“But dude, what you guys are doing is like, gnarcore. See, I had to make up a new word just to describe it. Gnarly and hardcore. This trip is Epic… I love you guys.”  Our trip took us into the small and unique town of Gualala, Wa-La-La. After a brief hello to our hosts atContinue reading ““Gnarcore””

Camping under the Redwoods is an experience unlike any other. God has woven a mystery about His grandeur somewhere in there. Our runs set out from this serene setting to approach the coast again. The hills that we labored over paled in comparison to our new adversary, the wind. Now, I guess I should haveContinue reading “Unconditional Love”

So as we resurface on the grid, I think now would be an appropriate time to get you dear reader caught up on the current situation. Since we left Stanford, Zac and I have been able to run in some places that would even compare to the awesome landscapes of Big Sur. Our run toContinue reading “The Dark Side of the Moon”

As we camp north of San Francisco, keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are more alive than ever and are continuing on north. Cell phone service and Internet access is rough, so stay tuned for more updates, pictures, crazy stories, and more from us. P.S It’s cold, I’ve seen more blue jays thanContinue reading “Stay Tuned…”

No, we have not seen any lions, tigers, or bears, yet. But we have been warned of their presence in the area. Mountain lions and bears may be among our next spectators from the side of the road, as we head into the dense forests and past the Bay area. Although tigers may be scarceContinue reading “Lions, Tigers, and Bears”

So Zac and I finally made it back to the cusp of civilization. After having the last three of our run days out in the middle of some of the most hilly, forested and beautiful bit of terrain we could have ever asked for, Zac and I found ourselves in Monterey California. When we arrivedContinue reading “From our family to yours!”

Not many people can say they have ran 90 miles through Big Sur in three days. And if you know Big Sur at all, you know Paul’s and my pain. There are endless miles of long hills that prelude fast, twisty slopes. Big Sur has tested our strength and endurance. I say with full confidenceContinue reading “Big Sur, You Are Big.”

After Patrick dropped us off back in Harmony, we headed into the mist, not knowing what to expect. Our troubles first started when we both realized that we didn’t even know if our host’s location was in San Simeon of Cambria, two very close but definitely different towns. This actually wouldn’t have been a problemContinue reading “The Misty Mountains”

After our stay in SLO and many heartfelt goodbyes, Zac and I headed into our first experience of rainy weather. Although I definitely wouldn’t say we got “poured on”, the on/off tendency of the weather kept catching us off guard. It seemed almost as soon as we put away our rain gear, the rain started fallingContinue reading “The Belly of the Beast”

Well, here we are in the small beach town of Cayucos. Tonight we will be taking rest and shelter in a 25 foot long sailboat. How cool is that? As I sit on the couch in a studio apartment at the moment, dog laying by my side, and the ocean’s air comes through the windows,Continue reading “Captain’s Log”
