Hi, friends!
Sorry to have gone MIA… again… life got pretty real / busy this spring, but here I am.
I am writing to you from the Denver Airport… I have a pretty horrible setup right now… I mean, look at it.
Chillin’ at Mesa Verde – DIA
This weekend was spent in Colorado Springs, visiting with my sister Annie. She is three days from defending her dissertation (she’s a doctoral candidate in psychology), but managed to fit some play in with her work this weekend! We bummed around Downtown CoS, went hiking, enjoyed some great food (and beer), and just generally enjoyed spending time together.
Love ya, sis!
In other news – last weekend was the Ice Age Trail 50. I was signed up to run the 50k. I was not properly trained to run the 50k. When it came down to the final 2 weeks before the race, my confidence was not there, so I decided to drop to the half marathon. It was a tough decision, but I never want to be the jerk that compromises her own safety because she’s too stubborn to listen to her body.
The half marathon was a piece of cake, I finished about ten minutes faster than last year, and even better – my friends Sheila, Alice and Stacey were also racing that day. Sheila was a fellow half marathoner, while Alice and Stacey tackled the 50k. The weather was gorgeous and cool, perfect for running. All in all, it was a great day out in the woods!
Stacey, Alice, moi, Sheila.
I didn’t race in jeans… I changed afterward, of course!
What does the future hold for Backstage Balance? I honestly don’t know. I love writing, running, and being a part of the active community, but I need to find more time for this blog thing. If you’re reading this, I thank you for stopping by and for your continued support. I hope to see you soon!
