Things we've been doing in Colorado.


We drove to the top of Pike's Peak on Saturday (14,110 feet! Snow! 34 degrees!). We saw a fox - a real one. I stepped in a huge mud puddle while wearing sandals. Haidyn, Reese & I watched Bolt from the back seat. We ate at 5 Guys - twice. Kera & I laughed so hard that we cried - twice. We celebrated her 24th birthday on Friday with pizza & Pepsi floats. Patrick, Haidyn & I did yoga. Oh, & we survived the last few days without the internet thanks to a bad modem. It was hard.

Mileage: Thursday - Kera & I went on a walk. One hour of yoga. Friday - 3 miles, treadmill. Saturday - zilch. Sunday - day of rest. I'll run tomorrow, promise.
Of note: The elevation here? 7,000 feet!! Yeah. I could barely breathe on my run.

Love Pike's Peak! My dad used to run up it when we lived in Boulder.

You and your brother look SO much alike.

There is an ice cream shop somewhere in Colorado Springs. Called Josh and Johns. It's REALLY good ice cream.
