I don’t know why but I have been dying to go to Beta for the past two years. Beta is basically the quintessential night club in Denver. I mean apparently LeBron James was there a few weeks ago? You might be thinking to yourself right now that Beta doesn’t really seem like my kind of … Continue reading »

frisbee / life / skateboarding / softball
New sports = new ways to hurt myself
If you told me a year ago that I would be playing softball, trying out skateboarding and playing in an ultimate frisbee league I would have said you were crazy. Yet this past weekend, I found myself doing all three of those things, admittedly with varying degrees of success. I was pretty exhausted from my … Continue reading »

A “moderate” hike
Disclaimer: If you ever want to go hiking with me and I tell you we’re going on a “moderate” hike, be concerned. I have every other Friday off of work, and since it has been so warm lately I thought that a hike at Rocky Mountain National Park would be a perfect way to spend … Continue reading »
Evening bike ride + ice cream = perfection
Do you ever have those nights where you know you should exercise but the prospect of going for a run sounds like the least fun thing ever? That was my night on Tuesday. After getting home from a full day of work and evening ESL tutoring, I was exhausted. But I also knew that I … Continue reading »
Closing time
Ski season, like all good things, comes to an end eventually. And even though I haven’t gone skiing for six weeks, I felt the need to say a proper good-bye to this year’s season Admittedly, the snow this year was abysmally bad; I still had a great season.

Summer plans: 14 14ers
How do I spend my lunch breaks? Planning the mountains that I want to climb this summer of course. 14ers are kind of a thing for us Colorado folk, and I even have a T-shirt that has a list of 14ers that can be checked off. There are approximately 54 (53 if you’re Wikipedia) 14ers … Continue reading »
All good things involve wine
If you ask me to do anything involving crafts and wine, there is no way I am going to say no. Just an FYI. When my friend Lynne asked me last week if I wanted to do a Canvas and Cocktails night with her and some other Twitter friends (I already blogged about how much … Continue reading »
Home isn’t just a place
When I do random things like intern in Honduras, move to Atlanta for four months and decide to relocate to Denver, it probably seems like I’m this super human person that is completely independent and doesn’t need anyone else. That is true to some extent. Looking back on my time in Honduras, I really can’t … Continue reading »
Paula quiet time
My days off from work are when I actually live. And I try not to waste a single second. Although lately I’ve been trying really hard to relax a little more. My friend Cayce once told me that my weekly schedule stresses him out. Well, it stresses me out too. Ever since I decided to … Continue reading »
Does this mean I get to take sick days to go hiking?
I have not felt like myself over the past month or so. In March, my marathon training decreased to an almost non-existent level, as did most of my cross training efforts. Yet even as I was exercising less, I felt exhausted and fatigued constantly. I became really worried when I set aside an entire Sunday … Continue reading »
