Chlorhexidine staining

Had a gum graft done about 2 months ago and noticed my teeth are abnormally stained and it’s slowly getting worse. Finally after my wife calling it out I looked it up and supposedly chlorhexidine can stain teeth if used and consumed alongside coffee. I’m a huge coffee drinker and my dentist never mentioned this. In fact, they told me to finish the bottle during my last check up.

Called them today and they told me to stop using it and use warm salt water instead.

Will I need to whiten my teeth to remove the stains? Or will regular brushing take care of it?

Section running the JMT starting next week!

Planning to run the first ~40 miles of the JMT southbound next week! Mile 41-52 will put me at June Lake where my car will be waiting. Targeting under 20 hours total.

I’ve been various sections of this trail on backpacking trips over the years and now I’m finally starting a project to run the entire trail in sections.

Looking forward to big day in some of the best mountains! 😬

I finished Cocodona 250 in 122 hours!

I managed to finish Cocodona 250 in the back of the pack this year. The sleep deprivation and terrain made the race extremely difficult, but I was able to run a decent portion of the final stretch and still felt like I had more in me.

This was culmination of a 3 year long project, starting with my first 50 miler in July of ‘23 and working my way up in distance every year. My first and only 100 was Dark Divide 100 last year in September.

I’m not sure if I’ll do Cocodona again just because of how difficult it was, but who knows! I’m considering Mammoth 200 next year, so anyone who has ran both and can compare, let me know your thoughts!
