This past Saturday I made a snap decision to go ride the mountain bike. I was told not to run or ski but the doctor said nothing about riding! I had 30 minutes to finish my breakfast, clean and lube the bike, check tire and shock pressure, and find my riding clothes. Yes, I said […]
10 years ago today I flew from Boston to Atlanta, GA to start my Appalachian Trail thru-hike. It would be the first step towards completing a 15 year long dream. I first climbed Mt. Katahdin, which is the northern terminus of the AT when I was just 13. While on the top I marveled at […]

The other day my mother wrote to me about a hike she did at the Tonto National Monument while on vacation in Arizona. My mother is not the athlete I am. Until recently she’s lead the typical American life of eating out too much and not getting enough exercise, if any. That was until a […]
Gyst Concepts Duffel 1-10 $99 Test Period: 1 Month I absolutely love the concept of GYST Concepts. Everyone has pulled the floor mats out of their car to change or tried their hand at being a contortionist while trying to change in their car over getting wet/dirty by changing outside of it. GYST Concepts bags […]
