Our Sleeping Beauty hike outside Trout Lake, WA is one of the most beautiful and most rewarding hikes we have been on. The relentless climbing up to the top of Sleeping Beauty, the rock outcrop given its name for resembling a sleeping maiden, gave way to expansive views of Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, and that pretty one staring at you in the face is the handsome Mount Adams! .

This #medalmonday is affirmation that my training is on the right track. Last Saturday, I ran the 2nd leg of the Lonestar 100K Relay with my #adventurebuddy @ultradrum. I’ll save some race details for a later post. But I managed to average a faster pace by about 40 secs than I did during the 50K here last November on a very similar course. This race also would be my 3rd trail marathon/ultra in 6 weeks. I’m excited to have an empty race calendar for a while as I’m itching lay down some big blocks of training. With the added confidence that what I’m doing is working, I’m excited to keep the momentum moving forward. .

Beautiful frosted mountain tops at Mt Kessler this morning for Frozen Toes 15k Trail Run. You actually wanted that next climb to enter the frost zone again. Loved getting off the pavement for a weekend (ok the first 4.8 were road, because #marathontraining) and enjoying the trails with @sacoop2 scroll to the last pic for a view of the trail scenery (pc: @fayettevilleparksandrec ) my @zootsports jacket served as camo up in the frost (but more importantly it kept me dry and warm in the wind chill). ❄️

There are so many trail options around @beaversbendstatepark, but I’m coming back to the Indian Nature Trail again. It had the perfect elevation profile to prepare my legs for @thecrueljewelexperience. Thanks @jenkirk72 for the trail recommendation.

It’s wasn’t the race that I wanted, but it’s the race that I needed. @trailracingovertexas Coyote Run 50K was one of the toughest races that I’ve had in a long time. I spent 2+ hours mostly hiking due to the worst cramping that I’ve experienced in a long time. To put it into perspective, my 50K split from last year’s 50M race was faster than my 50K time today. But all you can do is accept what your body has to give on a race day and learn from the mistakes that you made. Ultras never stop teaching you lessons. You just have to listen. : @ryliesisengrath

I’m not going to lie, I have been struggling over here with the mojo factor since AT100 ♀️ It’s the idea of getting up early before work, starting at dark:thirty in the cold, and following another training plan. Today I was excited to run. I was actually looking forward to meeting my girls at 5:00am and head down the dark road together giggling and telling stories. Today, I am ready! Let’s do this! .

What an honor to pace my friend @cooktraineatrace at the @wser and run on the Placer HS track. Maybe it will be my turn someday. .

I’ve been working with Danielle since February, but we’ve actually never met in person. So when we got the chance to actually run together, recovery be damned. We got in a fun mix of trail, hills and pavement around Arbor Hills. And then she dropped me on the last climb at the finish. ♂️

I did it! I earned this giant @thecrueljewelexperience buckle. This race was a rollercoaster of emotion from feeling that I was way over-matched in the first 20 miles to finishing the last 20 miles stronger than I have in any ultra. I’ll have so much more to share once we get home and I catch up on sleep, but huge thank you to my pacer @cooktraineatrace and my crew @ultrafireal. #crueljewel100 .
