Every ounce matters when you’re chasing miles! 🏔️🥾#ad

You know those people who manage to drink barely anything while hiking? Well, I’m whatever the opposite of that is.

I’m a water guzzler. Anyone else? 💦

Staying hydrated is GOOD. But carrying heavy water bottles up mountains is hard.

Lately I’ve been switching to a lighter, more efficient hydration setup, and this water bottle from @hydrapak just makes sense.

It clips right onto my pack for easy, hands-free access and can even be used with a filter so you can refill along the trail.

(You can attach it to most 42mm threaded water filters to create a really easy, packable squeeze system).

I’ve been a hiker for decades and I’m always searching for ways to be more efficient on the trail.

The HydraPak PackFlask is lighter on my legs and makes it easy to stay hydrated. Win, win, win.

👉🏼 HydraPak is a local company and I always love supporting local businesses. Check them out if you’re in the market for a new hydration system!

Now available nationwide at REI! #HydraPak

Sometimes the path forward doesn’t look like the one you planned.

Injury has a way of forcing a pivot. It asks you to let go of timelines, expectations, and sometimes even pieces of your identity for a little while. But it also asks a different question:
How can you keep moving forward anyway?

Right now, when I can’t run, I ride. I’m learning that growth doesn’t stop just because the plan changes.

There’s still fitness to build.
Still lessons to learn.
Still ways to get stronger — mentally, physically, emotionally.

Progress isn’t always linear and resilience doesn’t always look glamorous. Sometimes it looks like showing up for the alternative. Choosing curiosity over frustration. Finding gratitude for what your body can do today instead of only focusing on what it can’t.

So with that, I’ll see you in Emporia for Unbound Gravel 200 🚴‍♀️

This is the Summer we stay hydrated folks!! 🏔️💧

The PackFlask from @hydrapak has been on every adventure with me since I got it! So excited to bring it backpacking this season 🏕️

Check it out - It’s now available nationwide @rei ✨

Hiking with a toddler isn’t really about the miles. Some days it’s giggles and pointing out every tree. Most days it’s catching your breath while singing the ABCs and passing snacks and water over your head. Does it count as training? Absolutely.

One of the most important things about my gear is efficiency, especially while hiking with her. This setup with the PackFlask from @hydrapak just works - quick access, easy to refill, and no digging around in my pack when my hands are already full of snacks. And she likes it too!

Fill up, filter, and keep moving. 🏃 The @hydrapak PackFlask+ makes it easy to stay hydrated without slowing down! From quick creek stops to easy miles on the trail, it’s all about keeping things simple so you can stay out longer.

Now available nationwide at @rei

A new way to hydrate on the trail. Engineered to carry on the harness of most hiking packs and backpacks, the PackFlask family integrates run vest design with easy access pack hydration. Perfect for hiking, backpacking, fastpacking, and thru-hiking.

PackFlask+ available nationwide @rei

I bet you didn’t think it’s possible for my hiking companion to have competition for the top spot 🐶👀💦

I’ve been testing out the @hydrapak PackFlask+ on our recent hikes in Vancouver and it’s become one of my favorite pieces of gear. (AD)

The PackFlask is Hydrapak’s newest innovation: an ultra-light, efficient system for fast and light-day hikes and long treks.

Gone are the days of becoming dehydrated because I’m too lazy to take off my pack and dig around for my water bottle.

The PackFlask+ secures right onto my pack harness, converting my backpack into my favourite feature on running vests with my water handy in the front, so I’m able to hydrate without stopping. The filter allows me to pull water straight from a source on trail, and the dust cover is a small detail but the best feature because it keeps the dirt out of the nozzle. For easy storage you can just collapse, flatten, and roll it up. 🤗

Would you like to try this new hiking water bottle?
