Monday Mojo, Volume 7

May 22, 2017 by Amiee

We had a very special week of weather in Salt Lake last week. Waking up to snow in our yard, I abandoned all responsibilities and took my dog up my favorite local peak to photograph the wildflowers covered in snow. Was a totally magical morning, but sadly all the wildflowers are now dead. Frustrated with…

Monday MoJo, Volume 6

May 15, 2017 by Amiee

I’ve decided to turn Monday Motivation into Monday Mojo mostly because “mojo” just sounds more fun! I’ve been having some trouble finding my running mojo so this Ultrarunner podcast on Mojo, Motivation, and Burnout was a timely listen.

Monday Motivation, Volume 5

May 8, 2017 by Amiee

Whirlwind trips to the desert the past two weekends have my head reeling and of course lusting for more. A little preview of one of the trips! Last week REI launched its Forces of Nature campaign last week and released this sweet video discussing women’s equality in climbing and well pretty much life. As for…

Monday Motivation, Volume 4

Re-charged in the Tetons this weekend, thanks to Terry Tempest Williams’s The Hour of Land I recently finished, which inspired me to explore the park in winter. One of my ultrarunning heroes, Rickey Gates, began his self-supported journey across the country last week. He’s imposed a $1,000 budget/month for 5 months, which will cover food,…

Monday Motivation, Volume 3

February 27, 2017 by Amiee

How quickly I fell off the Monday Motivation wagon, but I found myself back and that is all that matters. Fell in love with this dog at the Banff Mountain Film Festival last week. It snowed a little bit in Salt Lake last week 🙂 How a split-second of kindness can alter your entire life,…

Monday Motivation, Volume 2

February 6, 2017 by Amiee

This past week was a little rough as motivation goes. My legs felt like mush bricks and an early week running face-plant made my neck and arms super sore. My heart also felt heavy with the latest immigration ban and environmental drama and I just can’t seem to find a way to deal. Perhaps a…

Monday Motivation, Volume 1

January 30, 2017 by Amiee

Instead of obsessively refreshing the New York Times homepage this past week hoping beyond hope that Trump will finally say or do something so scandalous that the entire world will agree to a re-do or simply put Bernie in his place, I tried to focus my attention on the inspiring stories and motivating pieces I…
