I had grandiose visions of how this hike might turn out…lots of ooooohhhhhhhssss and aaaahhhhsss. And while when I planned out it made perfect sense, in the end, the weather sometimes just doesn’t cooperate. We had a crazy good time in Breckenridge and it was hard to crawl out of bed to make our wayContinue reading “Mt. Flora Trail (Repeater) 9/29/13”

Lower Mohawk Lake (Repeater), Hiked 9/28/13
When we got back to our condo after hiking Hanging Lake, the weather actually got worse but that didn’t stop us from hitting the hot tub…..in blizzard type weather. It was awesome! When I talked to the front desk they said that there would likely be 3-5 inches of snow in the morning butContinue reading “Lower Mohawk Lake (Repeater), Hiked 9/28/13”

Spruce Mountain Trail, Larkspur CO (Repeater) 9/26/13
A couple of weeks ago I had the best visitor in town….my sister! While we were planning her visit, she let me know she wanted to see more of Colorado and to see it the way I have been seeing it, by hiking. We only had 5 days to visit and hike, so likeContinue reading “Spruce Mountain Trail, Larkspur CO (Repeater) 9/26/13”
Some times it is just hard to keep it together……
Hiking is awesome and makes everything ok for me, but sometimes even hiking can’t make reality better. It has been a REALLY bad couple of weeks for me in areas I will never talk about here, but needless to say I made it out hiking every weekend and I haven’t gained any weight (I haven’tContinue reading “Some times it is just hard to keep it together……”
White Ranch Park – Rawhide Trail, *Repeater* Hiked 9/2/13
When I have a long weekend ahead all I can think about is how I get to hike 2 times in the course of the weekend. A hike we haven’t visited forever was the Rawhide Trail ( Click the link for hike details) at White Ranch Park. It is now an easy hike for us butContinue reading “White Ranch Park – Rawhide Trail, *Repeater* Hiked 9/2/13”
James Peak (2nd time’s the charm!) Via St. Mary’s Glacier, Alice CO hiked 8/31/13
James Peak has been haunting me since we had to turn around with the summit in view because of lightning. I had figured doing a 14er over a long weekend would make more sense but I struggled a little bit at 12,550Ft last weekend so I decided to put it off one more week andContinue reading “James Peak (2nd time’s the charm!)

Weigh in Day 8/30/13 – No Change
I guess after losing that weight I gained back, I can’t be too surprised by not losing anything this week. I am also not all that concerned, it was a crazy week at work and I am just glad I didn’t eat my stress which I normally would do. I kept to working out onContinue reading “Weigh in Day 8/30/13 – No Change”

Catching up – 2 posts in 1. Weigh in and my 8/17/13 hike
It has been a weird and crazy couple of weeks, as a result I have been very neglectful to my blog so I am going to catch it up with this combined post.
