My sweet friend left me a message today that said, among many things, that Chamonix seems like “a place that is very well-suited for a stasia” — which she figured is because of the public transit, great markets, amazing runs, and sweet people. And, yes! I hadn’t really thought of …
This is for all my work peeps/other trail nerds of the world. As I’ve been running and hiking around Chamonix, I’ve decided that when I come back to work in Washington we should embrace a new version of building trails. One in which we just go straight up rock walls …
(And running too, of course:) I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it has been here in Chamonix this last week. Biking Remember how I rented a bike on a whim when I first got here? Well, I used it last week to go for a long ride down …
