Just wrapped up an incredible experience at the Coldwater Rumble 100-mile race, finishing in under 24 hours! This came just two weeks after tackling the ATY 6-day race, so it was quite the test of endurance. Huge thanks to Tim Vail for the ride and for inspiring me to push for that sub-24 finish. Finished with time of 23:47. Your encouragement made a world of difference!
Also, big shoutout to Jake for keeping me motivated on the trails—you really helped me keep moving when it mattered most. Congratulations to both @tvail150 and @jakefergason for their amazing performances, with Tim setting a course record in the 100k! What an unforgettable journey! 🏃♂️💪✨

Easy recovery run on the trails with @katrunner320 . It was suppose to be an easy flat course but I should have known better to ask a trail runner to keep it flat. Thank you for the miles.
Reflecting on an incredible journey “Across the Years” by @aravaiparunning brings back vivid memories of perseverance, camaraderie, and personal growth. This event wasn’t just a test of endurance; it was a profound experience that taught me invaluable lessons.
As I look back, I’m grateful for the challenges I faced and the incredible people I met. Running 316 miles may not have been what I initially aimed for, but it was a journey filled with growth, resilience, and unforgettable memories.
Running alongside **Ann Trason** @ann_trason , an incredible athlete and pioneer in the ultrarunning world, was a true honor. Her dedication and passion for the sport are unmatched, and her presence motivated me to dig deep and push my limits.
A huge thank you to my friends @mullenmommarunner@angryultrarunner@maryrunsultras who pushed me to keep going! I’ll be back next year to chase that **1000-mile jacket**! 🏃♂️💪✨ #300mileclub #acrosstheyears
### Kicking Off the Across Years Race: Aiming for 400 Miles
As I gear up for this year’s Across Years race, I’m filled with determination and excitement. Last year, I logged 333.8 miles, falling short of my goal, but this time around, I’m setting my sights on hitting 400 miles.
To prepare, I’ve been training with @crossfitfortius . Their focus on functional fitness has been invaluable in building my strength and endurance. The challenging workouts push me to improve my overall athleticism, which is essential for tackling the demands of an endurance race.
My training regimen includes a mix of long runs and CrossFit sessions that enhance my stamina and resilience. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my energy levels and recovery times, which are crucial as I ramp up my mileage.
This year, I’m ready to embrace the challenge and learn from the past. Each mile will be a reflection of my hard work and commitment. Here’s to a successful race and finally reaching that 400-mile goal! Let’s make this year unforgettable! #aravaipa #acrosstheyears #goalto400
Just wrapped up the Lake Hodges 50K in 4 hours and 30 minutes! 🚀 Finished 6th overall and snagged 1st in my age group. It was an incredible experience, pushing through the beautiful trails and challenging myself. Grateful for the support and the amazing runners out there! On to the next adventure! 🏃♂️💪🏅 Thank you to @elevationculture for the race and supporting me with the socks from @voltage_limited They felt great and ended up with zero blisters. #ultra50k #noblisters #ultramarathoner
Another great workout @crossfitfortius . I also signed up for another race before @roosters_backyard_ultra Who wants to join me in /Race/CA/SanDiego/LakeHodgesTrailFest?raceRefCode=D0G9E14m.
I usually don’t share political views but I am speechless to hear about this. Charlie to me was great family man who built a platform for Americans to speak freely and be heard. For someone to take him away from this world is a sad day. God bless his family.
Tomorrow is the day! As I prepare to line up for the Leadville 100, I’m feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. It’s been a year of dedicated training, and now it’s time to leave everything out on the trail. My focus is clear: finish strong and embrace every moment of this incredible challenge. Here’s to the journey ahead! Thank you to @leamulligan for training me and @mullenmommarunner for all the assistance getting ready for tomorrow. #Leadville100 #UltraRunning #LeaveItOnTheTrail #FinishStrong #TrailRunning #AdventureAwaits #RunningCommunity
