I am a historian, writer, and professor. This blog began around 2013 when I moved from Nebraska to Utah. Until then, I thought I hated running.

I had always been active, mountain biking, lap swimming, snowboarding, etc… but traditionally running has not been in the mix. Hence, it was somewhat of a surprise to find myself attempting to become a runner. Trail running in Utah hooked me.

This blog chronicles the journey.

I used to post frequently and catalog runs with place-based tags…but I do so less frequently now. Life is busy.
