San Juan Island 26.2

Better late than never! A photo of @kaytlyn1579 and I from this past Sunday on our way home from San Juan Island. Another 26.2 in the books for both of us. The course was new, and intense. Over 2000ft elevation gain, plus the last 4 miles were uphill-ish. Ran the first 19 miles or so at a great pace but got crushed by the second half. This is a run that doesn’t have the aid nor spectators of other bigger marathons, and because of that it’s mentally that much tougher. However, that difficulty, the physical challenge, and solitude and beauty of the course make it one of my favorite races in the US. Stoked on finishing and can’t wait until next year to do it all over again. #marathon #running #sjimatathon

Stuart & Colchuck Running

Leavenworth in the spring. Everything’s blooming. The air feels so fresh!

When you’re running the environment becomes this blur of vibrant colors.
At the same time, it feels like we figured out how to slow down time and fit in more distances, sites, and experiences into each adventure.

Can’t wait to see where our feet take us.

Ross Lake Run

24 miles out and back on the East Bank trail along Ross Lake in the North Cascades National Park.

Unbelievable weather, a gorgeous trail, and a beautiful lake. The water was this beautiful alpine-lake blue, fed by cascading creeks off of distant glaciers.

Ross Lake

Not a bad spot for a rest and fuel on our trail run yesterday. We did an awesome out and back along the East Bank trail on Ross Lake from hwy 20 to devils junction. Perfect weather and almost no one on the trail made for one of the best runs I’ve ever had. #trailrunning #marathontraining #longrun #mountaingoating

Colchuck Lake

After posting that last photo of the enchantments, @kaytlyn1579 and I decided that seeing them from a plane wasn’t enough. A weekend of trail running and bouldering hit the spot. This is Dragontail Peak towering over Colchuck Lake. The trail was totally melted out and made for an awesome run that we linked up with Stuart Lake. #enchantments #mountains #trailrunning #leavenworth #mountaingoating
