For the past few months, a persistent lower leg issue has kept me from being able to do any consistent training. You might say it's been my "arch" nemesis. I know, that was a "rock solid" pun (whoa, pun-ception?) In any case, it felt great to be able to finally get out and spend some time dirtbagging around Sedona, putting in some pain-free miles, and bandito camping in the brewery parking lot. . .📷:@damonlandau . . . . . . . . . #yougetoutwhatyouputin #trailrunning #ultrarunning #devilsbridge #instagramaz #sedona #sedonavortex #aztrails #trailandkale #trailandultra #dirtbagrunners #redrocks #aztrailrunning #optoutside #goatworthy #chaseyourgoat #suuntorun #timetoplay #salomonrunning #goprohero5session #toesocksornosocks #neverstopexploring #seenonmyrun #phantomhogs #peakbagging #celebratewild #julboeyewear #getdirty #getoutstayout #igsouthwest (at Sedona, Arizona)

America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed. - Eleanor Roosevelt . . . . .I, unfortunately, am not all about speed right now. I'm trying this new thing called "properly training." It has apparently become more important now that I'm getting "old." I'm told it can also prevent "injury." . . . .📷@damonlandau . . . . . . . . . . . . #yougetoutwhatyouputin #timetoplay #trailrunning #trailandultra #grandcanyon #southkaibabtrail #brightangeltrail #tontotrail #running #seenonmyrun #suuntorun #altrarunning #zerolimits #embracethespace #phantomhogs #runsteepgethigh #trailandkale #instagramaz #igsouthwest #toesocksornosocks #salomonrunning #findyourpark #optoutside #goatworthy #chaseyourgoat #steeplife #dirtbagrunners (at Grand Canyon National Park)

Running in the Canyon is easily one of the coolest experiences to be had. This time of year, most of the water sources below the rim are shut off. That meant that @damonlandau and I needed to choose our route accordingly. We started Saturday morning at the Bright Angel TH, making our way east across the rim to the South Kaibab TH where we could refill our bottles. We then dropped down the South Kaibab for four more miles before hanging a left at the Tonto trail. This was our first time on the Tonto, and I can't wait to go back! Beautiful rolling single track for as far as you want to take it and we had it all to ourselves (apart from some big horn sheep)! We stayed on it until Indian Garden, where we once again refilled our bottles again and climbed 4200+ feet back to the rim and cold beer. . . . . . . . . . . . . #StepIntoSuperfeet #SuperSquad #YouGetOutWhatYouPutIn #AltraRunning #ZeroLimits #TimeToPlay #EmbraceTheSpace #SalomonRunning #DirtbagRunners #RunSteepGetHigh #OptOutside #GoatWorthy #wearewildtribe #running #trailrunning #GrandCanyon #InstagramAZ #IGSouthwest #ultrarunning #hiking #hikeaz #southkaibabtrail #mountainrunning #phantomhogs #arizona #arizonahiking #brightangeltrail #adventureawaits #adventuretime #adventureisoutthere (at Grand Canyon National Park)
