Our large staff of industry experts is ready to serve you. To help you learn a little more about us, we asked our PT colleagues to answer one question: What are one or more things you're passionate about?
I am incredibly passionate about live music, having played guitar in a country-rock band from 2010-2017. Performing is the best, but I also love going to concerts just as a fan. If Dead and Company are in town, you will likely see me on the lawn! I am also extremely passionate about East Carolina University football. Go Pirates!
I'm a son, husband, and father, and I'm passionate about living out those roles to the fullest. My family comes first, but I'm also a technology enthusiast and maker [and fixer] of things.
More than anything else, I'm passionate about research and ideas. I enjoy games and sports, but what's more interesting to me is figuring out how they work and how everything fits together.
I'm probably best known for my passion for baking. Thanks to the willingness of my co-workers to consume my creations, I'm able to bake way more than one person could possibly eat (though I think I will always be slightly ashamed of the amount of butter in my freezer at any given moment). However, I like to think that I'm doing my part to keep up office morale, especially on Monday mornings.
No. When we first announced this page to our staff, we required everyone to participate—a rarity at PT, where we typically only demand 100% participation if it's a requirement for our business operations. But after hearing strong pushback from a few folks, we made participation optional. Some of our staff object to having any digital presence associated with their workplace, and we wanted to respect that preference.
Video games. I've been playing them for as long as I can remember. There's something special about having a wholly interactive entertainment medium that lets you experience such a wide variety of things, from great stories, to fantastical worlds.
Making memories with my two wild and lovable little girls. When I'm not taking part in our daily living room dance parties, I love to read, play the French horn, and watch hockey. My favorite place to be is around the campfire, enjoying great music and the sounds of nature with the people I love.
I like traveling, hiking, basketball, and watching football (I'm a Patriots fan). I also like history and archeology.
Cycling is the perfect sport—great exercise, expensive equipment, and cool data-gathering devices. My passion for cycling comes instead from the solitude. It's just me, wind in my face, enjoying the serenity of trees and farms, the long vistas of the coast, or the beauty of the mountains. Other cyclists make it the best of both worlds—alone with friends. Cycling is also when I feel closest to God, enjoying the glory of His creation.
I've had a life-long love of the outdoors. My main hobby is photography: www.clydebeamer.com Edward Abbey said, "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells...into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles...and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm..."
A few of the things I am passionate about are traveling, having new experiences, and making memories with family; photography; bodybuilding; jiu-jitsu; and Krav Maga.
As cliché as it may be as a learning professional, my passion is learning. While I do enjoy learning about just about everything, I'm a cultural anthropologist at heart; I love studying the cultures, traditions, and beliefs of peoples near and far. I consider myself a student of the world and, as such, I am equally as passionate about travel! A life without travel is not one I'd want to live.
Punctuation, popsicles, and the color pink.
I like gaming and LEDs.
I am passionate about music, both as a listener and a player. I have been playing music since I was eight years old, when I began taking piano lessons, and have since learned to play a range of other instruments, including guitar, bass, and drums. I also have a collection of hundreds of LPs of a wide variety of genres, from classical to pop to experimental.
There are many places on our site where you can learn what we do. Here, we're giving you a glimpse of who we are. Our team has a diverse range of interests outside of work, so instead of asking folks to talk about their jobs, we wanted to highlight some of the many things we're passionate about as individuals.
I am passionate about people and their stories. I love writing for work and pleasure, and am an information and experience junkie. I'm here to create entertaining and engaging stories that people relate to and learn from. Feed my brain, my soul, or my stomach and magic follows. Interesting fact: I get excited about just about everything that I do.
One of my top passions is fostering with Doxie By Proxy, a wonderful breed specific rescue. There is nothing more rewarding than being able to rehabilitate a dog who has been in bad situation with behavioral issues and help them become a happy healthy dog. Every dog I have fostered then sent off to complete a lucky family has a piece of my heart. (Good thing hearts are an infinite resource!)
My passion is working as a volunteer Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC). I believe that breastfeeding education and public awareness improves maternal and fetal health outcomes and I actively promote the care and wellbeing of families in my local community. One way I do this is by serving as the NC rep for NormalizeBreastfeeding.org, where I coordinate monthly support sessions, manage an annual public awareness event, and provide advocacy for workplace pumping and public breastfeeding.
I'm passionate about all things coding, anime, and video games. I'm really into speedrunning and competitive fighting games.
My family. I have two little kids. I enjoy their laughter and watching them learn and grow. I'm excited to see what their interests will be and how I can support them in that. I also love music. I play keyboard and occasionally sing on my church worship team.
I am passionate about saving the environment and endangered species. One of my favorite places is the Duke Lemur Center. There I can help keep some of the most critically endangered creatures in the world from vanishing. Quiet forests and empty meadows are right up there as favorite places too. And did I mention—lemurs!
Music is in my blood, passed down from my musical family. My undergraduate degree is in piano. I love everything from Brahms to Van Halen to Esperanza Spalding, from Shirley Horn to New Order to Kendrick Lamar. And, I don't want to be mired in the old; I want to continuously evolve, to seek and find the great and bold, the passion in the new. One of life's greatest gifts is discovering new music.
Winning. I love the thrill of winning. That sounds like George Patton-esque, American football boosterism, but I don't mean it just in the sense of head-to-head competition, though I can't deny I love that too. I'm thinking of a greater game where the goal is finding paths through complex problems to help everyone involved. There's an undeniable sense of satisfaction in understanding a complex problem and coming up with an inclusive answer where everyone wins.
The look on someone's face when something new clicks for the first time, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the teamwork and breadth of expertise that go into creating that moment. I enjoy the creativity of cooking and the serenity of yoga. I love long walks with my dog Ollie and my husband Bobby, visiting my family in the Finger Lakes, and watching my beautiful nephews play and grow.
I'm most passionate about trying to improve the lives and living conditions of as many as possible through an empathetic worldview. Other pastimes include Philly sports, all forms of media entertainment, and spending time with loved ones.
Mountain biking, travel, and Finnish sauna.
I love reading anything that reveals something new about the world or human behavior, including mysteries and histories, theology, classic novels, and biographies. I enjoy great films, beautiful music of any genre, and cooking for family and friends. My dreams for the future include extended travel, designing my own house, and finishing my pilot's license. I have a heart for abused and forgotten children, and have volunteered in foster care ministries for almost 20 years.
I'm passionate about my family. My wife and two boys mean the world to me, so it's amazing to watch them excel in their own interests, whether it's music, technology, or sports for the kids, or graduate studies for my wife. I have a growing army of nieces and nephews I'm proud to be uncle to. I also love traveling. While I love NC, I enjoy seeing new places and need to schedule more trips!
We aim to be the best place to work for our staff. Inherent in that mission is respecting their desires. Some folks prefer not to be on camera, and others simply would rather not have their pictures online. Though we asked folks to participate in this page, we didn't force anyone to have a photo; instead, they could choose a color block or a different image to represent themselves.
I love unicorns and the color pink. I treasure my friends and family. I have a precious little boy whom my life revolves around. I enjoy arts and crafts. From sewing to calligraphy to making jewelry, I love it all!
People. Family. Outdoors. Singing. Best when multiple are combined. Building things with my hands. Summiting mountains with my sons. Keeping old cars running forever. Downhill single-track on a mountain bike. Helping others grow. These are few of my favorite things.
In addition to my family, I am passionate about the outdoors, and protecting it for future generations. I also have a passion for assisting the children of southern Africa and do so through the charity Reaching a Generation USA. I love to read non-fiction, particularly related to the history of technology. My two favorite accomplishments are canoeing down the Yukon River in Alaska with my son, and riding in a charity bicycle ride across Africa.
I passionately enjoy life and loving those around me. I love capturing priceless moments in time with my camera, especially of my dogs. I love to travel to other cities and to see new places in my own town. I adore a great glass of wine with a fantastic meal and cannot live without music or sports. Passion. It's what living is.
I joined a gym with close to personal trainer coach-to-student ratio in March. I don't know if I can say I am passionate about it, but it has certainly helped me focus on full-body health and eating cleaner and healthier. I guess you could say I am in a better late than never phase of my life.
Equality, environmental preservation of Madagascar and the oceans, prehistoric megafauna, fiber arts, trap-neuter-return programs, and watching bad movies with friends.
When I'm not working, I'm spending time with friends and family going to local restaurants, museums, and events (like the pimento cheese festival!). I especially love Carolina Hurricanes games. I love the sport and the atmosphere, and I've gotten really close with my Canes Fam inside and outside the arena. I'm also passionate about photography, particularly macro photography, where you can pick up on details and textures up close.
I'm passionate about making the world a better place, experiencing as much of it as I can, conserving its natural resources, and earning the friendship of people I meet along the way. I'm also very passionate about faith, inclusion, coffee, hospitality, empanadas, fitness, all things biology, and doing things the right way.
More than I can list here. Reinventing business, creating companies that put people above profit. Writing, in fiction, non-fiction, and everyday life. Media, from books to movies to music; I constantly crave input. Food, not just haute cuisine, but meals of all sorts: I've flown to Spain for a dinner, but I've also crossed six lanes of traffic to experience a two-for-a-quarter hot dog. And, of course, family and friends, those we choose to love.
I love to travel as often as possible. When I'm exploring new places, I always try to sample new foods, go for hikes, go for swims, learn bits and pieces of a new language, talk to strangers, leave only footprints, and take only pictures!
We believe titles limit potential. We want to empower each of our staffers to learn and grow outside the bounds of any one role. Without job titles, some folks have worked in multiple areas at once, while others have transitioned their work organically from testing to graphic design, social media to web development, and more—and PT is better for it.
Rediscovering distance running
My greatest passion is being a dad to my two young girls. We're at the stage of life where they require a lot of attention, and I'm really enjoying getting to spend as much time with them as I can. They constantly crack me up. My wife and I jokingly ask what we did with all of our time before we had kids!
My wife and two girls are the driving force behind everything that motivates me. My passion for my family pushes me to do good work, treat others with kindness, and help people whenever I can.
The most important thing to me is my kids: my son, Andrew who just graduated from high school and became an Eagle Scout, and my daughter, Addison, who's an extremely creative, artsy ten-year-old. I also enjoy coaching XC and track at Cary High School, and I love music, whether that means going to concerts and festivals or just listening to my record collection at home.
I grew up on a farm, and in a lot of ways, I enjoy re-capturing the fun times I had as a kid. I like working with my hands—carpentry, gardening, and caring for my chickens, which my daughter named. My kids work with me, so I can teach them the same things I learned when I was young—that kind of work gives me a sense of peace.
Dogs > cats. UNC > NC State > Duke. I break for doodles and coffee. Donuts are a necessary evil.
The outdoors. There's nothing like being there. Especially after being inside in a nice temperature regulated office, eyes focused on screens most of the day. No matter if it's a city park with nice view of the skyline, or a national park far away from it all, I feel at home, inspired, and humbled.
My first passion was swimming. Through it I learned the value of hard work, experienced joy in individual and team success, and ultimately found myself. I will never forget breaking my first state record or spending three summers as a summer league coach. Now I get to pass my love of swimming on to my three young kids. Watching them in the water gives me pure joy, and has even brought tears to my eyes.
Like most people, I'm passionate about many personal things, particularly making sure my kids and partner are happy and healthy. And I feel similarly about the Durham community, so I proudly serve as an appointed official on the city of Durham Human Relations Commission, working to achieve racial equity in the community.
I love working at PT—what's more fun than bossing computers around with programs, researching facts, and working with the great PT team? Outside of work, I love reading—histories, mysteries, newspapers—and spending time with friends, family, and pets. In terms of causes, I'm most passionate about promoting public education for children, particularly in the arts and sciences.
Apart from spending time with my family and friends, you will often find me reading. As a child, trips to the local library every week sparked a passion for reading and learning that led to a degree in English literature. I am also passionate about helping others, whether that is assisting on projects at the office or teaching preschool children at my church.
I enjoy working on my patio and growing plants and veggies; spending time with family; and playing video games.
Traveling, spending time with family & friends, playing handbells, and being active in my church.
My passions are spending time with my family and friend family, building loving, challenging, and meaningful relationships. Whether it's rock climbing, video games, or playing guitar, it all goes back to that.
Being upside-down. I love doing handstands, AcroYoga, and weight lifting. It's exciting to watch my body progress and be able to perform these cool feats. I am passionate about creating things; baking macaroons, inventing new recipes, wood turning, and developing websites. I love starting with nothing and watching new things blossom. Finally, I am an advocate for mental health—I believe it is important for everyone to respect their brain as much as physical health.
I spend most of my time on the weekends relaxing, spending time with friends, and playing action RPGs—right now, I'm working my way through Westworld and Breath of the Wild on the Switch.
There's so much to see and do wherever you go in life. I love to be out of doors and in nature, and being interested in cars and motoring certainly helps getting to those places! If there happens to be good food along the way, and people to meet along the way, all the better!
While my work is almost entirely focused on technology, I spend my free time combining technology with art. Photography, travel, and writing are passions that I document on Geek Field Guide. More recently, I've picked up astrophotography, electronics design, and 3D printing as other places to spend brain cycles. Sometimes I remember to sleep.
Travel and music are two of my biggest passions. I love exploring. Whether it's some secluded hiking trail, a huge city, or some ancient ruins, I am happy and content experiencing any and all new places. Music also keeps me going. Not a single day goes by where I don't sing or play an instrument for fun or for church.
I am passionate about technology, electric cars, aviation, and anything related to rockets and spacecraft that one day will enable people to live on other planets.
Family means the most to me. I have three wonderful kids who keep me and my wife on our toes. I am also an eternally optimistic Wolfpack fan.
One of the many things I love about sound is its power to dictate mood and feeling. It can sharpen fuzzy memories, enrich storytelling, and inspire future action. When I'm not engineering at PT, I'm hanging with my awesome wife and cats. I also play drums in Console Command, a metal band that reimagines video game soundtracks and takes listeners on a nostalgic joyride: https://www.consolecommand.band/
I'm passionate about connections: relationally, geographically, conceptually, historically, spiritually. Whether it's getting coffee with a new friend, getting to know my city a bit better, drawing together motifs in literature, or asking questions about how things became the way they are, I love making and maintaining connections. There is so much to learn in this world that is so mysteriously and wonderfully held together.
It might sound weird that a graphic designer's passion is literacy and reading comprehension, but it's mine. I didn't always have the words for what I wanted to express—until one of my professors helped me find my voice. Now, if I could, I would start a non-profit that helps empower everyone. Having the ability to read and communicate effectively is a superpower no one can take from you once you have it.
I'm passionate about great writing. There are lots of elements of good writing, all important and interesting to me, but I particularly love reading an evocative phrase that makes me think about something ordinary in a new and extraordinary way. Those moments are what I most want to achieve in my own writing, and what I love finding in the writing of others.
Forged in Brooklyn, polished in Durham.
I love working with my hands to create new things and fix old ones. The satisfaction I get from producing something useful, whether physical or digital, using only basic materials and inspiration, is a terrific reward. I make furniture and robots, cartoons and gadgets, muppets, games and even a cabin in the woods. I can also (try to) repair almost anything. An even greater reward is watching my kids as they do the same.

We Create Fully Connected Systems So You Can Focus On Your Business
Too often, the time-consuming task of procurement is a spontaneous process performed by various members of staff whenever stocks are low. However, when the supply chain is running inefficiently, companies endure the risk of downtime when stock runs out, or a lack of space for high-volume orders.
And with no clear system of stock planning in place, highly-paid staff waste valuable time on routine jobs such as ordering and replacing toner.

To help celebrate the season with our readers this year, Broadway.com asked several stars of some of our favorite Broadway shows to capture a glimpse of what the holidays look like at their place of work. From dressing room décor to Secret Santa parties, each company celebrates in its own unique way. At Wicked, we got Glinda to do our yuletide bidding, as the lovely Annaleigh Ashford snapped away backstage at the Gershwin Theatre. From the decorated wig room to the hallway of snowflakes, Annaleigh's camera gathered a very festive atmosphere while Wicked's heavily populated world of dressers, stage managers, stage hands and cast members prepared for a performance during the holidays.

Update at 12:22 a.m. ET. Medical Examiner Confirms 5 Killed
The Associated Press is reporting that the Oklahoma medical examiner's office says 5 people have been killed in the tornado outbreak in the Oklahoma suburbs.
Update at 9:55 p.m. ET. Highway Patrol Says Two Killed:
A mother and baby were killed in the Oklahoma City area during the storm, the Associated Press reports, citing the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
"Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph says troopers found the bodies in a vehicle along Interstate 40 west of the city Friday.
"Tornadoes slammed Oklahoma City and its suburbs, crumbling cars and tractor-trailers."
Update at 9:10 p.m. ET. Highway Patrol Says Motorists Hurt, Missing:
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says some motorists have been injured in the storms and others are missing, but has not given specific numbers.
Update at 7:45 p.m. ET. NWS Issues Tornado Emergency for Oklahoma City Suburbs:
The National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., says it is tracking "a large and extremely dangerous tornado 6 miles southeast of El Reno. The emergency covers Oklahoma City, as well as Moore, which was hit by a massive EF-5 tornado last week that killed 24 people.
NWS calls it a "life threatening situation" and warns people to get underground if possible.
KFOR described the tornado as "a mile wide."
The Associated Press says damage was reported south of Interstate 40 near El Reno after the twister swept through, but that so far there had been no reports of injuries.
It said several funnels had touched down south of El Reno, 25 miles west of Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has closed I-40 in Oklahoma City and issued a warning for motorists to exit the interstate and seek shelter.
Trooper Betsy Randolph told the AP that numerous vehicles were damaged in the storm and that many motorists are stranded.
KWTV reports that about 1,200 people were sheltered at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City, which halted operations due to the storm.
Here's our original post
This has become a daily feature:
The National Weather Service is warning — as it has each day for the past couple weeks — that there could be dangerous storms across much of the nation's mid-section.
Where to be on alert: "From northwest Texas to the Great Lakes," with the potential for "tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds from central Oklahoma to parts of the Ozarks Friday afternoon and evening."
On Thursday, according to The Weather Channel, "at least three tornadoes touched down in Oklahoma, including one in Tulsa, and two more hit Arkansas. ... At least nine people were injured."
Looking ahead, the National Weather Service expects strong storms will strike again on Saturday from Texas up to the Great Lakes, and predicts there will at least be thunderstorms across an even wider swath of the eastern half of the nation. There isn't any relief expected for the states that have suffered the most in recent weeks — most notably Oklahoma — until Sunday.

Exercise in health and dishealth
Here are some statements from Captain Obvious (me):
1. Just because you exercise, does not mean you are healthy
2. Though I may be in relatively good shape physically, no one reading this blog should look at me as a model of good psychiatric health.
The other day, I received an email from a Russian woman living in Israel who thanked me for the inspiration to keep running while pregnant. She had what sounded like a healthy and happy pregnancy experience followed by a home birth of her beautiful baby boy. The boy's name means "lion of God" in Hebrew. Anyone know what that name is? I hope other women in Israel have been inspired by her. And if anyone reading this blog wants a good resource for how to use your mind to overcome the pain of childbirth, I can put you in touch with her.
I have been happy to be able to reassure women that exercise in pregnancy is healthy. And that women have better pregnancies and babies have better outcomes because of it. But I also owe it to the readers of this blog to point out that, heck, I am not someone who is to be modelled when it comes to exercise habits! I exercise to stay sane and thus exercise way too much, when I have the time, and rarely train right. But yeah, you can run 6 marathons while pregnant, enjoy it and know it isn't dangerous.
I'm getting to the point. Don't worry. I have shown this post to SR and my sister already and it is a big deal for me to come out with this.
I have many times alluded to my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and that is something I am comfortable with because I have come to terms with it and actually have greatly improved my symptoms simply by becoming educated about the condition. And the fact that I have battled with anorexia has also come up often. It is an enemy I know well and will most likely fight it my entire life (my current BMI of 17.3 does not speak to my condition being under control).
But during approximately the entire month of January, I was even further from normal. It seems many of you could detect it despite my not writing about it directly. I didn't know how to write about it, because I didn't know what it was. Though, looking back, the words "crazy", "depressed" "lonely" and "manic" all came up.
It has happened four times now. A period of about a month where I can't sleep; I am restless, short-tempered, obnoxious to be around and riddled with anxiety and guilt which cycle viciously inside of me. I had told SR when we started dating now 5 years ago that I had just had a manic episode (that one worked out well because I was on trauma surgery and when I walked home from work I could sit in SR's back yard and dream about knocking on his door in the middle of the night). But I hadn't had one since. And I didn't even know that's what it was until it was over (despite being confronted by more than one immediate family member about getting psychiatric help - and I wanted it desperately). And then sometime around last Thursday (10 days ago), it started to end. And I was somehow breathing more normally and thinking clearly.
It is such a gift to be calm again. I am ashamed to go into details about our trip to Mammoth Lakes and that is why I didn't write much about it at the time. As my sister, who was along, described, the dark circles under my eyes just kept getting darker. I would wake up hours before everyone and sit there with my coffee, shaking and with tears in my crazy eyes waiting for everyone to wake up, for someone to say they would watch the kids while I went for a run. I only got myself to ski one run (skiing was just too relaxing for me, I guess). I was so focused on running every available minute of babysitting time. I even stayed up nearly all night one night while SR watched the kids and I ran on icy mountain trails in the moonlight. I didn't want the rest of my family knowing that I needed to run nearly a marathon the same night that I had run a marathon during the day...
And what on earth? I have no idea now how I ran a 3:14 marathon on the treadmill two days after running a 20 mile PR on the treadmill and then two days later running a 20 mile tempo again. I would lay awake in bed envisioning running an actual marathon and I thought if someone simply showed me a starting line, I could finish in less than 3 hours. As of today, I have absolutely no clue how I could have thought that. Many of you probably thought I was lying about those running times, but I wasn't.
And the shear stupidity of buying plane tickets to run a marathon in New Orleans without my family! What was I thinking? I remember not being able to tell SR that I bought them, feeling like a thief in the night. Well, I'm not going. I wasted a ton of money and I regret it enormously. (We are now running a 5k together that weekend in La Crosse to raise money for the Special Olympics). How could I forget my love of trails, local races and running with my husband?
Ok. I could easily write a novel about the now four manic and two or three depressed episodes (the depressed episodes are not as clearly delineated for me as the manic ones) I have had, but I think you all know enough to get my point.
I do realize that writing this is not a great strategic career move. And it doesn't make me appear to have things under control. But I am okay with that. I often wonder if the mental health of ultra runners is a bit of a neglected topic. Rather than going into tons of details right now, I would just like to open things up for discussion. Whatever comes into your head is okay.
I am in such a good mood these days that I can take any sort of accusations. Bring them on. Just having my "old self" back again is something that makes me incredibly thankful. I can't help thinking of the meaning of the name Mattias, "gift of God".
No, I am not saying I am suddenly "normal", I am only saying, I feel good in my skin once again.
After taking two days of running just 1 mile. Not 1 times 10, just 1, I was ready for some good running again. Here I am after a 21 miler, modeling my new compression tubes fron Compressport, which I am testing for Ultrarun.com. I really like them. (sorry, but I don't think I look like a woman with a BMI of 17.3 Or do I also have body dysmorphic disorder?). Oh, and now you know our address. Or at least the number :).
The running song of the day was inspired by my favorite moment at the Grammy awards (I really knew I wasn't manic anymore when I sat down and watched almost the entire thing with Christian and El Guapo):
The Beach Boys, clearly older than they used to be, walk out on stage and begin playing "Good Vibrations", the cameras almost seems to avoid Brian Wilson but then focus in on his empty, sort of stone-crazy, eyes. Everyone at home must have shifted uncomforably. But out of him comes the most beautiful "I. I love the colorful clothes you wear.." and the world breathed a happy sigh of relief.
Here is an HD recording from the early days:
There are so many things I could say about this amazing song, but I'll keep it to
1. electro-theremin
2. perfect bridge
3. fun running song
67 comments:
I was actually wondering today, while on my run, if you were going through some sort of manic phase. Yes, I think about others' lives while running. Now, if I could just figure out my own life while running.
Do you think you are bipolar? Do you thinkhave you areto addicted to running? Are you going to get help? It seems as though when things are good people tend to not want to get help anymore because you know, things are good.
I think it's worth looking into even if it's just a counselor/social works. Someone to give you an outside point of view.
As far as your body goes, you look fine. But telling you that is not going to fix how you see yourself.
Anyway, I think it's very brave of you to write this post. - 20 February 2012 at 01:51

SLG - i don't know what to say, I think it is wonderfully brave of you to write this post. i guess I do wonder if post-pardum played into this last episode at all. perhaps now, while you are feeling more sane, is the best time to seek some help and get ahead of this before the next episode. bi-polar or just anxiety disorder are very treatable... regardless i send you a large, warm, bumpy hug and i hope you continue to feel well and be well (and maybe.. sorry to nag... put on just a little bit of weight, you do look terribly thin in your photos).

- cherelli said...
Ah SLG, phew - you ARE human! (jokes). I was wondering the same as Piccola re PPD/hormone shift as a possibility, but you sure did have a heck of a lot of things going on in your life the past month (or two) which wouldn't have helped. It's great that you DO have an outlet, even if it is running - but I guess even more important then to feed yourself good food (nutrient dense)...personally I think you look very very slim, upping that BMI a bit wouldn't hurt (might make you stronger!) but you don't quite look "unhealthy", not quite. If there are manic periods - like Kathleen and Piccola said - there are ways to help - even if it's training yourself with new thought processes (a very normal but Type A friend of mine attends an anxiety group once a week and is learning some useful tricks to help her)....you are a strong, multi-talented woman but everyone has their own weakness, I guess the more you learn about it and understand it, the lesser that weakness will become. Love that you have SR to watch you through it and be there for you.

"I often wonder if the mental health of ultra runners is a bit of a neglected topic."
Normally I wouldn't comment, but you did ask for it. :)
I agree. I see a lot of ultra-runners and cyclists who are battling their demons on the race course. A lot of recovering alcoholics, folks who deal with depression, and so on. I think a book could and should be written on the topic.
As a sometime ultra-runner I use running as my medication. I know that if I'm not feeling right I need to get out and exercise. Usually an hour does it for me and unlike yourself I find it hard to get out the door and get started.
The mania thing reminds me of Graeme Obree the Scottish cyclist. A great athlete, but not a model of mental health. Mania is a scary thing from the outside, I'm sure you know. I'm glad you're back. - 20 February 2012 at 03:46
Oh honey. I'm so glad to read this, not because I'm happy that you've been going through this, but because it represents a level of self-honesty that I've never seen you display before.
You know what's going on. You've had a lot of major life changes recently, and for someone who is susceptible to OCD/mania/anorexia, it's almost inevitable that something like that will happen. I hope that you get whatever help you need to get better-even if that is just writing this post.
Rebecca in MI - 20 February 2012 at 03:54
This post really floored me. You obviously have some awareness regarding what is going on, but like some other commenters, I think seeking counseling could be extremely helpful. Hormones/ life changes seem to have triggered your thoughts/feelings/behaviors and therapy could really help you get ahead of these things next time before deterioration. It is fascinating how mental instability can yield some seemingly positive results i.e. your outstanding race times which then become easy to focus on and spin as a good thing. I don't mean this to sound critical at all, but you seem like the kind of person to try to figure it out yourself because you are very intelligent and could easily "figure out" what's wrong , how to fix it, etc. But I hope you will let someone else guide you and support you. Take care of yourself.

First a disclaimer: I know zip about running ultras and psychiatry, so please take my first comments with a pinch of salt (as Danes say).
It sounds to me as if you're "self-medicating" doing exercise as others might do drugs or alcohol to adjust the levels of dopamine and serotonin in their brain. While I have no doubt that running is no-end better for you and your family than some of the alternatives there might be even better techniques that can help you cope with the manic and not so manic periods. Waking up in the dark desperate for a run could interfere negatively with other aspects of your life.
I agree with PPC that it's probably less difficult to learn some of these techniques (cognitive therapy?) when you're not in acute need of them.
I think you look very thin but not unhealthy in the picture, but SR is probably in a better position to judge that.
In addition (no salt required here), if a future employer stumbles across this post and does not find this level of self-insight and honesty admirerable and highly hire-worthy she needs new spectates.
All the best from down under,

Thank you for sharing and clarifying what you've only alluded to in posts over the last few months. Although mental health issues have lost much of their stigma over the last few decades, I still think they need to be talked about more. If you were experiencing a physical ailment, it would be normal to discuss it, so why shouldn't a mental health issue be the same? I agree with previous comments that now is a good time to seek out professional help and advice. I certainly am not qualified to weigh in on a diagnosis/treatment, but I can be a concerned reader who would love for you to be able to find balance in your life.
I'm glad your manic episode is over and you're feeling better. A BMI of 17.5? You know how I feel about measurements like BMI and weight--for the most part they are useless--but my goodness that's a low number. Take care of yourself!
Oh, and since you asked what the Hebrew name is...I really like the name Ariel. - 20 February 2012 at 08:50
I think you need friends who are more radical in telling you how destrucitve your behaviour is! Who don´t tell you that you still look healthy (because you think that when you look healthy than your weight is still too high, right?!). You are right in the middle of destroying yourself. Probably you need to stop taking part in ANY EBDURANCE EXERCISE WHATSOEVER for some time, just like an alcoholic you cannot continue to drink some. But the thought to give up the high that excessive calorie-burning gives you is horrifying, right? Get yourself some help, you are too deep into it to solve it on your own!

Since I speak Hebrew fluently, I can only agree with Dina that Ariel is a beautiful name!
SLG, you are so brave and I know what it takes to write what you did. Unfortunately I also know that eating disorders are our companions for life. We just have to know how to handle them. The question is, can you right now? And what will you do about it? SR is there for you, but there are also two little boys who need their mom...
Take care and this time I have to send you a hug! - 20 February 2012 at 13:52

Sorry, I meant Diana

I absolutely love your blog and your honesty. You know many of your readers have wondered at times about the choices you made. I think this post explains things really well. There is a literature out there on running and mood disorders and addictions; I think some of the best ultra runners have some sort of psychological issue, and they are coping via exercise. I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing, but you have to keep an eye on it. I certainly know that I would be anxious and depressed without exercise.
I don't think you look like a woman with a 17.3 BMI. But, it is not about the weight. You have the behaviors and the mental demons. You are in a lot of pain and not happy. I think seeking help from a psychologist who understands runners would be really helpful long term. You have a lot of potential as a runner but also as a writer and doctor and mother. This all can go away. People in our lives sometimes lose patience..
Good luck with all of these! Don't let it get to the back of your mind! - 20 February 2012 at 14:22

You are brave to be so open and write this post, putting everything out there in public. I too like others wonder if there is a post-partum component to this. Besides that you are going through a lot of big changes with moving, the kids, job, etc. Please take care of yourself and get help if you need it, I think this was a first big step. I know from experience with an ED amongst other things that getting it all out there is a huge step and makes you feel like a weight is lifted.
I don't think you look overly thin, but it isn't about weight it is more about being and feeling healthy. - 20 February 2012 at 14:33

What you got is a no-brainer. What keeps you progressing is SR kind of liking it and supporting it - he said it in no certain terms that he likes your exercise obsession, your thinness and your OCD. Whether or not you want to change it is a whole different deal. Make a decision and stick with it with all your OCD. Until then, it's only wasting words, even if so many like your openness and honesty and self-beating.
p.s. I am not sure about your liking 10 mpm pace either, honey:) I see you blasting sub-8's on long runs and sub-6's on mile repeats! - 20 February 2012 at 15:57
- Olga said...
btw, what I also meant is that if it works for you two, and the whole family, it's nobody's business and therefore doesn't "require fixing", and unless the family that you are decide that it is destructive, none of us shall tell you what to do and how to deal with it.

Hey SLG, so glad you're out of that phase and able to recognize the problem! It sounds like a lot of things came together at once to make the last month especially grueling: moving, possible postpartum hormone issues, dead of winter, SR gone a lot . . .
Several people already said now is probably the best time to work on some coping mechanisms to get you through these episodes. I agree!! It's great that SR is there to support you and I'm sure you guys will find a way to get you happy and healthy again. - 20 February 2012 at 22:02
Thank u for your honesty. Sometimes it's hard to be honest with ourselves and others but I commend u .

I am reading all of these comments, often multiple times. It is hard for me to believe how generous you all can be with your time and advice and thoughts. Hearing what you guys have to say is amazingly helpful. I am not saying it substitutes for, you know, professional help. But it is clear to me that you guys have really read what I wrote and that you have constructive ideas.
I also should have mentioned that we have no health insurance in America, so seeing "a professional" is not a very affordable option at this moment. The beauty of the American healthcare system! - 21 February 2012 at 00:43
SLG - if counseling is something you wish to pursue, many, many clinics and centers offer sliding scale fee services and sometimes even free. I work in the field and another option is if there is a university nearby with a training school you can access services that way. Support groups vs. Individual work is also much more affordable although sometimes more intimidating. Good luck finding what works for you.

Ditto Grace...I am in the field and offer a sliding scale.
I have much more to say but don't have time right this minute to say what I want to say. For now, be kind to yourself. There's only one you. - 21 February 2012 at 01:48

I remember distinctly going through a dark period 7 months after my first baby, and 5 months after my second. I believe that postpartum junk (especially if bfeeding is involved?) can sneak on up on a person long after the critical first few weeks. That dark period after my second is proving to be a real turning point for me... hopefully yours will be the same.
- 21 February 2012 at 03:57
I think it is actually very, very common for anorexics to swap classic restriction for obsessive exercise. I did, my thinking remained highly disordered, but i got so much societal feedback for being "healthy" and fit. It was much, much harder to overcome the exercise obsession.
I am largely recovered from my ED, as much as you can be. But in times of stress i still tend to restrict; you've experienced mega stress that probably triggered this episode. When you look back at the periods when you experienced mania do you see a pattern if change or stress precipitating the episode?
I think that it is perfectly ok for you to use lots of running to cope. That's your thing. However, i think that (i am a working wife and mother too, I am not trying to be judge-y, just talking like a girlfriend would) you need to go through a checklist every week or so; am i present in my life? As a mother? Am i really here, being a partner, a wife, a mother, enjoying and participating in their fleeting childhoods? Or am I always chomping at the bit to get away, out the door, back to running? If it is the latter it's not ok. I truly believe that running can absolutely make us better people, wives, mothers. But when it becomes a beast that robs us from our spouses and children it is not healthy. - 21 February 2012 at 07:03
- Danni said...
I think calorie depravation alone feeds mental dishealth. It is almost impossible to feel even when chronically underfed. It also makes it hard to sleep.
Anyhow, I am sorry to hear you have been struggling. It has been a big transition and it is understandable that you would be triggered. I think you owe it to yourself to find a therapist or doc to help you even though you don't have insurance right now. - 21 February 2012 at 07:15
- SteveQ said...
I can either write volumes on the subject or be pithy... so, be good to youself and just completely ignore numbers for a while: no mileage or times, no weight, no counting how many times various things happen. Enjoy the moment.

- hcarlozzi said...
SLG, I commend you for your honesty. I, like many others, had wondered if an ED played a part in your life, and I am so happy you have addressed it. I bet many of your readers can relate. I certainly can as I struggle with some of the same demons. I won't comment on how you look in the pictures... there will be no right answer! If I say you like healthy, you will think I mean fat and if I say you are looking thin then you will secretly be happy. At least that's how my mind works... As someone else mentioned, I think these ED's will be a part of us forever and we have to learn how to manage them. You have two beautiful children, and they will be a wonderful reminder of how important it is for you to stay healthy. Once you feel your OCD take over and exercise etc. get in the way of being present with them, then you will know that you have to do make some changes. I think you are on the right path... hang in there. You are a strong woman, a great mother and you clearly have many special gifts and talents. Take it easy on yourself and treat yourself with the same love and consideration you do your family. Lots of hugs from a Dane in America

SLR - you need to move to MA where everyone is covered under Masshealth. I train interns and post docs in the Psych program at MGH - high quality people you could see. I wonder if other states have something similar to Masshealth. You can try universities with psych graduate program as well.
Also, you can search this site
which has experts in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is the evidenced based treatment for what you describe. Many have sliding fees. Good luck! - 22 February 2012 at 02:52
- Glaven Q. Heisenberg said...
"Good Vibrations" is one of my all-time favorite BB songs. That and "God Only Knows" (misplaced modifier and all).
It's a good choice for this post because Brian Wilson essentially went nuts while the BB were trying to make this album because all of those sounds you hear on the vinyl (it used to be vinyl, back in the day - FYI for you whippersnappers) were in his head and he was having a hard time getting them realized in a way he found acceptable. That's why the album, which was supposed to be called Smile, came out as Smiley Smile in 1967 - because the album wasn't good enough or complete enough to be the Smile Brian had in his mind's eye, but the BB had to release something because, hey, it's always about the money after all, isn't it? Can't move product if you gotz no product to move.
Nearly forty years later, Brian alone would record Smile, which, as you might suspect, sounds about 40 years out of date. Nice artifact to have, I guess, but not as essential as it would have been had he finished it in 1967. (Incidentally, on "GV", he reverted back to the original lyrics - some of which Mike Love changed in '66 - so in the opening couplet, e.g., you get: "Ah! I love the colorful clothes she wears/ And she's already working on my brain" instead of "... And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair" ... which is really unfortunate because, hey, I'm no big Mike Love fan (he could be a real dick), but the Love lyrics are without exception superior to the "original" lyrics Brian reverted to in his 2004 re-recording. (Although "working on my brain" seems far more revealing for a guy who was kinda on the edge of sanity at the time of the original recording. Plus: Brain/Brian? Go to town on that, Dr. Freud! But not too far into town, because ... Brian didn't write the original lyrics - Tony Asher did. Brian's genius was that distinctive, layered, multi-harmonied sound.)
All that said, I'm glad to hear you yourself are in a more harmonious state of mind yourself. I myself have given up on trying to understand what motivates ultra-runners in general. It may be some sort of insanity, but for all I know that type of "insanity" may be what keeps any remarkable person, athlete or otherwise, going and one person's perseverance is probably why we have many of the things we value in life, like fire, vaccines and good beer.
Also, who among us is really sane in any meaningful sense? (You will note I'm not raising my hand, and if SteveQ stops by here again, he damn well better not raise his, because I got a shit-ton more sanity to me than he does.) - 22 February 2012 at 15:14
- SteveQ said...
"It's always something. If they don't make fun of me for my weight, then it's my mental status." - John Goodman, playing "Madman" in a Coen Brothers movie whose name I can't think of just now.
And even that character was more sane than I am. I gots levels of crazy in reserve you ain't even imagined! Now time for me to stand in a sandbox, just like in "Brian Wilson" by Barenaked Ladies, if not real life. - 22 February 2012 at 17:23

It was "Barton Fink." Thanks for introducing me to the term "flot pige," which seems to translate to "hot babe" and not "flat piggy."

@Kathleen, I am touched you were thinking of me AND wondering if I was in a manic phase. You are not the only one who ponders other blog runners while out on your runs. We all have a special connection to each other. As for the rest, thank you. Answers will come out in future posts, I am certain.

@Diana - mental health illnesses will always be viewed differently than, say, cancers, because they are an integral part of our personality and there will always be a lot of guilt and blame mixed up in them, whether or not this should be the case. I mean, a person always has SOME degree of control over their actions and can thus never completely use a mental diagnosis as an excuse. It is a really complicated subejct.

I haven't been reading your blog very long but I wanted to chime in anyways and say that I am another runner who ponders others' blogs while out running and I was wondering what was going on with you. Thank you so much for your honesty and your post. It gave me a lot to think about!

Marathon mom, when you have posted your weight I remember thinking it sounded too light, but you look so good and healthy. Either we are both crazy or we just need to ignore scales and bmi's. You may have a point with post-partum hormones.

Hi there Sea Legs! I haven't read your blog in so long! I'm glad you are cycling back to normal. I can relate. I went on bipolar meds for the first time this year, and it has totally changed my life in a positive way - the smallest dose of Depakote made me a normal human being. Amazing. Running's not going so well for me, though! Trying to fight the fatigue and get back into fighting shape for the season.

- sea legs girl said...
Thanks for bringing that up. As a physician I should of course know these things well. But I don't. I am surprised how hard it is to find someone appropriate to see. As for the sliding scale, it just won't help us too much since SR and I make too much combined to ever qualify for a discount, but paying rents in to countries not to mention all the travels back in forth does not mean we have the money to pay! - 23 February 2012 at 02:53

Danni, I have definitely noticed a correlation between weight loss and the start of "episodes", but for some reason that never stops me from wanting to lose weight. But then again, the pattern is a lot clearer now that it has happened again.
- 23 February 2012 at 03:06
- sea legs girl said...
Steve, I really like the "no counting how many times various things happen". I wish someone had told me that as a child(thankfully as an adult, it has been much less of a problem) . Makes me think you must have some experience with OCD - either yourself or someone close. I ran today with no Garmin, just fyi.

Hcarlozzi. Thank you so much for your honesty and yes, I can tell you can relate. Love your comment about how I look. I am always happy to know Danes in the US, too! How weird is it that yesterday two people in La Crosse, WI came up to me speaking Danish? Gosh, Danes sure know how to see the world.

@Ana-Maria, I went to the website and could not find a single provider in MN or WI that treated anything close to what I do or might have. And it actually didn't look like they had any providers from these two states listed at all. Must be more of an East Coast thing, but what a great database idea! Thank you for your time and thoughts!

@Glaven. It was no accident I posted that song. Glad you caught it. Can't claim to know nearly as much about the BB's as you do, though!

Hi SLG,
Long time reader, first time commenter. I'm also a fellow runner and work in the mental health field, having a fair bit of experience with individuals with anorexia. I admire your bravery and honesty in this post, and wanted to just point out that many of the psychological difficulties you describe experiencing - OCD/obsessive exercise, depression, even "manic" symptoms such as sleeplessness, agitation, etc, are highly correlated with being at a sub-optimal body weight, and in a physiological state of starvation. As a scientist, you might be very interested in reading more about the "Minnesota Starvation Experiment," conducted by Ancel Keys at the University of Minnesota during WWII. I wouldn't normally provide Wikipedia as a reference, but this gives a good overview and lists many of the more relevant scientific publications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment Basically, this demonstrated that previously healthy men who are not getting appropriate calories will develop all of the psychological symptoms you are describing, as well as develop an increased and obsessive need to exercise in some cases. (Recent ED research shows a very strong link between malnutrition and excessive exercise, where the drive to exercise actually *increases* as body weight decreases.) It's also important to remember that what really influences these associated difficulties is whether you are at a sub-optimal body weight/caloric intake for YOU - not whether you are at any particular BMI or percentile. Extremely overweight individuals who rapidly lose weight can develop all of the classic symptoms of anorexia even when at a perfectly normal or "overweight" BMI - I believe the DSMV is likely to modify the current criteria for anorexia nervosa to reflect this reality (or at least it's being discussed). Particularly if you are seeing this mania and other sxs correlated with periods of weight loss for you, I would consider the hypothesis that this is all malnutrition related, and attempt to address this first.
Hope all this is somewhat helpful to you - it just jumped out at me, so I wanted to share. I second or third some of the other commenters too that a great way to get quality psychological services is through training programs at universities and university hospitals - they are most likely to be providing the latest evidence-based treatments, and training clinics typically offer a sliding scale regardless of income. UW-Madison definitely has a clinical psych program, I'm not sure about the university where you are? Or maybe you could even start with a nutritionist with experience in eating disorders if that is most affordable/accessible?
Good luck to you! I hope you can continue to make progress for your beautiful family. Establishing healthy habits now is the best way to ensure that your boys don't struggle with similar issues when they are adults. Sending lots of good thoughts your way! - 24 February 2012 at 00:28
- sea legs girl said...
I think I used to open up a lot more. Sometimes it is hard to know how much to write on a blog. In this instance, I am glad I wrote as much as I did - I have learned a lot from the comments here!
THAT was fascinating to read about. Thank you so much for giving me that link and bringing up the study. I had heard of it before but had completely forgotten. - 24 February 2012 at 03:39
- Kate said...
Seems I'm late to this comment party, so I'm not sure what I could add that hasn't already been said, so I will just say hugs to you and take care of yourself. I agree with those who have advised seeking some form of counseling/therapy even if not covered by insurance.

I stumbled upon your blog since I just found out that I was pregnant and needed some assurance that I could run during my pregnancy. I appreciate your honesty and the fact that you admitted that you have some OCD issues. I went into treatment three years ago for anorexia and an exercise obsession. I hit rock bottom and realized that my priorities were all screwed up. I put starving and running way above my husband and daughter. One thing they emphasized in treatment was that relationships are the most important and meaningful part of your life. To be honest, running never really gives me the same kind of joy that my family and friends do. I can't say that I'm completely cured now, but I've learned how to balance my life. I run early and only do one long run a week. I listen to my body and make sure I have enough energy for my four year old. And, I still have rockin' times on trail marathons (I usually place in the top three of women). My husband and I were talking about affairs and I told him that I would never cheat on him. He said, "Uh, you already have with your ED and your running." That broke my heart. Just food for thought.

I know that moving a family across continents is quite expensive. We're some that do it though, thinking it's a worthwhile investment.
Maybe your mental/physiological health is a worthwhile investment too?
(I know that being a Dane I'm too used to have Mother State providing security to qualify for this discussion, but still)
And on the issue of employers.
Yes, reading about a possibly instable past will put some off.
Just as seeing my cool purple hearing aids will put some employers off.
Some won't be.
I know which group I'd like to be employed by. - 3 March 2012 at 08:08

Here you can see a detailed look at the forecast for the next 48 hours. Note that the base for this is our Meteogram product, which shows a good average forecast for Boulder Peak (Clallam County, Washington, United States).
However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Boulder Peak:
ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), HRRR (18 hours), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), UKMO (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Boulder Peak.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Boulder Peak (Clallam County, Washington, United States). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Boulder Peak soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Boulder Peak will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Boulder Peak at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.
Forecast for the next few days - The weather forecast for Boulder Peak is available in several different versions, all clearly and simply displayed here on the Weather Boulder Peak page. For the short term, we have data based on a single weather model that is known to deliver the best forecast for Boulder Peak. For the longer term, we have forecasts for the next two weeks based on an analysis of many different possible forecast outcomes that will give you a sense of not just what's most likely, but how the forecast could change in future updates as we get closer to any given date. If the range of possible outcomes is narrow, you can have high confidence in the forecast. If the range is wide, you know there's more uncertainty, and to not give too much credence to any one possible forecast outcome. We also have other products such as Meteograms and Forecast XL elsewhere on our site to give you additional options for figuring out the forecast for Boulder Peak.
