumed14 (and @jwrieden and Indie👼) for bringing their @naz_elite greatness to the experience.
And thanks to @yoder for training, racing, and traveling with me…and letting me drag you to Freebirds and around IV. #IYKYK @ucsbalumni@yoder and I met on a running press trip 19 years ago because we were around the same pace on a group run. Fun full circle run last weekend.
