Runs To Remember
This springtime weather gets us excited for outdoor events, especially those that bring together family and friends! Some of our favorite events feature running shoes, wonderful people and causes that help the community.
PCT Goal Achieved! It’s All About The Experience
This trail really isn't about the destination. I had set out to hike every open mile of the Pacific Crest Trail in the year 2018, and that's exactly what I did. I pushed myself to my physical and mental limits, met amazing people and experienced nature in its absolute glory.
California’s Fire to Oregon’s Trail
I left off the last blog post on a bit of a cliff hanger as to whether or not I'd be skipping a section ahead of me due to a large forest fire just north along the trail. Fortunately, the trail was spared and there was no need to skip anything.
Mysterious Sounds While Hiking Alone
It has been almost a month since my last blog post, so I have quite a bit to catch you all up on. The heavy smoke from the current forest fire just north of my position and closer to the Oregon border looms overhead, blocking the surrounding mountain peaks from view. But we'll get back to that.
Trading Desert For Mountains
As I write this post, it's currently Saturday June, 9th. I've been out on the trail for about a month and a half. It's been quite a long time since my last post and a lot has happened. I've entered the Sierra Nevada mountains and have completed all 700 miles of the desert section.
New Shoes, More Desert and Hitchhiking
My feet have been saved! Since my last post, I've gotten new shoes, which very surprisingly are a full size larger. I went from a 10.5 to an 11.5! It's insane how much of an impact swelling can have on your body.
Brian’s First 100
The first 100 miles of the trail have been exceedingly challenging. More so than I had initially anticipated. I learned that my shoes are way too tight and that I’ll need a new pair.
Pacific Crest Trail Preparation
Our awesome granola baker Brian is taking a trip of a lifetime. Starting April 18th, he'll be hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, which is over 2,600 miles long and stretches from California to Washington!
