New on the blog... (link in bio) Who loves a good travel story where everything went right? Well, most of us. Many of us also like a good story where something went hilariously wrong. What about when things just went… wrong? I managed to pack three of these stories into the month of March What Went Wrong With… Couchsurfing? One really awkward conversation. What Went Wrong With… Budget Airlines? Mine went out of business. What Went Wrong With… Sketchy (SKETCHY) Campsites? Prudent (sane) van-dwellers avoid gang activity. #carlyoutsidethebox #blogger #nomad #home #whatwentwrong #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

Dessert for days! Or just for one dinner, if you're serving 60. Did you know I cook for individuals and families too? Would having a personal cook free up your busy evenings? Be in touch! I'm building my summer schedule now. And if you know any busy families in #bozeman MT, send them my way. All the info is at the link in my bio. #carlyoutsidethebox #personalcook #cook #dessert #mealprep

Took my body for a little joggy jog. OTS recovery totally blows. #realtalk Today I ran for 29 minutes, with an average pace of 11:56 minute miles and average heart rate of 134. For me, that's a good training heart rate, but that pace is about 3.5-4 minutes PER MILE slower than I would consider normal. To be fair, my running has suffered more than my aerobic capacity across the board, because a combination of illness and injury has kept me from running consistently for 2.5 years now. It's hard to believe that I'm the same person as 3 years ago. It's hard to believe that I'm ever going to feel like myself again. #overtrainingsyndrome poses one of the most significant threats to my identity I've ever experienced. It's been a tough time. I'm testing the waters with one to two aerobic sessions per week, each lasting 10 to 30 minutes. Today's was my longest yet, in a streak of 4 weeks of occasional activity. I'll be honest: I have times when I don't feel very optimistic. Almost everything in my life revolves around being an athlete in some capacity. It's difficult to make decisions about the future when the future of this part of my identity is so uncertain. . On my blog, you can read more about overtraining syndrome. While my body recovers, I am working on some other projects. You can read about how I started my online business, and how you can do the same, on the blog as well, and check out my other Instagram @energetic_beings for some insight into another of my projects. . All that aside, the run today was beautiful. Thanks TAM 😉 #carlyoutsidethebox #running #overtraining #recovery #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

Quiet Days. I need this. I'm unpacking the craziness that has been the last 6 months, and this takes energy. My body is healing from OTS, I'm sorting out serious questions of identity, I'm adjusting to relationship changes, and of course I'm recovering emotionally from all this disruption. My self-care formula includes: One 2-month dose of: Mountain medicine No cell service Internet only by Ethernet No sounds from roads or cities No light pollution Wood stoves Ice-cold river baths I'm grateful to have the ability to up and go when and where I need to. It requires some creativity, some guts (which I don't always feel like I have), and the willingness to listen to my intuition. On the blog, you can read more about what's been going on lately, including: •Over-Training Syndrome •The process of building my online business (and how you can do the same) •My search for "Home" •And coming soon, tips for fun (and cheap) #vanagon living! #carlyoutsidethebox #mountains #locationindependence #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving #endurance #overtraining #nordicski

A Humble Warrior. That's me. A little yoga practice as my body starts to wake up. In the past couple of weeks I've had some encouraging signs in my recovery from OTS. Right now that means more yoga and a little strength. Nothing aerobic yet. If you've been following the blog, you'll know that I recently made a very last minute decision to revisit a place that I thought was in my past. I've been here for two weeks. 🌄 While here, I am working through serious questions of what my identity is and what direction I want my life to be taking. I have never felt more like a snake shedding its old skin than I do right now. 🐍 I am also softening and allowing myself space to experience the emotions associated with the traumatic relationship shake-ups I've experienced in the past six months. The tarot cards shown are what I drew last night when seeking insight about my relationships. Tarot is a powerful tool, even if you don't believe that there's any energetic or psychic power involved. Even if I drew those cards randomly, the introspection it triggers is incredibly valuable. I'm sharing some of my insite over on my other Instagram, @energetic_beings . Take a look if you're so inclined. Leave me a comment or ♥️ if you connect to what I'm saying. It's a powerful thing to know there are other people out there thinking and feeling and living. 🙏 #carlyoutsidethebox #yoga #mountain #tarot #relationship #humblewarrior #overtrainingsyndrom #nomad #home #explore #adventure #digitalnomad #millennials #lifestyle #intentionalliving

Coaching Philosophy

When I work with athletes, I help them get MORE out of the training they put in. Endurance sports can be a fun and easy part of your lifestyle, if you have the right support, accountability, and knowledge.

Through online coaching, you get all of this, combined with the one element that will transform your training from something that you do to part of who you are: FLEXIBILITY.
