Skieologians: Snail seminar
It’s not just about looking the part Recently, I stopped mid-run to an observe an animal that apparently calls Vail ‘home.’ Not a moose, elk, mountain lion or goat — all of those flashy Alpine logos whose silhouettes embody Colorado better than a Patagonia-wearing Patrick Dempsey ever could — but a lowly snail. First, IContinue reading “Skieologians: Snail seminar”
IDC
Oh really? Recently, a prominent runner publicly came out as gay, which brought a post to the Letsrun.com forums I initially thought nothing of, but have since given great consideration. I care how he does with his running. I don’t care at all about what lifestyle choices he makes. I wish him well with hisContinue reading “IDC”
Finishing: at least there will be a good story
When my daughter is pushing her broccoli around, mulling over quitting the soccer team mid-season, I’ll be able to say, “It’s important to finish what you started,” and back it up.

My kind of guys
Maybe it’s a runner thing. A much younger me remembers my dad castigating Minnesota Vikings’ players for cliche post-game interview answers, suggesting he, or me — if given the opportunity — ought to provide off-the-wall answers to the stupid questions lobbed by media members. I never made it to the NFL (sorry, Dad), but Norway’sContinue reading “My kind of guys”

Daddy indoctrination
The other day, my wife took an afternoon nap, rolling the parenting dice by leaving yours truly unsupervised with our 10-month-old, Novi. After lying, “I’ve got this,” I rolled up my sleeves and slowly lowered myself onto the floor as my creaking joints and tight quadriceps screamed, “What are YOU DOING?” Playing. Novi was busyContinue reading “Daddy indoctrination”
Finding fishers of men
America could use a few more men willing to be dads There’s this thing about fishing. Often, the return on your tremendous investment of time, energy and resources is three hours of shivering and staring at downriggers. There’s the boat – and keeping that running — and the licenses, tackle and bait. Don’t forget rods andContinue reading “Finding fishers of men”
