I’ve been somewhat slacking of late in my writing, too much work, too much wandering, and just too much scatter brained-ness going on. While I try not to live in the past, its always good to take a moment to reflect, remember and relish all the wonderful things one has done. 2015 was an amazing year, some amazing highs, some tough spots, but overall full of friends, fun and adventure. First a quick synopsis of a few stats, because I’m geeky like that, then some photographic highlights from the year.

Since my last post about UTMB way back in September I’ve been to the Eastern Sierras for some fall running, scrambled a number of flatirons, spent a week in Zion canyoneering, snagged several days of back country skiing, had a feature article published in the inaugural ‘Boulder Running Journal’, and spent the holidays in California. Life has not been short on action and fun, and when 2015 is all said and done I’ll have spent 17 days traveling on airplanes, visited five different countries, seven different states and summited Green/Bear/Sanitas a cumulative 96 times. Here’s to a great 2015 and hopefully and even better 2016.

Celebrating the win with my sister and nephew, best High-fiver ever. Mississippi 50, 3/8/15.
