I’m so excited to introduce a new addition to the “Friends + Bedeni” Universe! Hope you enjoy this cover with my good buddy Eps. We’re trying to decide what to do next. Do you have any suggestions?
In Over My Head
Life. So full. So complicated. So packed with twists and turns and hard to describe. There’s a song by Bethel called “In Over My Head.” It’s one of those songs that resonate deeply with me. It was almost a year ago that it came playing through my headphones and I first thought, “Yes! That’s it!”… Continue reading In Over My Head
Christmas Reflections
Christmas is by far my favorite holiday. There are countless amazing memories associated with it. I can remember my desire for it to come as a child was only measured by my simultaneous wish for the season to go on forever. This is my first year not celebrating Christmas with my immediate family on Christmas… Continue reading Christmas Reflections
Race Report | Nashville Ultra 60K
Oh man. I ran 37 miles. Where does one even start? Let’s go with mile 8. I hit the turnaround for the first part of the race with glee. It had been a great morning. I had consistently been running under 12-minute miles, my goal pace. I sped off from the checkpoint even faster. I… Continue reading Race Report | Nashville Ultra 60K
Race Report | Eker Kosu 2015
Guess what? I ran in another race! A couple weekends ago my training schedule called for me to run a half-marathon. Though I couldn’t find a race of that distance in my area I did find a 15K pretty close and decided, “Really, what difference could four miles make?” This was the Eker Kosu 15K,… Continue reading Race Report | Eker Kosu 2015

Because of a change of some other circumstances, I will not be able to make that race. In order to fulfill my goal for this year of running a marathon, I… Continue reading Race Announcement | NashVegas 2015
What Goes Up Must Come Down | Running On Istanbul’s Büyük Ada
Long runs are becoming a more and more important element of my training plan. They also remain incredibly difficult to squeeze into my busy schedule, not to mention how complicated it is to try and plan runs over a dozen miles in a crowded metropolis. So this weekend I decided to head to the Büyük… Continue reading What Goes Up Must Come Down | Running On Istanbul’s Büyük Ada
The Running
Oh… running. I thought it might be time for an update on my running adventures. I’ll be posting soon about how I got into running in the first place, etc. For now let’s pick up after Iznik. I was able to run regularly for a few weeks, and then work took me away for an… Continue reading The Running
Video Premiere | Chandelier by Sia (Cover)
Faith is back! We’ve been working on shooting several different covers together this summer. I was doing some different angles of her while she sang “Chandelier” and went in for a closeup. The take was so good, the emotion so strong, I couldn’t change anything about it. Try. Just try not to be enchanted.
Dubai | Coffee Museum
As we were wandering around Bur Dubai we stumbled across a wonderful discovery: a coffee museum. Their website may still be in the proposal stage, but the museum itself is well-developed, if small. Entrance is free, and for a small fee you can sample coffees prepared in different ways from around the world. Or you… Continue reading Dubai | Coffee Museum
