One year ago today, I dropped down on one knee on the summit of the sixth highest peak in the world and said, Robert James Lea, will you marry me? And he said yes! And what a year it’s been! We bought a house, I tore my ACL, we climbed Everest, I had my ACL repaired, he swam the English Channel, we got married and now he’s riding his bike across the USA! @rob.lea can’t wait to see what’s next! Love you. Happy one year engagement anniversary.

I’m back on the road with my hubby @rob.lea as he continues his ride across the USA! So far, he’s biked over 2,500 miles/4,000 km in the last 28 days as the final leg of his Ultimate World Triathlon (his self-created challenge to climb Everest, swim the English Channel and ride across USA in six months).I think we all thought this bike ride was going to be the easy part, but we totally underestimated the physical and logistical challenges! We’ve been figuring it out as we go along. I am so jealous I can’t ride the entire thing with him due to my knee (which is feeling really good), but I’m still riding with him every day and then riding back to the car to get 20-40 miles of my own in before I return to crewing duties. I’m hoping I can stay with him through the finish of his ride, which we estimate will be in less than two weeks! Keep checking his page and website for updates and cheering him on!!! And remember what he’s doing it for: to raise awareness for men’s role in advocating for gender equality. I’m so proud of him for using his goal to talk about a bigger issue. We know an athletic endeavor isn’t going to change the world, but if we can get even one person to think about the role they play in making the world a better place, we feel like we’ve won. #triforequality #climbforequality #heforsheThanks @fattire for the support. #thenbeer
You can take me out of Minnesota but you can’t take the Minnesota out of me! I’ve lived in Utah for 18 years now, but I still say I’m from Minnesota, where I lived for the first 15 years of my life. This week, as part of @rob.lea’s bike ride across America, I got to spend a day in my hometown of Rochester, MN with my brother, his wife and their kids, my niece and nephew who still live there. I grew up climbing this tree in the park, and sharing that experience with these little ones was a joyous moment. This was where I fell in love with being outdoors and in nature, and I hope to inspire these kids to feel the same way. Photo: @harasekrub @keen #keenbambassador
If nature is a mother, it is in our best interest to elevate the status of women, girls and mothers. We need to listen to women’s voices and support and follow women’s leadership. There is a growing body of work showing the link between climate deniers and misogynists. Climate skeptics see humans as separate from nature. They believe nature is there for humans to use and exploit. We must recognize the interconnectedness of people and environment and realize we are nature, not above it. Nature isn’t something to conquer and neither are women. I applaud the leadership of youth activists who have embraced this intersectionality in their climate activism. To make sure our government hears the demands from the youth activists, text CLIMATE to 71333 to tel Congress that there is no room in government for climate deniers.#climbforequality #actonclimate
