I would rather decline a sandwich all together if the time has not been taken to build it well. A properly toasted+seasoned bun is paramount. Especially when using gluten free bread. A little olive oil, kosher salt and cracked black pepper and a minute or two in the toaster until everything is GBD (golden brown+delicious). Add an egg or a big scoop of hummus. Lots of greens, dijon, a stack of seasonal veggies and you are good to go! #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #clymbing #skimo #sandwiches #Boulder #ColoRADo

That’s a wrap! Two events, dinner at someone else’s house(💜🙏🏼) seeing lots of friends, chocolate covered marzipan AND chocolate marshmallow bark w/espresso beans and lots of other good stuff. Also, we are in the midst of 60 mph winds and snow😞 Good thing we have chocolate! #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #climbing Boulder #ColoRADo

You guys! It’s that time of year again when you’ll hopefully be fortunate enough to find entire stalks of Brussels Sprouts at the grocery store. They are SO fun to work with and serve. Also, I totally get how they can freak people out. I am often asked “What in the world will you do with that thing?” So here’s the deal! Heat your oven to 350. Grab a big flat sheet tray. Place the stalk on said sheet tray. Drizzle oil (whatever kind you like) all over that thing. Generously season with salt+pepper. Roast for 20 min on one side. Turn over and roast for an additional 15-20 min until things start to brown and get caramelized. Serve the entire thing on a giant board or platter and have guests pull the sprouts off as they want to snack on them. Serve with your favorite vinaigrette🙏🏼 This beauty is reserved for GoFar’s 2nd anniversary store open house tomorrow. #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #climbing Boulder #ColoRADo

No room at the Inn! Well at least not for May, June, July OR August of 2020 for RAD. We are beyond excited for what next year has in store for us! Stay tuned for the 411. For now, hit us up if you need us in 2020 as our calendar is filling fast friends🔥#shhhh #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #skimo #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

If you missed the Adidas fun run last night you also missed a red velvet googly eyed cake! It was way better than the planned oatmeal cake, which probably would have been just fine. And although we eventually did end up with empty pans of everything else, rest assured it was the googly eyed cake that 86’d first🙏🏼🤘🏼 Here’s the gist: beet cake with avocado/tofu/blood orange frosting and loads of 10X sugar. Banana flour and aquafaba egg substitute for the win. #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo #adidasterrex

This past week has been a whiplash of dietary needs. We had two vegan events in Boulder. One event with the usual gf/df/nf 75% vegan 25% animal protein menu. A special delivery of 40 cream puffs and 4 cherry turnovers for my coach who continues to rapidly consume calories while recovering from TDG. I believe he ate said desserts in under 48 hours. Morgan is on his way home from a 300+mile bike packing trip. I’ve been juicing fresh ginger and turmeric for that today. We packed a giant cooler for a group that headed to Aspen’s 4 Pass Loop and refilled some secret oils and our own giant jar of seeds for daily use. Closing out the month with back to back Salomon events and starting October strong with a Trail Sisters fall retreat and the ATRA conference in Estes Park! Hope to see you all out there🔥#doepicshit #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #mountainbiking #skimo #Boulder #ColoRADo

This is the list of what we have said yes to over the months of August/September. Honestly, our list of what we said no to is three times as long. We’ve made a conscious decision of saying no more often so we could say yes with more conviction. RAD turns FIVE in October! Whaaat? So crazy! More on that later, but as we reflect on this list and what is still to come through the end of Sept and half of October, we have made VERY sure there are blacked out days with absolutely nothing going on. Days devoted to nothing but mental and physical health and running single track in the mountains. August treated us to back to back weeks of feeding the fastest most talented folks in the endurance community. September has reunited us with all of our Boulder endurance family. As we reflect on the RAD’s inception year’s back...we cannot imagine things evolving any stronger🙏🏼 #stayrad #doepicshit #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #Boulder #ColoRADo

This month I passed up not one, but THREE free trips to Europe. All I want is to be home. I don’t travel a lot, but when I do it is in a very concentrated quarter of the year. Another half of the year is equally fast paced in the US. This leaves the final quarter at home to be slower and very thoughtful. Every decision, every trip and bit of travel is strategic without regret. I spent yesterday on Longs Peak alone. If you’ve ever been up to our place you know one side of our house faces Longs. It’s really what sold us on the house. There’s magic in that mountain. Yesterday when I was up high, I planned out a project I’ve been thinking about for a while. Something based on an old jacket, home, Longs, climbing, running and an old Foo Fighters song “HOME”. Although I know I’d be having a heck of a time in Italy, France and Austria this month, it sure is nice to be home🙏🏼 #rad #radboulder #echoessilencepatienceandgrace #doepicshit #feedyoursoul #home #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #Longspeak #ColoRADo

Bromance over here at house one! The last supper before the big race tomorrow. It’s safe to say a few of us are brain fried and a little slap happy, but still having a blast. Nighty night racers! See you bright and early. #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #mountainrunning #goldenraceseries #pikespeakmarathon #timetoplay #ColoRADo

1 more sleep ‘til the big race! We put away a LOT of mac+chs for lunch today! SO fun to feed this group. See you all at dinner! #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #pikespeak #timetoplay #ColoRADo

Is it bedo’clock yet? Long fun filled day in Manitou. Saw SO many friends and was too busy to take photos. It’s nicer to get the one on one anyway. I’ll take that over a photo any day. Extra shoutout to RyGuy for putting in such a stellar How to Trail Run workshop with dinner after. See you crazy cats tomorrow! #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #pikespeakmarathon #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #goldentrailseries #ColoRADo

Three more sleeps til race day!! Most everyone has arrived at this point and you can certainly feel the energy in Manitou. Lots and lots of food and wildflower tea being passed. #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #willsweatforbeer #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #pikespeak #goldenstateraceseries #timetoplay #ColoRADo

Roasted carrot “hot dogs” for lunch! Also, if you see a rogue Mustang convertible with 3 europeans speeding through Manitou...send them back to House #1! #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #timetoplay #salomonrunning #PikesPeak #ColoRADo

Gangs all here! Well most of them anyway. Lots of jet lag and ravenous Salomon US+Global athletes. As long as they can stay to the right side of the road, we should all be safe! #rad #radboulder #timetoplay #feedyoursoul #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #skyrunning #pikespeak #doepicshit #ColoRADo

Unpacking to repack. Tomorrow morning we head to Manitou Springs to feed our Salomon family!! It’s been a hot minute since we have seen a lot of these folks and we could not be more excited to spend an entire week with them. I used to tie myself up in knots carrying the weight of feeding so many contending elites before a big race. These days, the focus is on being grateful so many trust us to take care of them. Thank you Salomon and Amersport for being so RAD. We can’t wait to see you all! #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #ultrarunning #skyrunning #doepicshit #salomonrunning #timetoplay #pikespeak #ColoRADo

It’s Transrockies week! Lots of love to our most favorite race director of all time, Kevin Houda McDonald. To know Houda is to love him. We are so grateful to spend anytime we can with our Transrockies family. Here’s to a super fun week of playing in the mountains if ColoRADo. #transrockies #TRR #rad #radboulder #doepicshit #willsweatforbeer #themountainsarecalling

“Sitting here tonight, by the fire light it reminds me I already have more than I should. I don’t need fame. No one to know my name, at the end of the day, Lord I pray I have a life that’s good.” Sending all of our positive energy to our niece Ally as she starts an ultra of her own and endures 9 months of chemo. You got this kiddo!! We’ll be your dream team crew through it all🙏🏼🤘🏼🦋 Any extra vibes Ally’s way would be much appreciated. Ally is tagged in this post if you want to read her blog 😁 #cancersucks #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #themountainsarecalling #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #Boulder #ColoRADo

Big shout out to Morgan for crewing, slinging beer, driving driving driving and pimping UD every time I turned around from sun up to sun down. Seriously though, at every aid station fitting packs on pacers, racers, crew chiefs, OG Blake🤘🏼 and beyond. Besides working the UD table at sign up...there was even Skylar snuggling in between. And back in the office today, he just texted me to swing by and grab a HALO for a local elite who is heading to UTMB this week. #thisguy #UDhydrates #ultrarunning #enduranceathletes #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #Boulder #ColoRADo #highlonesome100

Tomorrow Morgan will be handing off a giant cooler to one of our most respected coaches. Give it up for all around good guy, jokester and fellow Boulderite...the one and only, Mr. Adam St. Pierre!🤘🏼🤘🏼 Adam will be leading a great group in Leadville for an ultra running camp and we are honored to feed them. We are fortunate to have fed Adam several times over the years and he has a few specific top secret requests. We also decided today to throw in something pretty cool that we have recently been geeking out over. As hydration is key this time if year, especially over these past few weeks, we’ve been hunting high and low for new teas and fun beverages and have found a super fun favorite in this Butterfly Pea tea! Huge thank you to local coffee shop Beleza for showing us the way🙏🏼Butterfly pea is a deep purple flower full of antioxidants with handfuls of benefits AND it tastes great! Also...purple?! SO pretty🦋 We’ve added it to limeade and lots of fresh water in a giant cooler and are sending it your way Adam! We hope you have an amazing camp! #feedyoursoul #rad #radboulder #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #ctsathlete #Boulder #ColoRADo #Leadville

I was recently asked for an updated CV. One that proves why I am uniquely qualified to work on a specific project. What makes me uniquely qualified...? Honestly it has been a hot minute since I have been asked for a resume. We have two projects that will set the tone for the rest of 2019 and a great deal of 2020. One was very out of left field and super exciting. The other, equally exciting, is one I have personally wanted to jump at for a while. The latter is what requires the CV. There is something sobering about the process of sitting back and reading your own resume. A snap shot, a time line of your life’s work. I have always been grateful to the restaurant industry for the many ways a career can spiderweb. One does not simply have to work in a restaurant. Enter RAD🙏🏼 It’s been a few months since I have teetered on the edge of taking on more than I can chew. Being comfortable is boring. However, being comfortable in discomfort is a challenge I have always excelled at. Time to push this little company to the edge. Stay tuned! #enduranceathletes #ultrarunning #cycling #climbing #skimo #rad #radboulder #feedyoursoul #doepicshit #Boulder #ColoRADo
