You guys. This past Sunday was heaven on Earth. I need to walk you through what made it so darn magical. But first, the short-story version: We just kept taking the next logical step in terms of what we felt inspired to do.
The end result? This marvelous day. Prepare thyselves to dream about the weekend.
On our second day at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, we first indulged in Breakfast in Bed (courtesy of the Club Lounge), and then we embarked on a shopping adventure, followed by a gorgeous guided hike (where we saw a black bear!).
Take a look!
It’s always a tough day at work when you’re assigned to check out a fancy hotel in the mountains, but someone’s gotta do it.
This time around, Michelle and I were sent to The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch (near Vail and Beaver Creek resorts) for a one-night stay.
I’ve only ever run half marathons, 15ks, and 10ks (you can see my race log here). I’ve never run a 5k, particularly because they’re over in a flash after having dished out the registration fee, gotten up early, parked and braved the crowds, etc., so when I got the opportunity to try out The Color Run Denver, I jumped at the chance!
Here’s a recap.
…and that means this meal is perfectly timed! What better way to celebrate late summer than with a sweet & savory salad?
This recipe was inspired by The Floating Kitchen‘s Almond-Crusted Goat Cheese, Peach, & Fig Salad. We tweaked it a tad and enjoyed it immensely.
This weekend included an anniversary dinner to die for, the cutest 1-year-old’s birthday party, new running gear, delicious food, and more!
Take a look…
This morning the man was out on a training run, and since I had a good 5-mile run yesterday, I decided to go on a walk around the new neighborhood.
Five and a half miles later, I had racked up a handful of pretty photos of my route.
…add garlic!
We’ve been obsessed with our Smitten Kitchen cookbook as of late. On Tuesday night, we decided to test her Shaved Asparagus Pizza recipe. But we couldn’t help but improve upon it…
Happy Thursday, folks! My new Asics came in the mail this week, and I absolutely love them. I trained for and ran my first half marathon in Asics, and a few more, and then veered off course with Brooks and Mizunos—learning all too well that Asics are (for now) the only running shoes for me.
What will I do with my old, beat-up Asics, you ask? I’ll add a little life to them on August 27th at The Color Run Tropicolor Denver!
