Since then we've married, had three babies, and changed our life more than we've kept it the same. These 16 short years she's gone back and … Continue reading 2021 Whistlestop Marathon – Alicia!

2013 The North Face Endurance Challenge – Wisconsin 50 Mile
This past weekend, like most ultra races, seemed to have a bit of everything.

I guess there's my … Continue reading 2013 The North Face Endurance Challenge – Wisconsin 50 Mile
