Steve has the weekend off, so we did what any parents with self sufficient teenagers would do – we left town! Boulder is close enough to get to with a short drive and has a lot to offer outdoor athletes. We ran at Chautauqua Park which sits just below the Flatirons. The trails were covered in packed snow, but the sun was shining, the sky was blue, and it was warm enough to run without looking like the Michelin Man. For those who live in climates where “cold” is temperatures below 60 degrees – the temps today were about 40 degrees. Anything above freezing on a sunny day is warm enough for me to run in! We had a great 2 hour run/hike in the hills and finished just as the clouds rolled in. We headed to our hotel and I soaked in a hot bath, did some yoga, and took a long nap. There is nothing like a hard exercise to take my mind off the stressful things in life!
