DNF’d my first #backyardultra. ICYMI everyone DNF’s in a #lastpersonstanding event except, well, the last person who goes one loop further than everyone else. Huge thanks to volunteers and friends who kept me moving and smiling for ~30 miles and a weekend of fun in the mountains.

Last week, Republicans in the House advanced a bill that could put more than 500,000 acres of public land up for sale. Outdoor Alliance has a preliminary analysis of these lands, which shows that the proposed sell offs are places where people ride, climb, hike, and paddle.
Midnight Land Sales in Reconciliation Megabill — Outdoor Alliance
Lawmakers just advanced a massive budget bill with last-minute land sell-offs, attacks on NEPA, and conservation rollbacks. Here’s what outdoor recreationists need to know.

Congrats to my friend Meg Eckert on her 6 day world record! So thrilled for her, and she still has 9 hours left to rack up the miles.

It’s not too late to show up, many protests are still getting started, and we’re already over 2 million+. Today has been incredible. Small towns across America doubled or even tripled their turnout compared to 4/5. Way to go! We never expected these small towns to show up with this kind of force!

Yesterday was a high stress day, so today I’m listening to my body and went for a long walk instead of my usual training #run. Thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sights of a moody spring morning. #PagosaSprings #colorado
