Off to the Pacific Crest Trail
The stars have finally aligned and I’ll be attempting a thru-hike of the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail this year. I’m hoping to write some extensive posts about the journey upon my return, but in the interim you can find some lightweight updates from the trail on my Substack. As these will be posted from the…

Year in Review: 2022
I hope this finds you and yours enjoying the fresh start of a new year. As I browse the photos on my phone to jog my memory, it always surprises me how much I have already forgotten from the previous year. It makes me wish I had started these years earlier – capturing the context…

John Muir Trail: Selfie Miles
“I know the scenery is going to be nice, but please try to actually get some pictures of you.” That was the last thing my boyfriend told me before dropping me off for a 3-week walk. I was fully immersed in getting a picture of the view when my GPS watch went off signaling I…

Antarctica Marathon
I told myself that the only way I could take the Monday after my trip off was if I did the write-up that I wish existed for me before I embarked on this trip. This fulfills that promise. The best way to break it down is to go through the typical stages of a race…
