Day 10: Colorado Springs

Today was a good, hard day. It started out with a 5k with the Colorado Brewery Running Series 🏃🏼‍♀️ Brady is in charge of this state and he has been very successful (making $500,000 last year). I wanted to pick his brain. We went early and helped him set up. He was really nice and answered all our questions. I got some great ideas too.

The run was another story. I thought after being here for a week that I would be able to run a 5k. Nope. Gary and I both walked during the run. It was a really hilly run. And it was hot 🥵 And there was the elevation...I know, excuses. Carl and Linda, two of our runners came out (totally unplanned). So after the run, we got to drink beer with them. They had just finished running with Indiana Brewery Running Series, so I had them compare all three. They had great things to say about us! And they helped me see a bit more from the runner's perspective. It was a really good morning.

Then we got in the car and went to the Air Force Base up here for mountain biking. It was scary cool because we had to have our car checked and IDs scanned to get on the base. It was just neat! And the biking was actually pretty good! We didn't get lost, and we didn't have to stop every 5 minutes to make sure we were on the right trail. We both rode a good portion of it. I was really tired, but it was a good tired!

After a shower, we went to Cerberus Brewing for dinner and back to Rizuto's for ice cream. Gary got another sundae, but I got a waffle cone with coconut and pineapple. It was so good!!!

We got back just in time to catch the sunset. I hope tomorrow it goes as well as today!Read more
