Sugarbowls on Bear Peak

Just before I went on vacation, I was able to do an unseasonably warm hike of South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak, and I was hoping that the weather would stay nice for a few more weeks so I could get in some more hiking before winter. Unfortunately, I was thoroughly disappointed to come back to Colorado and find below zero temperatures. Quite a far cry from my sunny, warm adventures in Mexico! However, on that hike two weeks ago, I tested out some new gear that is actually specific to some winter activities. Ahnu was kind enough to send …

Class Review: Tread Fitness (Dallas, Texas)

Tread Fitness Dallas

Little late for a weekend recap, I know, but… I’m on vacation. Sorry not sorry 🙂 In order to get down to Mexico for vacation from Denver, I had to have a layover in Dallas. (Okay, maybe not “had to”, but it was significantly cheaper than taking a nonstop when I was booking relatively late in the game.) Rather than getting up super early on Saturday morning and then just spending an hour hanging out in DFW Airport, I decided to fly to Dallas on Friday and catch up with friends there. It was so weird to be back in …

The Perfect Fall Weekend

Zombie Flight Attendant And Bluecifer

Wow, this weekend could pretty much have not been more perfect. What an awesome Halloween – and two fabulous days after! As I mentioned in my Friday post, I had a lot of different costumes for Friday. The one you did not get to see before, though, was my eveningwear: as a zombie flight attendant! Unfortunately, I did my makeup in my (very bright) bathroom… and while it looked pretty green and black and sickly to me in that mirror, by the time I got out into the night, I just looked like a regular flight attendant 🙁 My fellow …

Happy Halloween!

Breakfast At Tiffanys

Halloween never used to be a big deal to me, but this year, I’ve kind of been going all-out with the celebrations. Two weeks ago, I got to do the Great Pumpkin Haul, where I dressed up as superwoman and lugged a 33 pound pumpkin around a two mile obstacle course. Last weekend, I went to a pumpkin beer festival and also carved a pumpkin pi at Big Choice Brewing. And today, I actually have three different costumes for different parts of my day! I just started checking out a new bootcamp near me, Mountain Girl Fitness. I went to …

Falling Back Into Running

goal setting, health and fitness, running / 12 Comments

While I know a ton of people go crazy for fall, I’ll be honest and say it never used to be my favorite season. I mean, I never hated it, but I also never understood why people went gaga over color changing leaves, boots and sweaters, or even pumpkin spice lattes. (I actually do love pumpkin but… why can’t I eat it anytime of year I want? I stockpile cases of Southern Tier Pumking beer for exactly that reason.) However, since moving to Colorado… I LOVE FALL. The colors are so ridiculously beautiful, especially with the snowcapped mountains way off …
