Outdoor runs are shorter in this cold. -25 degrees, eye-cicles, and three layers of clothes. Yet sun rays and long shadows promise days are only getting longer from here. #winterrunning #yeg #trailrunning #running

Weather very rarely keeps me from running outside. Fresh air, sunshine, and trees are as essential as the physical run. Today’s -17 with a wind chill made it feel like -23. #trailrunning #winterrunning #running #yeg #canada

“Why do we live here?” I was asked last night referring to the frigid dark. “Are you kidding?” I thought. “The next day’s shimmer, of course!” Trail Dog agrees. Witness today’s winter long run in the #yeg river valley in -15. Also, new ice bug shoes ftw. #trailrunning #winterrunning #canada

I can’t get enough of the ice pancakes. They decorated my long run today. What a stunning Saturday to be #trailrunning in the #yeg river valley.

All recovered from my ultra. First longish run this morning in Edmonton’s beautiful river valley. Helped Jen figure out the route for ‘Warm Hands, Warm Hearts’ - a race to support the unhoused with mittens and hats.

Forcing teachers back to work is NOT about AB children; it is about power, greed, and sloppy governance. If the AB Gov they really cared about children, they would support teachers' working conditions. Simple as that. #abgov #ata #alberta #albertateachers #teacherstrike #ableg #abpolitics

Finished the #CappadociaMediumTrail ultra yesterday- 63k, 2000m gain. Challenging race, HOT, fun surprises (natural rock tunnels and scrambles). Views were incredible. Racing an international Solomon event was entirely different from homegrown ultras. 10/10 experience. #TrailRunning #ultramarathon

All registered for tomorrow’s CMT ultra in #Cappadocia . It was pretty surreal walking into race registration during the mosque’s call to prayer. Here we go!! #trailrunning #CappadociaUltraTrail #Turkey

Just off the water from an amazing camping and kayaking trip off the coast of Kayakoy, Türkiye 🇹🇷. Gentle aquamarine was paired with 6 foot swells at times. Explored coastal caves. Unfortunately, bad weather made us pull out early. #Türkiye #Turkey #kayak #paddle #paddling #adventure #travel

Second training run in Turkey today (still suffering from jet lag) but got up into the hills for my first view of the Mediterranean. Hot AF. #trailrunning #Türkiye #Dalaman
