The first day of setup for the 184 mile trek across the western desert of Utah. Yeehaww!
Author: Jackrabbit
Hey, hello, and hi! My (trail)name is Jackrabbit and I've hiked ~3,000+ miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, a section of the Appalachian Trail, the Oregon Coast Trail, and an unfortunate yet awesome stretch of the Sierra High Route and (somewhat) recently plunged into the world of ultrarunning.
The Pony Loop
Eight years ago I packed up my Corgi, threw her in the car, and we went for a little drive in a chaotic and unspecific westerly direction. I'd seen a lot of Utah having grown up here, but the west desert was kind of an unknown to me, and I found its quiet and dry …
The Race is Off
It's been a bit, training got a little tumultuous. I had to go on a work trip, came back, training got rough again. My legs have been fighting me this year for really no reason and I decided it would be best to just take it easy for a while. I'm happy to say they're …
Training Week 3 – The Burger Incident of 2016
We're just being a little silly this week I guess.
Training Week 2: The Kickoff
Last week I focused on kinda easing in, starting by throwing myself into a big day then backing off to let my body realize we're doing this stuff again. This week I tried to focus on higher endurance events and really throwing myself into it. There's not a whole lot to say about it, it …
Week 1: When to Back Off
Quick update: I was officially accepted into the 420 mile race today, awww yeeuuuhh! I have a work thing that popped up with a bit of an unceremonious surprise. I may be able to work around it and still do the race, time will tell. Does no good to feel deterred before it's time. Audio …
Sometimes Shit Just Happens
I heard back from the race organizers and it sounded like things were looking good. I'm still pending on my entry to the race and I feel good concerning that, but a reminder that sometimes "shit happens" hit me today. Some things got shifted around at work and I may not be available to run …
The 2025 Season, Day 1
Audio Version of this Article Day 1, What's Going on in 2025 | RSS.com Salutations! It's been a spicy minute. For a variety of reasons stemming from the pandemic, I was far away from my life and the things I love doing for what felt like an eternity. That's a post I've tried typing out …
What Happened
Here's a brief timeline of what's been going on. In 2019 I was about to set off on something big. I'd made a route of my own and I was gonna hike it, knowing too well deep down I probably wasn't totally ready for it; though I never have felt quite ready for anything I've …
A Day on the Highline, High Uintas
Day-long trips to the mountains have their place in my heart, but overnighting in the middle of the backcountry is where the love is. Another short day of work lead to enough time for two nights in the wilderness, and I knew precisely where I’d spend them. The High Uintas is littered with remote backcountry …
