Hey there,

Thanks for checking out my journal. What is this place? Well it’s just an informal space on the good ole interweb where I can collect my thoughts about running and the outdoors.

Who am I?

My name is Ryan FitzPatrick, I’m a native Washingtonian living in a little valley town on the eastside of Seattle. I’m an avid trail runner, outdoor adventurer, surfer, dad, and a marketing expert. I love to talk all things running and I even love to engage in the trail running community through a multitude of ways. I’m just an average guy with zero expertise but a whole lot of passion for the sport.

My philosophy?

Informality. I don’t like to take myself too seriously, and I don’t like to treat my thoughts and ramblings as “professional” or buttoned up. I will approach this journal with my thoughts, ideas, excitement and refrain from trying to approach everything from an unnecessary level of perfection. It’s just a journal!

What kinds of stuff will be on here?

Shoe talk, gear talk, upcoming releases, race commentary, community news and conversations, ideas, thoughts, concerns, questions, humor, how to be a dad and a trail runner, and lots and lots of informal and unpolished brain dumps.

Hope this gives you a little glance into what I’m all about here. At the end of the day, my only wish is that you read this and get a little bit of fuel and inspiration to get out and Into the Wild.

Why subscribe?

Thanks for your support!

Cheers,

Ryan from Into the Wild
