Happy days are here again...

Today has been the most awesome and beautful day! Fort Collins is such an incredible place to live--and so beautiful year round.

One of the things that I love most about our town is that it has an incredible trail system that is all interconnected. The trails run through parks, along rivers and creeks, and against the foothills. There is never a lack of places to run/walk/bike/hike! I can't wait to get out on my bike on the trails again and today was my first official "long run" of the spring/summer.

I'm getting ready for the Bolder Boulder (a 10K and the funnest race I've ever run--you hear that Marcie and girls??!) and the Run the Rockies Half Marathon. Today was the best run I've had in a very long time! I ran along the Spring Creek Trail while the kids and Spencer played at the park. GORGEOUS. Oh, and the predatory geese have, officially, invaded us again. Is hissing back an effective defense mechanism? Seriously?

So pretty...we really must get out there to visit! Are we coordinating July UT trips?

You are so great to run...I wish there was a competition in spin class...I'm good at that!

Happy running Erin! I can't wait to squeeze this baby out so I can get back into running and run off all this fun baby weight I've got. Good times! It looks like a beautiful place to live!
