I've started this because people actually seem to be curious about this self-indulgent thing I'm doing.  I'm a trail runner in Oregon.  The UTMB race around Mont Blanc has been in my sights for a few years, and I'm in for 2014.  This has brought focus to my outings lately, and some interesting dreams too.

It's not just trail running!  There is plenty of hiking, thrashing through overgrowth, improvised stream crossings, or just plain bushwhacking.  I even run on pavement on occasion.  Hopefully you find these exploits informative, resonant, or just entertaining.
