If I ever send you an email and ask if you want to do my favorite hike in the world, say yes because I’m taking you to Lion Lake. I mean okay, it’s a 14 mile hike, but luckily my friends Britt and Melissa know me well enough to trust my taste. To me, 14 … Continue reading »

Colorado could use some love right now
I originally had an entry ready to publish about a weekend hike. But I can’t post it. Because you want to know what’s really important in my life right now? The devastation that is occurring in my Colorado backyard. I could care less about my own silly adventures in the mountains. What I care about … Continue reading »
Double digit club
With all of my misadventures on 14ers it was high time for a successful hike up a 14er without any major hindrance. This finally happened when I hiked Mount Massive with my friend Molly, and I could not have been happier. Mount Massive is located just outside of Leadville, by Mount Elbert. It was a … Continue reading »

Mount Evans: An electrifying experience
Between missing the trail completely on La Plata Peak and my recent experience hiking Mount Evans, I am not having the best luck on 14ers lately. At a minimum, I’m certainly learning some lessons the hard way this summer! The start of my day versus the end of my day. My most recent hiking misadventure … Continue reading »

At my Denver Summer Ultimate Frisbee League game last week, I was absolutely mesmerized by the sky. When … Continue reading »
Race Report: Garden of the Gods 10 Miler
I have really been slacking on running races in 2012. I mean prior to yesterday, my most recent running race was the Chicago Marathon last October. I had originally been registered for the Colorado Marathon this past May, but due to the unforeseen Vitamin D fiasco of 2012 I dropped out of that race. Which … Continue reading »
Living the dream
Most of my blog entries have to do with my weekend adventures in the mountains. This is great and all but that’s really only like 10% of my actual day to day life. While it seems that I do nothing but frolic and play in mountains, I assure you that I have a normal job … Continue reading »
Grounded
I was grounded this past weekend. You might be asking yourself from what was I grounded? I mean I’m almost 25. Was I sneaking out past my non-existent curfew? Not exactly. You see, I wasn’t grounded for doing anything wrong per se, rather I was grounded from doing too many activities. I’m perhaps a little … Continue reading »
