This morning started off with heading to the Nederland area of Colorado for a hike. Four of us made the hike this morning which was at Lost Lake via Hessie Trail. Rated as moderate, Lost Lake was to be about a 4.1 mile lollipop route – out and back but…
So January is in the books, and I have now equaled my longest sequential days of running at thirty-one days. The picture above shows me before my 31st run in a row, and then after. It’s obvious I sweat quite a bit. It also shows my new shirt and shorts…
Our normal bi-weekly Hike Club hike was canceled due to a variety of reasons, but I still managed to get outside and get a hike done. I met up with one of our Club’s members (even though her last day at work was on Friday, she’s still a member –…
Halfway through January, and I’m beginning to feel a bit more tired than usual which could probably be attributed to the fact that I have now worked out every day for eighteen straight days. I finished off my last pair of “old” shoes this week, and am now running full-time…
This past Saturday was the latest hike in our hiking club’s winter season. A little before 8am, we headed out to Evergreen to hike Chief Mountain. This peak is out by Indian Springs where we’ve done a few other hikes, both the summer and winter versions. During the drive, I…

In a previous life, many years ago, I would have considered myself a hiker. I mean, I went on hikes. I owned trekking poles, and occasionally wandered the wilderness around the Pacific Northwest. I even owned a fancy hiking hat! During this original hiking phase was when I went on…
A friend of mine on LiveJournal used to post these great yearly recaps that I always wanted to do on my own, but never managed to. I had LJ, and FB, and my photos app on my phone to remind me of what I had done the year before. But…
Today I ran 3.17 miles. It’s a milestone of sorts since those three miles put me over 300 miles on this pair of shoes. 300.41 to be exact. These shoes are now retired. The first time I wore these shoes was back July 18th, 2008. In fact, the first run…
