Good For Kids

The San Francisco based Good For Kids Foundation grants underprivileged kids the opportunity to explore and develop their creative and physical abilities via summer camp programs, one-to-one coaching, and advisory services.

These badass dudes, running as Team Good For Kids, rocked it at the GoreTex Trans-Rockies a few weeks ago, running over 120 miles over six days- from Buena Vista to Beaver Creek, Colorado. I had the privileged of chatting with them after one of the stages of the event and was impressed with how they work with local coaches, artists, athletes and adventurers willing to donate their time to give kids a powerful, life changing experience.

Rest: For the Dead and Wicked

Cracking a beer at work- a little after 10am this morning- the fizz of the PBR was a welcome pause in the non-stop whilwind that has become the norm. Life has been rather hectic as of late.

August took me from my first trip to OR in Salt Lake City, back to SF, to a generally tipsy vacation on Marthas Vineyard, to an quick stop in North Kingston, RI, followed by a wedding in mainland MA, to Leadville, CO. Then I started running.


The first day I shook off the cobwebs at somewhere around 10,000 feet, with a four mile jaunt. The next day I explored the finer points of creek run/moshing over 8 miles. The following morning I ran a good 11+ miles from Red Creek, up the back of Vail for some of the wildest Rocky Moutain views I've ever seen. Then finally I committed. Vail to Beaver Creek. 21+ miles, 4400 feet of climbing = No joke.

Check out my full recap from the GoreTex Trans-Rockies Run (the most fun you can have with spandex on) can be found on the All That's Fit blog.

Anyway- the fall is here and things haven't slowed down a bit. This past weekend double overhead surf arrived- demolishing my back in the process. This weekend we have Hardly Strictly Bluegrass (Yonder, Umphrey's, etc.), with nightly interludes at the Fillmore (Railroad Earth) and Fox (Flaming Lips). It's time to get back on the horse.

What's good out there people? What are you stoked about? Where is your session headed?
