Welcome to my blog

I'm a 20-something running my way through Denver.

Wedding Weekend!

I don’t have that many pictures on my own camera. Hopefully the photographer will send us her CD of pics soon, plus I can steal some of my friends’ pics on facebook.

Friday morning started with finishing up the house clean-up and yard work. Then it was off to get manicures and pedicures with my [...]

Curveball

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday! Yesterday was a very out of the ordinary day. Warning: this post is a long one.

Back up to my last post, it was nice to see that I’m not the only one who chooses sleep over exercise on occasion. And I have definitely needed it this past [...]

I am not superwoman

I had big plans for Sunday: do an open water swim, go to a blogger meet-up, go on a bike ride and do a bunch of wedding stuff. And all of this the day after driving to and from a wedding in New York.

While I was driving back my cuts were hurting me [...]

Free Time

I didn’t realize that taking a few days off from tri-training would mean much more free time on my hands. With marathon training, I ran in the morning and would be done with my workout for the day. But with tri-training I generally have two (albeit smaller) workouts each day. Last night at around 6:30, [...]

Rude People

It totally feels like a Monday today.

The day started out as a usual busy Monday, I had to remind myself that it was Tuesday and the week should fly by. My lunch break was interesting. One – I got rained on heavily on my bike ride. Usually I follow the weather report pretty closely [...]

Taking Care of Business

I used my lunch break to do some wedding party planning. I know most girls love this stuff but I guess I’m a weirdo because I don’t really get excited about colors, centerpieces, etc.

But it was fun to go back to the venue and imagine what the big night will look like. We [...]

Dress Shopping

Last night for dinner we went to a restaurant in our ‘hood called The Heights. We’ve been for brunch plenty of times, but wanted to try out the dinner menu. I couldn’t help myself from ordering a Bloody Mary, even though that’s typical brunch time fare. They have a whole menu page devoted to customized [...]

My Elopement Story

I thought I should share the story of my wedding since it’s a little unusual. Plus we got pictures back Monday so the memories are flowing

As I mentioned a few times, Neil and I eloped on January 15th, 2010. We had gotten engaged less than 3 weeks earlier.

As soon as my mom [...]

Can’t hold me down

The doctor’s appointment went as well as it possibly could. They did an x-ray and didn’t see any fracture, so it’s most likely bad shin splints. I’m still going to get a full bone scan next week to be safe (stress fractures don’t always show up on x-rays) but I got the green light to [...]
