Went for a rad Halloween bike ride with some rad people.

Got a job offer (which I accepted!) from my favorite company of the handful of companies I've been interviewing with. The people seem super nice and the benefits and flexibility are great. I start in a few weeks.

Successfully ran my first marathon at the most beautiful venue (and signed up for a 50...

Congrats!    Glad to hear U landed a job with a company you like.   I hope it's a great place for you!      I ran the Boston Marathon quite a few years ago; in my view, marathons are mostly a race with oneself, a challenge, unless you're top tier. I enjoyed it and hope you enjoy your long distance races.

hi hi, I'm overdue for an update - I know. Things have been hectic. I don't want to get too much into personal stuff right now just because other things in life are going better and are more interesting, but tl;dr since a few people have been asking: my ex is making things difficult with resolving our joint interests in the house we bought together...

I do most of my thinking on trail when I have alone time, and these days I don't have much alone time. Even a month ago I think I would have felt alarmed at the thought of that - not having much alone time. But these days it's a gift. My trail family feels like a real family. It's been a long time since I've...

I know the big group anxiety thing. It's been many years since I was comfortable in a large, public setting. I'm fine if I'm drinking, but I don't want to need something outside of me to be comfortable. Maybe I should try the AT next spring!
fullfeeling:
It's always magical to see the way a group gels around a common strenuous goal that everyone's invested in.  Our culture throws the word "community" around so much when we really mean people with a shared interest - at best.  A community to me is learning that Eli is always up before everybody and happy to be making eggs for all, and for my ex to treat his trenchfoot (because SOCKS ma dude), and that Eli's sister Sara always has a sensitive eye out to shifting social dynamics and will move to fix them, that if there's any trouble Dave is suddenly not as drunk as everyone else, and to see everybody realize that I will carry any load for anybody any time.  One of the great slow beauties of my current relationship has been sussing out how we work together and make our differences into strengths instead of points of contention.  I take the night shift and she takes the mornings, for instance; or that I'll brave the cold and she can take the heat.  For each other.

Reading your posts is one of the few things that consistently puts a smile on me. Your outlook is cheering, and strengthening.

I've officially finished the first section of the PCT, the desert (miles 0-700), and am now well into the second section - the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Highlights of this section include a side trip to summit Mt Whitney (tallest peak in the continental US), Forester Pass (the highest point along the official PCT route), Rae Lakes, Thousand Island Lakes, and a stop in one...

And I'm actually taking a rest day in town and will have service! Not intentional, but fortuitous 😁🙏🏻💜 so excited to share this set with you!

I'll likely have another longer trail update shortly as well, but for now, very happy to be into the Sierra section of trail! My second time summiting Mt Whitney was very different from the first. So cool to have

I'm now well over 500 miles into my Pacific Crest Trail hike 🙂

I got both a new tent, and a new pack. My old pack wasn't fitting correctly anymore and was putting pressure in uncomfortable places. I mailed it home in case it's better again in the future, but very happy with my new pack. Aaand my old tent was great but old and

A quick check in and photo dump from the Pacific Crest Trail! Mostly photos bc I don't have tons of time to write much (limited cell service, and I'm tired).

The trail is amazing! I feel like I was made to do this. I'm a bit over 300 miles (and 500 kilometers) in. Everything is beautiful, the views and people I'm meeting are incredible. It's...

I am so loving this thing I'm in the midst of. I'll keep popping in when I can, but will prob be quieter and more behind on comments for the foreseeable future. Be well 💜
