#takelessdomore

Missing the trail this morning. Sometimes I really miss being a backpacking Guide and other times I’m so glad I’m out of that game. Maybe on different terms it would’ve been more enjoyable. Either way, there was something very satisfying about being outside most of the year. Sitting at a desk 40 hours a week just isn’t for me. . . . #REIAdventures #OptOutside #forceofnature #sweatydirtyhappy #AppalachianTrail #AppalachianTrials #thetrek #trektheAT #whiteblaze #greatsmokymountains #GSMNP #Smokies #hiking #backpacking #hikingguidelife #takelessdomore #teamspandits #seeninspandits #altrarunning #embracethespace #zerolimits #thefutureisfemale https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs-jO4KlWFt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nwu7cg7wvk6z

A last minute decision to take a 6-Mile sunset hike. The Rainbow Lake Loop didn’t suck. . . . #blueblaze #natureconservancy #thenatureconservancy #tnc #rainbowlake #rainbowlakeloop #runmillinocket #100milewilderness #cairn #takelessdomore #altraheadtotoe #embracethespace #teamaltra #toesocksornosocks #teamspandits #seeninspandits #sunset #vista #goldenroad #goldenhour #mainewoods #northmainewoods #sweatydirtyhappy #optoutside

Here’s a 1 minute preview. A full video on the Long Trail FKT is up and linked in my profile (first link). Hopefully you like it, pretty wild experience out there! . . . #optoutside #takelessdomore #wekeepyououtdoors #adventure #runsteepgethigh #withguthook #clymblife #terrex #thetrek #outdoor #fkt #getoutside #choosemountains #freeoutside #doepicshit #mountains #noboundaries #wanderlust #hike #backpacking #choosemountains #travelstoke #ultralight #trailrun #sixmoondesigns #yearofthefkt #vermont #longtrail (at Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0raygHFSnx/?igshid=i6cp95qcydjm

New Mexico has been killing it with the sunsets recently. So thankful to be able to watch the Sun rise and set on this silly commute to Canada from Mexico. . . . . #cdt2019 #cdtcoalition #newmexicotrue #takelessdomore #thetrek #thruhike #sunset (at New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxSL54jFSCg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rcnjz8i32rfi

I pushed back starting my FKT (speed record) attempt one day, until tomorrow, for a couple reasons. But first, here’s a clip of the video I made about my training. The full video is on YouTube on the Freeoutside channel. It’s only a couple minutes long so you should like and subscribe to the channel. So, one reason I didn’t start today is after about 285 miles down to the border I felt as if I would be starting out without a proper resupply and would be trying to wing it through the first section. Another reason is I have a weird rash on my hand and wanted something to get it under control. Overall, yesterday afternoon I just decided today wouldn’t be the day. Either way I will be starting tomorrow morning! . . . #optoutside #takelessdomore #wekeepyououtdoors #arizona #arizonatrail #exploreaz #azt2019 #terrex #adidas #thruhike #thetrek #outdoor #withguthook #hiking #hikertrash #getoutside #camping #desert #noboundaries #wanderlust #hike #backpacking #takeahike #choosemountains #travelstoke #ultralight #live https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4lFISFou6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6by43poujc19

Had a shorter day with some rest yesterday now that there are just two days before the sleepless nights begin. I put a link in my profile to a page that should explain everything about my upcoming FKT attempt and also a link to live tracking that will activate as soon as I start Friday. . . . . . . #optoutside #takelessdomore #wekeepyououtdoors #adventure #arizona #noboundaries #wanderlust #hike #backpacking #thruhike #arizonatrail #exploreaz #azt2019 #terrex #adidas #timetofly #thetrek #outdoor #withguthook #hiking #hikertrash #getoutside #camping #desert https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzJ4WilY_J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a4ic9h5apvk7
