I almost missed my flight home last week, and I totally feel like a celebrity superhero mega-champ about it. The real kicker is, this genius was waiting in the airport for an hour before boarding time... at the wrong gate. Basically, I made a huge mistake I'll never make again. But hey, it's a pretty funny story.…

Sometimes people say things that resonate in our hearts forever. I'll never forget one particular night in a tiny apartment in Cuzco five years ago. A small group of yoga students were lounging on the living room floor, enjoying an indoor picnic and grounding from a San Pedro ceremony, when a young shaman to-be opened…

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I'm definitely not one for overpriced flowers and overpackaged chocolates, but I can get down with celebrating love. And the one thing that I love more than anything else is RUNNING! While my buddies back on the east coast are getting buried in snow, winter is pretty much over in California. I heard…

At first, I as too busy traveling, but recently it's been more an issue of general aversion to technology. Please allow me to squish my last several weeks of adventure into as tiny…
Over the past several months, I've re-read a few different pieces of literature originally introduced in my hazy high school years. I'm at a point where books and movies I first experienced over 10 years ago have exciting new meanings. Re-reading "Brave New World" helped inspire my move to Brooklyn (I can explain). Quotes from…

This is not an end of the year review. In fact, I wouldn't have remembered that today is New Years Eve without all the whining that appeared on my facebook news feed recently <3 This is NEWS! I've drawn a rough outline of the next chapter in my life, and it's going to happen on…
- some non-blondes talking shit about the new little white girl running through their neighborhood.. for no reason. So the Leadville Trail 100 race happened this weekend. I also ran my first legit "long run" of 2012. 11 miles. More than half of the year slipped by before I pushed my mileage into double digits.…
