Out for 10k + strides in gale force winds and saw the KION team filming the storm near Lover’s Point. I got some funny looks running past in the storm

Not enough sage for this sh*t - Saw this saying on a bag during my run. Seems to match the vibe. Day 27 #100DayStreak #IBDAthlete #RunSky #Running

Yesterday was my last run (I did 5+ miles) mentoring the crew for the Big Sur Marathon. My training has been for abdominal surgery next Friday. It’s been an amazing 11-weeks and we topped it off w/a climb to the pink bike and found a T-Rex!

We finished up training week 9/16 for the Big Sur Intl Marathon with a 15 mi long run + 2 race pace intervals @ 4mi. It was a gorgeous day in Monterey and we were treated to a red-tailed hawk grabbing a snack

You only get one of these a day and it was an exceptional specimen today.
4 days til surgery - Day 83 #100DayStreak #IBDAthlete #Crohns

It was a difficult road to my #remicade infusion today because Stanford and Blue Shield can’t agree on a contract for just my care + I had to sign a PAFR. If this is how things are now, wait for healthcare regression coming soon #CrohnsLife #Crohns #IBDAthlete

Gelato 🍧 is calling after that Bills 🦬 game, but first a HIIT session 💪🏼 🔥

An atmospheric river shifted my training from a strides run to a strength + core workout and a hard ride. It was super fun to workout with Anthony Mackie—And I’m stoked for #BraveNewWorld

In #SantaCruz tomorrow evening? I'm giving a talk about being an athlete with an autoimmune disease ~ and the intersection of inflammation and exercise @ 6 PM at the Resource Center for Nonviolence. I hope to see some of you there!

8 days in the hospital, 2 abdominal surgeries, a partially collapsed lung, 2
vasovagal crashes, the last of which happened on the endless stair climb to our place, but I got to wake up to this sunrise view of the Monterey Bay #Crohns #IBDAthlete

5/5 while training for my 1st marathon (@ 50), I realized the x-over btwn endurance training and autoimmunity was inflammation. I’ve been solving for that variable. Nutrient needs can double—your ability to keep ahead is the game

3/? most rewarding 🏅 was my colorectal surgeon found zero adhesions (bands of scar tissue btwn abdominal & organ tissue)—a huge win as this was the first time in 25 procedures—owing to my training, nutrition, and recovery work #Training #Crohns #IBD #Ostomy #IBDAthlete #Run

2/? the upside of training for surgery- resilience and recovery ability goes way ⬆️ I was able to avoid a 3️⃣ rd surgery while in the hospital because my abdominal and fascia were so well developed from strength & mobility work along with the 20-30 mile a week running #Training #IBDAthlete #IBD #Run

I started my training plan with an easy 7k and leg/hip strength session, took down all the Christmas decorations, and roasted coffee for the week, but my true victory for today was remembering the wool dryer balls for my laundry. #StaticFree #IBDAthlete #Coros #Pace3

Post-infusion #Peloton HIIT ride this morning to shake out the ick
