October 26-30, I’ll be running 250 miles across Utah’s national parks. This is the biggest undertaking I’ve ever attempted. I’m equally terrified and thrilled to share it with you. We have less than 3 months to prepare, and training starts now.

This project is about celebrating and protecting our public lands that mean so much to me. The places I grew up exploring.

Places like these deserve to be experienced, appreciated, and protected so future generations can find their own adventures there too.

Let’s do this. 𓆈𖤓ᨒ

Officially one month out from Project 250, where I’ll be running 50 miles through each of Utah’s National Parks over five days. Seems fitting it’s National Public Lands Day⛰️🌱

I’m trying to be a little more mindful of the impact I have on the places I spend so much time in. Pick up the trash I see. Give wildlife their space. Pack out what I pack in. Leave things a little better than I found them. I think the small choices matter.

One year ago next month, I ran my first 100 miles.

Someone close to me told me they didn’t think my constant desire to push my limits was something they understood or admired.

I felt the need to explain why I wanted more. Why pushing myself this way can actually be healthy. I spent so much time trying to make something that meant a lot to me make sense to someone else.

Eventually I realized it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but me.

I want to see what I’m capable of. To keep pushing the boundaries of what feels possible for me.

So watch me succeed or fail. 31 days out
