Hi, I’m Jen!
I’m originally from Texas, but moved from Austin to the Boulder, Colorado, area in 2009. I greatly missed my friends, family and tex-mex, so I turned to the Boulder trails to cope. And that’s where I fell in love with trail running! Over the years I’ve done some pretty freaking awesome trail events, but these are my all-time faves…
My Fave Trail Events
TransRockies Run: 6Day, 120 Mile Stage Race #lifechanging
Pikes Peak Doubler: Ascent Saturday/Marathon Sunday
Moab Trail Marathon: spectacular + can’t beat the local vibe
Leadville Heavy Half: as epic as Pikes Peak, but affordable!
Oregon Coast 50K: sooo gorgeous!
Ragnar Relay: 8 women running all night? #partay
Cactus Rose 50 Miler: a total butt kicker, but gorgeous
When I started building my tiny house I really wanted to name it after one of my favorite trails, but I just couldn’t decide. Lion’s Lair was a top contender (and actually is my fave Boulder trail) but Lioness Lair just didn’t have the same ring to it. Nor did Sanitas. Or Dream Lake. Or marmot, or lady marmalade. So I ended up with Trailhead Tiny. I think it has a nice ring to it. It’s always good to be back at the trailhead. 🙂
I’m also a single mom of two awesome, hilarious and super creative humans, ages 19 & 21. And I work ful-time as a graphic designer, which I love.
If you want to know more of my story, make sure to watch my YouTube tour! I was a total hot mess prepping for it.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Trails,
Jen
