@alpinistmag Issue 79 is out! My essay, “Sounds of Me, Sounds of Light,” is about so much more than the Wind River High Route traverse @emma.athena.mure and I did in 2019. I write about understanding kinship, accepting the bodies we are given, how the promise of death shapes us, and so much more (like my BRCA1 mutation!). Listen to me read excerpts from the essay and grab a copy! Thank you all so much and I apologize if I mispronounce any traditional names 😅. ❤️
Finally got a hold of my race photos from @runtherut 50k (Big Sky Photos). I made it a point to make sure I was smiling as much as possible throughout the race haha. But the last photo is kinda hilarious because I wasn’t sure if I was going to throw up or not (I didn’t). My chip time was 8h 39m, which is pretty darn good for 10.5k of gain over 31 miles, with lots of exposure to the heat and ample wildfire smoke. Hottest race they’ve seen I heard. No bueno. My lungs are still recovering from the smoke and my body still feels tired (but I’m also in my luteal phase right now so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #menstrualhormonelife). I wasn’t expecting to recover this long, but it’s okay. Listening to my body is never a bad thing. So grateful that @wakeofthecakes was there to support me and to also volunteer. @mattea_prison (@renew_earth_running teammate) was also out there volunteering! ❤️
Now that a cycle of running, training, and traveling has ended, a new one begins. And often, my writing is swept up from the dust as I revisit new and old ramblings this time of year. Always on to the next thing, right? I need to get back to work on an essay I wrote last year about desert running and family patriarchy. I’d like to submit it somewhere this winter or coming spring… 😬 but for now, here are some random things from my phone notes. The first one I actually wrote this past Friday after meeting many of my @renew_earth_running teammates. I sometimes have trouble expressing why or what I write. But these thoughts came to me on the verge of sleep (of course), and so I had write them down. The second photo is from a note I composed while running east down Pawnee Pass. I was suddenly overwhelmed with thoughts of my mother and these words came to me. The other notes are more random, but often take place when I travel or visit friends or yes, when I run. As with all my notes and journals, things have been edited over time. Which, to me, is the purpose for a note. When I return to them, my future self will hopefully have wiser eyes and a wiser heart to speak from or to finish thoughts started long ago.
Scouting, climbing, resting, cuddling with @wakeofthecakes 🥰 — a good prep week before @runtherut
My latest blog post is up, Moonbox Notes No. 6! Some poetry, some teenage introspection, some recommended reads, some plugs about my @renew_earth_running fundraiser ;)… As always, I hope these (near) monthly posts offer…something, anything? Some feels?
Neníisótoyóú'u — Arapaho for “The Two Guides,” known in English as Longs Peak and “The Diamond” to climbers. A 14er I’d yet to visit during my time on the Front Range. So happy to have finally said hello to this mountain. Patrick joined me this past Friday, as he also had yet to visit the summit (he has climbed the east face, however). It was a beautiful day! ❤️
