I’ve been a little slow to embrace the Boulder lifestyle, I will admit. I don’t know what was holding me back but for some reason I have resisted a lot of things that make Boulder what it is. After all, what makes Boulder what it is flies in the face of what I have lived [...]
After a morning of restlessness, I wound up in my car driving up into the mountains. It was a beautiful day and I hated wasting it by sitting inside. It was also cold and windy, not a day I wanted to spend hiking in the varying wind tunnels surrounding Boulder. Saturday was spent on a [...]
Before moving to Colorado I wouldn’t say I was very…domestic. I knew my way around a kitchen. Fridge for wine, sink for empty bottle, stove for storing things in. That was pretty much all NYC kitchens are good for anyway, with the occasional pot of boiling water for pasta. I also lived in a tiny [...]
So I played it off last night like I had no idea where I wanted to travel to. It’s true, I was torn…for like eight hours. Sweden. Iceland. Costa Rica. Colombia. All fantastic places that I will travel to but sometimes your heart already belongs to one location and it just takes your brain a little longer [...]
Sometimes life hands you a weekend so perfect that you almost want to pinch yourself just to make sure it was real. I was lying in my hammock today in my backyard, at the end of a four mile run that topped off a wonderful weekend, and I couldn’t stop smiling. I didn’t do anything [...]
All last week I slept horribly and had the hardest time waking up in the morning. All wanted from about Wednesday on was to sleep in on Saturday and Sunday. I couldn’t wait for it, I practically dreamed of it. Saturday morning rolls around and I wake up at 4am as if I’d been getting [...]
Ever since I was a kid, music has been an integral part of my life. My earliest memories are of Paul Simon’s Graceland and Fine Young Cannibals’ She Drives Me Crazy. I was probably ten when I got my first walkman and it was constantly glued to my ears. Not much has changed, except now I have [...]
I can kind of be a walking contradiction. I am rarely ever satisfied yet I often settle for less than I deserve. I get caught up on the smaller, more insignificant things and let the bigger things pass on by. I can be spontaneous and shake up my life drastically at the spur of the [...]
Sometimes, I want to write all of the things. And sometimes, I don’t have anything to say. Funny how that works, right? This weekend was full of pleasant little surprises. Like when I went jeans shopping on Saturday, a task I hate almost more than solving complex (or even simple, let’s be honest) math problems. [...]
If you remember, last year I signed up and trained for the Bolder Boulder, a 10k, with only two or three weeks to spare. I hadn’t run before that in years and I know I ran the risk of hurting myself by going from Couch to 10k in only two weeks. I was pretty proud [...]
