Boulder Creek Road Bike Ride
Our last backroads-biking trip was back in December. After our last attempt was a success (after so many failed attempts), I expected to get back out pretty quickly — but then the holidays hit, we started doing a lot of running in preparation of Jeannie’s half-marathon, and we just generally got busy, so we haven’t […]

Read MoreSan Diego Urban Canyon Explorations
I love to get out and explore the more wild areas surrounding wherever I live, but I sometimes overlook the good stuff that’s really close to home. We decided this week to explore two canyons, both within walking distance of home. Maple Canyon On Saturday we did a four mile loop, making our way down […]
Read MoreLittle Man Training
Did a short hike yesterday up at Mt. Laguna. It was only about three miles in total, but the little man walked all but probably a half-mile of that all on his own two feet. This is in part because he decided that he really doesn’t like being carried in the backpack carrier. Decided he […]

Yesterday I had an epic run. I missed last week’s 8.5 mile after work run, so it was good to get out on a sunny day here in the Pacific Northwest and run through some trees. It was a nice gradual climb and the road, which zig-zagged up the hillside kept pulling me further, enticing […]
Read MoreSuccess on Horsethief Road
After quite a few failed attempts, we finally found a great road to ride our bikes out towing our 15 month-old in his own private chariot. It’s got a great surface — not too bumpy for the little guy, has no traffic, thanks to the gate at the top, and while there are some good […]

My Favorite Images From Our Pacific Crest Trail Adventure
Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” came out a couple days ago — her story about hiking 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). While a movie being made about the trail honestly kind of annoys me, and a lot of other PCT hikers for various reasons, it did get me thinking a little bit about my […]
Read MoreAnother Unsuccessful Bike Ride
We moved last weekend. It was pretty unexpected, and a super-quick move, and we’re still working on unpacking boxes and organizing our stuff. We had the long Thanksgiving weekend that I actually had bigger plans for before we were informed that we needed to move — maybe a trip up to the Sierras or out […]

Maggie Lakes Backpack in November
Zoie, our orange and somewhat spunky cat looked at me with disdain as I slowly rolled over from a deep sleep to turn off my alarm clock. “What are you doing?” she asked. “It’s 3:00 in the morning on a Sunday — you’re planning to drive for six hours, strap on a backpack, and then […]
Read MoreMt. Laguna Bike Ride
We got off to a bit of a slow start today, so we only did a six mile bike ride, but it was nearly perfect for those six miles! It was a lightly travelled back-road on Mt. Laguna with a good surface, and it had some good climbing involved — not so much that I couldn’t […]
