There is little I love more than spending time outdoors. Whether sitting still and enjoying the sounds of nature or running trails for hours, I am always happiest in the wild. Adventure Sneaker is my blog dedicated to sneaking outdoor adventure into everyday life. From trails to travel, gear reviews to road trip routes, local adventures to grand destinations... my goal is to help you get out there and explore your outdoor spaces and venture out into parts unknown. In addition to my ramblings here, I am also a freelance writer for irunfar.com and have written travel blogs for escapecampervans.com.

2015 will be my second year riding in the Pan Mass Challenge. I absolutely LOVED every second of last year’s ride (check out my recap here), and there was no question that I would be signing up again this year. There’s no doubt that signing up for an event of this magnitude is pretty intimidating. … More Pan Mass Challenge – A Beginner’s Guide
Ok… file this under the “better late than never” category!!! Several months ago I was contacted by the Community Manager over at ENERGYbits and offered a sample of ENERGYbits and RECOVERYbits to try out.

Welcome, Winter 2015! Yikes. Not sure how that happened….. I blinked, and December and January disappeared! It is some crazy shit how time flies. Whether you are having fun or not. Which, incidentally, I have been. I was in the mood to fire up the blog and share some of the silliness that has … More Time Flies! Welcome Winter 2015
Hiking is one of my favorite things… Especially in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. We New Englanders may not have the elevation and peaks of the West, but we have some pretty beautiful trails with some spectacular views. Size ain’t everything, people! One of my goals is to get out and do some more … More Mount Tecumseh Hike – NH 4000 footers
On Saturday November 8th I had the pleasure of taking part in the Stonecat Trail Marathon in Ipswich, MA.

We try to pack as much adventure as possible into our vacations, and … More Winter Trip Review: Maine Huts and Trails
That? is the question. Or is it. Yesterday one of my fabulous friends/coworker/fellow runner turned to me after returning from a race and asked the ever important question…. “running skirts – do you like ’em?”. Our consensus was we are both solidly in the “no skirt” camp. (unless, of course, you are wonder woman. … More To Skirt? or not to Skirt…
Most of you are familiar with, I’m sure, the concept of “Farm to Table”. In short – your food doesn’t travel far to get to your plate. Locally sourced veggies, meats, seafood from local farms and fishermen being harvested fresh and served up close to home. On our yearly trip to Maine we had the … More Farm to Table…. to Vegetarian
First things first, let’s get one thing straight… I am NOT a road runner. My preferred method of run travel is in the dirt, trying (and most always failing) not to trip and go ass over teakettle into the woods. I love mud. I stomp in puddles. I’m dirty. (not that kind of dirty… get … More Ode to the Road
