I've gone through every iteration of the On Cloudflyer and usually platooned them with the Brooks Adrenaline. I recently realized I had worn out my Ons faster than normal — courtesy of shin and knee pain as my mileage and time on my feet increased — and started looking for a higher mileage shoe. Thanks to Fleet Feet, I've ran on nearly every brand of cushion shoe out there and haven't liked any...

The fall equinox is often associated with a time of healing, abundance, and letting go of things that don't serve us, but it has often been the opposite for me. Since getting sick in 2012, my close-to-death experiences and each of my 20 surgeries have come between September and January.

By looking at my training for the month of August, I guess I can say I'm finally back! It has been a long recovery, but the last 9 months of working with my strength coach and easing into training is starting to really show dividends. 30 activities in August, nearly 100 miles running and a pretty good looking distribution of effort with just around ~80% of my effort below threshold and the bulk...

Seeing an article in my inbox talking about studies to put autoimmune disease into remission using B cell blockades got me excited. The study was small and focused on Lupus not IBD, but the results were very promising and will hopefully promote more work in this area. “"all five patients were able to achieve drug-free remission at three months and remained in remission at the time of publicatio...

It was quite a week here — we moved our bakery to a new kitchen for more capacity to grow, I recorded my second Strong Savvy Cyclist Podcast episode with my coach (listen to the first conversation here), and got going on the Coros Half Marathon Training Camp! Also, my first 20+ mile week post-surgery. Things are definitely headed in the right direction

My busiest race season ever continues: Next up, a 10k run in the redwoods at the Santa Cruz Trail Run put on by Inside Trail Racing — and only one month before the Big Sur Trail Half Marathon really tests me! #crohns #ibd #autoimmuneathlete #fleetfeetmonterey
