Tough Mudder: The Great NorthEast, Maine

Tough Mudder: The Great NorthEast, Maine

For the record: I apologized face to face to a kick ass Tough Mudder employee this weekend.   I confessed that I was a diehard Spartan in the past, and had fallen victim to the Hatfield/McCoy type rivalry (or simply middle-school-esque type drama) that somehow evolved between those who bleed orange and those who bleed red and black.   I read the Outside Magazine article.  And though I tried to Continue reading →

Prior to my entrance into the world of ultramarathon, I had always imagined hallucinations to include terrifying scenarios. The kind of things that I'd have to remind myself were not real. Being chased by unidentifiable monsters that were out to get me. Hearing creepy voices calling to me in the … [Read More...]

7 Things Every Runner Should Do At Least Once in their Lifetime

There are two covenants that I hold dear when it comes to running. First: never take running too seriously (unless you are literally getting paid to win races, which I am not).
