    Flaming Turtle Heads!

    Turtlehead Peak in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area just outside Las Vegas NV. I attempted it last year about this same time (due to gymnastics meet scheduling) but got lost, ran out of time and just plain wasn’t fit enough. This year though… There are new trail markers I uploaded a GPX file to…

    Running Morgan in the Dark

    The Road to Elbrus Starts Here

    Running in Elbrus Race Yet Again? Elbrus Race 2018? Skyrunning? For Real? Well I just had a really dumb idea. I received a Facebook Notice from the logistics company behind Elbrus Race. I hadn’t even considered it. Wowsers. If I train hard for only 6 weeks, can I get back to what I had achieved…
