I am finally getting back into a groove after my move to Colorado and weeks of home improvement tasks. I even when to Orangetheory this week for the first time in way too long. It was tough — way tougher than when I was going regularly — but it was so, so good to be back. Definitely planning to go more often, especially as we have these rainy and colder days of fall. Maybe I’ll even do Hell Week this year… Anyway, the purpose of this post is to recap some (but not all!) of the fun running and hiking adventures I’ve had over the past several weeks: (1) completing the Boulder Skyline Traverse (previously mentioned here); (2) summitting Mt. Bierstadt (our 2nd 14er); (3) summitting Grays and Torreys Peaks (our 3rd and 4th 14ers); and (4) joining the Boulder Trail Runners for one of their infamous Sunday “Church” runs. Also don’t forget you can stay up to date on these adventures and much more on Instagram. Let’s dig in…

About a month ago we bought a house here in Boulder, Colorado. There are a lot of things I really like about the house, including the space (4 bedrooms!) and the backyard and that it’s in Boulder. But I didn’t love all of previous owners’ design choices, so I quickly set to work towards making the place ours. We still have a long way to go, including knocking down a wall, removing popcorn ceilings (and related asbestos and/or lead!), and doing a total remodel on the master bathroom. We also haven’t begun to decorate the master bedroom. There are also some improvements we want to make so that the home is more efficient and better insulated. And we want to paint the outside. And we want to add solar panels. And… Anyway, first things first…
