I am obsessed with this picture. I took this recently when I hiked Mt. Columbia. 😍🌄💐🌼

I’m caught somewhere between relief, happiness, fear, antsyiness and total, total, total exhaustion.

This weekend, I summited Longs Peak with a friend. For those unfamiliar with the 14ers in Colorado, it’s one of the hardest mountains above 14,000 feet to summit in the state.

Add heavy fog, insane wind and bitter cold, and you have an already-treacherous route made that much more difficult with slippery rocks.

It challenged me — physically, mentally and emotionally — more than anything I’ve ever done in the outdoor space. We spent most of the journey to the summit completely terrified and doubtful we’d actually get there. But then we did. And while the fog enveloped the top so we could barely see people 20 feet away, we had a little celebration before strapping our helmets on and heading back down.

Blue sky came out for most of our descent - a reminder that sometimes the peak of a challenge won’t reward you in the way you think. That you may have to push a little farther out of your comfort zone than you think.

It’s been three days since we summited and I still have bruises, a sore wrist from catching myself during a fall and faint numbness as the feeling in a few fingertips slowly returns. Probably a little mental exhaustion. But looking back now, I feel mostly pride. I overcame a lot to get up there and back in one piece.

They challenge me like nothing else, but perhaps that’s why I love mountains so much.

I don't normally post pictures of parking lots, but look at those clouds! This is the #dirtlot on the way to the #summit of #pikespeak. Even driving to the 16-mile lot was nerve-racking, so I'm glad we caught the #pikespeakshuttle the rest of the way. #devilsplayground #devilsplaygroundpikespeak #14er #14ersofcolorado #colorado #coloradosprings #clouds #nofilter https://www.instagram.com/p/B1lzE9pl50J/?igshid=1o7oh79h4tqqf

⛰ Wild and free, on the slopes of Mt. Antero. This beautiful bighorn ewe was high above the rest of the herd, probably acting as lookout while the others grazed. This was our first sighting of bighorn sheep at Antero, although we’ve seen mountain goats here many times. ⛰ #Colorado #14ers #mtantero #14ersofcolorado #bighornsheep #ewe #wildandfree #collegiatepeaks #coloradowildlife #naturelovers #nature #earth #wildlifephotography #rockymountainhigh #bornfree #dayoff #camping #roadtrip #phenomenalgems #rocksandminerals https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ensg6nCL8/?igshid=1tk88oaaq3kc8

Mt. Evans | 14,265 ft

Colorado, June 2018

My first time on top of a 14er!! Although I drove to the top it was still a very special experience. I had just come from 500 ft elevation so I could definitely notice the difference in the air. I saw tons of mountain goats and sheep, which was also a first for me!

I have a lot of unfinished business with road races. But let me tell you - I’m sick of the numbers. The splits. The paces. The rankings. The exact mileage. Number of repeats. The comparisons, the stats, the letdowns when I don’t reach a goddamn number that I created for myself.

So, like last summer, I’m hanging up road racing for the season. Instead, I’m focusing on why I love running: the places I go and the people I’m with.

In these mountains, a mile can take 7 minutes or 40 minutes. A two-hour span can include 16 miles or 6. Numbers don’t matter in this terrain. You get to feel wild instead. You get to experience nature. You get to find your roots and get dirty and dusty and fulfilled and tired and light as air, all in one go.

Running in this kind of rawness fills me more than any road race. I’m not competing. I’m not training. I’m not comparing.

I’m living.
