Top of the Mountain

On Friday headed up to Vail and did the Top of the Mountain Tour.  We did a jeep tour to the top of Vail Mountain.  It's about 11, 200 feet.  It's lush and green this year from all of the snowpack.  There are so many great trails to hike or bike on Vail Mountain.  We did some hiking around but pretty leisurely to enjoy the view!

Be A Mountain Diva

A good friend flew in to Denver yesterday so workout was walking all over downtown.  It's such a pedestrian and cyclist town.  Sometimes you see unusual folks in town.  We'll I had a first.  We saw a guy in business suit cruising down the sidewalk on a skateboard.

This blog is titled "Be A Mountain Diva" because my story on the Mountain Divas workout in Vail aired in Good Day Colorado.  Two-time Mount Everest summitter Ellen Miller teaches the class.  I participated in early June and was hooked!  We did interval runs up Vail Mountain.  Any level can participate.  Working out in nature is fantastic.  Heading off to Vail today for a little hiking in the wildflowers this afternoon.

Enjoy this story on Mountain Divas in Vail that aired in Good Day Colorado on Fox 31 Denver.

Outdoor Fun in Breckenridge

Well here I am not even a week in to this blog and already behind on entries for two days.  That's because I'm on working vacation in Breckenridge.  So the workouts Thursday and Friday have been all about kid fun!  Thursday was somewhat of a rest day with the drive to Breckenridge then an afternoon running around the Breckenridge Fun Park with an 8 year old and almost 10 year old. From running through the maze to riding the Alpine SuperSlide it was a fun few hours.  Then Friday it was a day of fly fishing with Mountain Angler, going 1100 feet underground then riding the 55 foot ore chute slide at Country Boy Mine, then bike riding on mountain bikes through town and along the Breckenridge Bike Path.  We even raced the rain back to the Patagonia Store on Main Street.
