I’m coming off of another great Denver weekend. This one was made great by having our first visitors – my mom and dad.
When my mom found out I was moving to Denver, she pretty much bought plane tickets immediately. I’m close to both of my parents, so I’m happy they were able to make [...]
I can’t imagine running without my Garmin. I’ve had it for over 2 years and it has made marathon training so much easier. I love being able to head out my door without an exact route and hit whatever mileage I need to hit.
However, since I’ve moved to Denver I’m a little less in [...]

Taking a walk with a [...]
Most of my running in Denver has been around a lake by my house (Sloan’s lake). I have a nice 3.5 mile loop that takes me through my neighborhood to the lake.
It’s nice to see the mountains, the water and the wildlife. I’m not crazy about the geese (I feel like they’re going [...]
I finally have a marathon training plan! Can you sense my excitement?? Clearly, I’m a girl that needs some direction in my life.
My coach at Runner’s Edge sent a training plan for my goal race (The Colfax Marathon) with 5 different training levels. They differ by goals and by experience, from wanting to [...]
I’m not computer illiterate by any means, but I had a lot of difficulty moving my blog to the new site. I haven’t been blogging because all of my non-work computer time has been spent figuring this out!
Anyways, it’s done and I hope you like the new site.
I’ve updated the about me [...]
