Morning in the Springs

The sun coming up on the city below with Pikes Peak in the background is magnificent. If it weren't for all the phones ringing and alarms sounding I might think I was on the 7th floor in a five star resort! I think I finally found a place I like less than the oncology ward, … Continue reading Morning in the Springs →

Trail Running

It doesn't seem much like it with 50 degrees and heavy cloud cover, but this time of year always reminds me of the excitement I used to feel when the snow is gone from the mountain passes and the trails become accessible for some serious training. Something must still be stirring in my soul though … Continue reading Trail Running →
