Finally got covid, and it absolutely put me on my ass for the past four days. Been feeling like a sack of potatoes and dreaming back to Glacier, back to the glory days when I distinctly did not feel like potatoes. So here's more GNP. Deal with it. After our rainy day of humble pie Sam and I accepted that our original trip was not going to happen, and we elected to skip Cleveland and Merritt in favor of more trail miles and making it to Logan Pass by the end of day three in order to meet with crew and @emilyhawgood and @alexiscrellin who would join us for the final two days. We had to get creative right out of the gate on the Glacier trip. Sam caught a stomach bug and was throwing up the night before. We didn't have any flexibility to push the trip back, so he committed to at least starting and we would just go from there. The Glacier trip was a great reminder that we play in the mountains only as much as they allow. There's no conquering, no taking, no pushing beyond what's safe in the current conditions. We didn't come close to our goal of linking up all the 10k peaks, but we had a wonderful five days in the Park. Tomorrow morning, @samlinnet and I head out to link up the six peaks in Glacier National Park over 10k feet (roughly 150mi and 55k ascent). It's a dream years in the making, and a culmination of my desire to connect my running/adventuring with more climate activism. Photo dump from the first half of summer. There are a lot of worse things than good people, happy dogs, and the first taste of alpine in the summer. Wildflowers, long days, jumping into lakes and new experiences. Reckon I want to be a funhog when I grow up. Snow. Rock. Snow. ❤️ MT summers. It's like an alpine oreo, and I love oreos like I love climate action — we're bringing climate action to life at @footprintsrunning and every donation right now is matched dollar for dollar! Huge belated congrats to @emilyhawgood , fifth female at Western States! Over the months and years I've gotten to see just how much work she puts in to perform at this high a level, and spoiler alert — it's a ton. And she manages it with a permanent smile and great positive attitude at all times. It's annoying, frankly. Last week I had the special opportunity to join @protectourwinters on Capitol Hill to talk with members of Congress and government officials about climate action.
