Denver, CO

One of the best parts about making running a big part of my life has been seeing new places in a different set of shoes. This past weekend, Amy and I met to visit Lani and spent a wonderful weekend in Denver, Colorado, and while the weekend was already filled with lots of outdoor adventures, I was glad to sneak in a run with a best friend/former running buddy in Philly. Lani took me on a loop through part of City Park, and I enjoyed seeing a part of the city I wouldn't have seen otherwise. Somehow, I managed to survive despite the altitude, and I was really glad we fit it in (especially since we then devoured 2 flights of pancakes + a heaping of french toast).

Overall, Denver was a good reminder of how much I love being outside and how running allows me to do that, even on busy days. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather for most of our stay, and even a spout of 30's and snow on the last day was okay....it made leaving a little easier!


Beautiful view on our hike at Eldorado


The bottom of Red Rocks Amphitheater - WOOF.
beautiful place for concert and apparently a hot spot for getting buff


We made it to the top!
