Well, I'm stoked to finally have sold our house in Pleasantville (what I call NW Crossing in Bend)! Actually a killer neighborhood, just a little too polished and neat for Bronco Billy! The family and I are renting a farm near Smith Rock State Park. Chickens, garden, fresh air...giddyup! Finally moving forward with our vision of back to the land and a more green existence. Now we just have to find some land to buy in the next year or two. But, for now, it will be great to get back on some rural land with a barn, chicken coop, huge yard and privacy.
Farm Bonus: I'm right by Smith. Hard ultra training at it's best...1200 to 1400 feet of climbing an hour...technical, burly running. This will be my daily training ground for the upcoming season. I'm so pumped. This is where all ultra runners in Central Oregon come for hard days. So, I'm hoping to host some post-training run brunches on some farm fresh eggs and organic coffee. Yum.
Running front...my Plantar Fasciitis is finally pretty much healed up. The foot is feeling good. I'm still getting some tightness after hard road tempo run or hard downhill running, but I hope I'm over the hump for healing. I'm definitely going in under-trained for Cool 50k in 2 weeks, but it's early season and gotta roll with it. Funny how every early season the past few years has begun with some issue to overcome...just like life. Yes, Deep Thoughts by Bronco Billy.

Glad you're healed up. Sean promised that you wouldn't take it easy on us at Bighorn this year. We're still a year out from owning our "two acres of heaven" but I did join an organic farm on a workshare. Looking forward to slamming as many chemical-free veggies as possible in the upcoming month. Good luck at WTC.
Strong update! Congrats on the move and happy to hear the PF has abated...

welcome to erff...
congrats on the new digs, from one farmer to another. Ty, Good to hear that you are a member of a co-op. I wonder how many team members participate or support local agriculture.
Seems a nasty strain of PF associated with the wearing of a particular mizuno trail shoe has broken out. Your the 7th person I have heard of with this affliction.
See you at Cool. Work on that falsetto for the Georgetown Hotel.

Dude! congrats on selling the Bend house. You guys are gonna love the farm.
So Hagg was pretty good today, not as muddy as years past, but I made it through my first 50k!
