Why I run

Because I can. When you’ve experienced a time when you can’t, that’s the only reason you need.

My favorite trail to run

Singletrack in the Valais region of Switzerland, deep in the Sierra, or high in the Himalaya. All of them.

What I hope to convey with my writing

Some small way of connecting.
