These mountains are real and I'm already missing them. Mother nature can show you her nurture and harsh sides, but you get through it and become a better man or woman. She makes you dig deep to reveal who you really are and if you get through it, you've done that much to mature. Just be sure to give the mountains the respect that it needs. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner#igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn @instarunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei (at Western States 100)

(2/3) Last year 2016, I had the honor to pace a runner who entered his first 100 mile race, being the Western States. As a newcomer to the sport, I was able to talk to him about his running experience and what he does for a living. The runner Bill Robinson is quite extraordinary having run the Boston marathon and the Western States amongst prestigious races. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #westernstatestraining #seeyouinsquaw #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #runwild #igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #takeahike #dwn #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn #runlife #wser #ws100er #westernstates100 #bib329 @instarunners @worlderunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @runwild @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei (at Western States 100)

Day 1:Western States training began Saturday, going from Robinson's Flat Campground to Foresthill Elementary. I had to stop short of 7 miles at Michigan Bluff because I had to be at work, so unfortunately I missed out on running the rest of the course, especially seeing a part of the trail where I had volunteered for trail maintenance the week prior. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #westernstatestraining #seeyouinsquaw #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #runwild #igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #takeahike #dwn #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn #runlife #wser #ws100er #westernstates100 @instarunners @worlderunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @runwild @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei (at Robinson Flat Campground)

Last November I ran my first 100 mile race and it's been a life changing moment for me. A month from now I'll be running my 2nd 100 miler, but this time it's the most prestigious race and the race of my dreams, the Western States. I'll be toeing the start line along with the elites and runners all around the world for what's been known as the worlds earliest 100 mile endurance run. I'm truly honored to be part of this event and I can't believe I'll be in squaw valley 30 days from now! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #tbt #throwbackthursday #seeyouinsquaw #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #runwild #igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #takeahike #dwn #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn #runlife #wser #ws100er #westernstates100 @instarunners @worlderunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @runwild @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei (at Beals Point)

Super stoked getting these new products by Merrell. The updated Trail Glove and Bare Access line looks amazing. I hope they're just as great as its predecessor! 36 days left for training and finally the Western States. Can't wait to train in these new shoes. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #runwild #igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #takeahike #dwn #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn #runlife #wser #ws100er #westernstates100 @instarunners @worlderunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @runwild @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei

Had a chill day in Santa Cruz for an escape from reality. Can't wait for the weekend to do a little more escaping! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• #runner #trailrunner #ultrarunner #runwild #igrunner #instarunner #dowhatsnatural #takeahike #dwn #mynature #merrelloutside #fallingformerrell #outperform #runitfast #runnershighvision #run #trailrun #trees #nature #befree #mountainlove #beinspired #inspiredbytrn #runlife #wser #ws100er #westernstates100 @instarunners @worlderunners @igrunners @trailrunnernation @trailrunnermag @runwild @outsidemagazine @merrelloutside @rei (at Santa Cruz, California)
