Short days + A serious aversion to early morning exercise = All training done at night, by headlamp, up in the mountains above Boulder.

⚡️FULL HOUSE!⚡️ A huge thanks to the great

⚡️FULL HOUSE!⚡️ A huge thanks to the great Brendan Leonard (@semi_rad) for including me in such a fun and funny event at the Arc’teryx store in Boulder!

Brendan answered “30 Questions That You May (Or May Not) Have About Ultrarunning,” and I, as usual, pestered him with a bunch of additional, possibly strange questions.

I mostly interrogated him about his newest book ULTRA-SOMETHING, which perfectly captures the essence of why we weirdos enjoy running around in the mountains for hours/days on end.

I’ll be discussing the book more in next week’s book recs, but– spoiler alert– I give it my highest endorsement!

Such a great crowd, such a great venue, such great pizza.

Thanks to all the folks who came out, to the amazing staff at @arcteryxcolorado, and to everyone who made it such an all-around hilarious and inspiring evening.

NEW PODCAST! Kristine Tompkins (@kristine_tompkins

⚡️8️⃣⚡️ Eight years ago today, I hit “publish” on the first episode of Mountain & Prairie.

I had no expectations that anyone would listen, much less that it would eventually become my full-time vocation. What a unexpectedly rewarding journey it has been.

But the best part, hands down, has been THE PEOPLE.

Because of the podcast, I’ve met some of the most inspiring, adventurous, curious, smart, hilarious, humble, tough, and creative people imaginable– and I’m proud to now call many of them my good friends.

I’m not just talking about the podcast guests–I’m talking about listeners, supporters, partners, workshop participants, people who’ve reached out via email, folks I’ve met at events, and yes, as much as I don’t want to admit it, people I’ve met here on Instagram (thanks, Zuck).

I can’t even begin to sufficiently express my gratitude to everyone for being so supportive and encouraging, for sharing the podcast with friends, leaving kind reviews, joining Patreon, reading my emails, and generally just restoring my faith in humanity after way too many years spent tangling with various forms of shifty business scumbags.

Without your interest and the precious time you devote to listening and reading, none of this would exist. So thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU for your interest in all of my weird interests.

I take this work very seriously, and I’m excited to continue cranking hard for year number nine… and many more years after that.
