JoshuaI’ve discovered “intimate comedy night” may be the most anxiety-inducing social activity with IBD. Luckily, Helen Hong had us laughing from minute one, and got intimate with her own cancer story #CrohnsLife #ostomy #SunsetCenter
Jonah GibberishI had more than one Dune sequel this weekend. This one was running 15 miles (my longest ever!) on the path where my transformation via cycling began almost exactly 8 years ago.

The Dunes, Part Two | Step One
I had a flashback moment to almost exactly 8 years ago on my 50-mile ride at Sea Otter while out on our training run with the Fleet Feet group on Saturday. The route was 16-18 miles, and despite mentoring a pace group, I've never run more than thirteen-and-a-half. I had been nervous the day befor...
I had the most middle-aged accident carrying it a bag of broken Chemex glass- caught my ecotrek trail pants and ripped a hole requiring 3-layers of stitches. Marathon training is on a temporary hold #AutoimmuneAthlete #CrohnsLife #Ibd #crohns
Yesterday was amazing—I set a personal record that was 10 minutes faster than my previous half-marathon time, finishing in 2:05:57.
To celebrate, thanks to a stroke of bad scheduling, I had a Remicade infusion today. But, I got to show off my medal at Stanford!

Happy Equinox! This is not typically a great time of year for me, so I've got a new totem.

Happy Equinox With Pink Bike Energy | Step One
The fall equinox is often associated with a time of healing, abundance, and letting go of things that don't serve us, but it has often been the opposite for me. Since getting sick in 2012, my close-to-death experiences and each of my 20 surgeries have come between September and January. Even thou...
I had one of those days that seemed pretty simple on the surface — wake up and run Wharf to Wharf Race in Santa Cruz. But when I got up, I discovered my strength coach, Menachem Brodie, had dropped an episode we recorded on his podcast. Today, as I ran the roads that were a key part of my early journey on the bike and later through my triathlon and half-marathon training, it felt like things were coming full circle.

Coming Full Circle at Wharf to Wharf | Step One
I lived in Santa Cruz for nearly ten years but was never able to run the iconic Wharf to Wharf race that runs from the Boardwalk to Capitola. The run is more like Bay to Breakers with lots of people of all abilities out to have a good time running along some of the most epic Central Coast beach s...
♡Desert Rain(i)♡I need to remember to post on here more 😅 absolutely exhausted from Crohn’s and family. Being accused of drugs, having my husband thrown under the bus, and my feelings being disregarded. Sending love to all who need it 💖 xxx #crohnslife #crohnsdisease #mentalheath #followbackfriday
Seven years ago today, I rode a 50 mile Gran Fondo on a single speed after starting from zero, six weeks before. I had no idea how that simple, dedicated action would change and save my life.
When I started training in March 2016, I was in bad shape - I weighed 149 lbs & my CRP was 120 + my Stanford doctors had just dropped the news that I would need permanent surgery replacing my temporary ostomy.
I didn't own a bike, but I had to do something.

Geoff Rothman@molly0xfff I have to admit tho, it’s way better than proto-wet or proto-dry sharding #CrohnsLife
