Weekend Recap: Pianos and Politics

Last weekend was unfortunately not much of a weekend. I worked in my downtown office till 5pm Friday, then had to leave town Saturday night to be at work in Florida at 7am Saturday morning. But I made the most of my limited time at home! Thursday night, after I got home from Florida, one of my neighborhood friends took me out for drinks for my birthday. Her husband dropped us off at the Village Tavern before putting the kids to bed, and then we walked home afterward. I can’t believe I’ve never done that before – it was delightful! …

I’ll just go ahead and start my weekend recap on Thursday, since I had the rest of the week off after July 4th. I started my day with a trail run up Rattlesnake Gulch – my favorite trail to run as of late. It’s 3.2 miles up to the Continental Divide Overlook, along with 1282 feet of gain, but I’ve been trying to run more of it and walk less. Even though I had just gone hard in the Superior Mile the day before, I headed to the trailhead feeling pretty well-rested, and I wanted to push myself to see …

Weekend Recap: SPG Life

cooking, running, weekend / Leave a Comment

My “weekend” started a little bit early this week, as I took Friday off work to go to the beach. I decided last month that it was silly that I’ve been working in Florida for 1.5 years and have barely seen the ocean, so I am now trying to take one Friday off a month to stay in Florida and enjoy the beach! Last time I stayed at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach; this time, I stayed two doors down at the W Fort Lauderdale. Honestly, it’s a toss up which I liked better. The bed at the W Fort …

Weekend Recap: My Favorite Boulder Local Activities

running, weekend / Leave a Comment

This was another fabulous, albeit short and packed, weekend! On Thursday night, I flew to Chicago for all-day training Friday… and also to meet up with my good friend Caitlin, who moved from Boulder to Chicago last summer. Unfortunately, my flight to Chicago was several hours delayed due to weather, and the delay meant that I couldn’t get to see Caitlin Thursday night for dinner as planned 🙁 Instead, I ate #PlaneDinner (United’s shrimp and sausage paella, which always looks / smells way better than it actually tastes) and got to my hotel just in time to crash into bed …

Weekend Recap: Stretching Myself at Work and On the Trails

This was a bit of a short weekend, but a great one! Whenever I try to title my weekend recaps, I usually try to think of a theme to sum it all up, and this weekend’s was something about pushing myself to grow in a lot of different areas. This weekend was a big one for reflection on how much I’ve pushed myself (and succeeded!) in both running and my career. Both are still certainly works in progress, but I am proud of how far I’ve come. I recently got the news that I’ve received my hard-earned promotion to Director …
