“You can learn from yourself. You put yourself in a position to do something that you might think is impossible, and then you make it possible. You open yourself up to this pure, raw, real, creative part of yourself. And if you can take that from the place of physical movement, and apply it to your daily life, when you’re interacting with your friends, peers, and you can be that real, raw person, yourself … how beautiful could this world be?
Krissy Moehl. TEDx Talk, 2011.
Trail-runner, ultra-marathoner and Patagonia ambassador Krissy Moehl will be visiting Santa Cruz Friday, Jan. 15, to promote her new book, "Running your first Ultra."
Appropriately, the evening begins at 6pm with a run. Not one of Krissy’s usual 100-mile jaunts (obviously), this will be a three-mile fun-run from the Patagonia Outlet through downtown Santa Cruz and back. It will be dark, so bright colors, costumes, and headlamps are all encouraged. All levels of runners are encouraged to participate.
At 7pm, the doors to the Patagonia Outlet will open for conversation along with free refreshments followed by a short film and slideshow presentation chronicling some of the adventures Krissy's legs and lungs have taken her on. The evening will conclude with a Q&A session and a book signing.
Patagonia Outlet, 415 River St, Santa Cruz. 6pm. Free.
