Perseverance on the Mountain: Ragnar Trail POV

On the day of the race, we pulled into the parking lot of Crystal Mountain Resort, the sun already blazing the dry, dusty dirt. The race was already underway, and our team’s first runner was on the course. We unloaded our gear at our team’s campsite, while people around us did quad stretches, hoisted pirate flags, and donned compression socks, cow costumes, and sparkles.

Parker’s Pages: A Philosophy of Walking

While Frédéric Gros is not native to the Puget Sound, and his book, A Philosophy of Walking, is not rooted in the Pacific Northwest, it has completely revolutionized how I navigate and experience the city of Seattle and the University District where I live. In a part of the world so close to nature with comfortable temperatures most of the year, and a large hiking, biking, and travel culture, A Philosophy of Walking feels like a necessary read.
