A Different Athlete Now | Western States 15 Years Later

15 years. That's how long it's been since my first Western States.

The race holds the same magic as it did in 2010: the wilderness, those relentless canyons, the heat, the history of running 100 miles from Olympic Valley to Auburn.

But life looks different for me now. Three kids, a more structured approach to training, and cold Norwegian fjords as a playground.

So what brings me back to California? Maybe it’s curiosity. I'm not exactly the same athlete who first toed that line. Not younger for sure, but maybe a bit wiser...
