Early in 2011 I set three running goals for my second year of plodding along: 1. Run my first marathon in a sub-4 hour time; 2. Set a new personal record in a half marathon; and 3. Join my local running club’s 1200 Mile club by running at least 1200 miles in 2011. Goal number…
No, it’s not the latest Judd Apatow movie, it’s time for Run Wild Missoula’s monthly beer run. What? You didn’t think these monthly feasts of fitness and fun took the winter off, did you? Even in the dark and slippery night, the beer runs continue for the hardy. This month the run takes place at…
Acceptance. That’s a concept I’ve been struggling with lately. Three months ago on July 10, 2011 I crossed the finish line of my first marathon, the Missoula Marathon, capping a quest many miles in the making. Since then, running has been a bit of a struggle.

Afterward, get social with fellow beer runners…
In July, 2010, I crossed the finish line of the Missoula half marathon with a giant smile and a new goal. Right then I set my sights on running the full Missoula marathon one year later. The race was that much fun. The sense of accomplishment was that fulfilling. The excitement of race day was…
Sunday is the Missoula Marathon which means the vast majority of runners are in some sort of taper as part of their training plan. Webster’s defines “taper” as the “gradual diminution of thickness, diameter, or width in an elongated object.” Um . . er . . . . . that raises all manner of interesting…
Any lingering doubt about the intersection of craft beer and running was wiped away Wednesday night in Missoula as hundreds of runners, walkers and craft beer enthusiasts packed Kettlehouse Brewing Co.’s northside location for Community U-Nite in support of Run Wild Missoula. Runners in the Run Wild Missoula marathon training group gathered under threatening skies…
Each Wednesday, Kettlehouse Brewing Co.’s Northside location hosts a different non-profit organization for a fundraiser, with fifty cents of every pint sold donated to that organization. This Wednesday, June 29, 2011, beer and running come together to support Run Wild Missoula. Run Wild Missoula’s beer run will take off from the brewery (313 N. 1st…
