It's an adjustment for sure. You wouldn't think that only another 2700 feet in elevation would make a difference but it does! It's hard! Today I ran for about 40 min. Now I'm not making excuses but it was probably one of the hardest runs I've had lately. Not only is there the altitude, but the fact that my nose runs like a faucet in the cold weather, there are some good hills out there, and I had no idea I was running with the breeze when I started out. So I had to run against it on the way back. Its no wonder that Denver is one of the healthiest cities in the US.
Denver is so for me...I never want to leave. Everything I like is right here...running trails, biking, skiing, cross country skiing, hiking! Seriously, how did I live in FL for 9 years of my life!!! So sad that I have to drive back to Cali on Monday.

Michele's Denver Visit
I LOVE Denver! Can't wait to live here!
We went skiing this past weekend...the temps were in the teens though...awfully cold, but still really fun.
I actually skied moguls on my second day out. I got much better as the day progressed too.
I got cross country skis now too. But I have to wait for the boots to come in.
Dave has to work the next 3 days, so I'm on my own. Thinking I'll venture out for a run today.
I am really not going to want to drive back to Cali after the week is over.
It is so nice to have so many places to choose from to go skiing.
We skied at Beaver Creek on Saturday...no lines and they give out free hot chocolate at around 9am. Service right as you get off the lift! How awesome is that!
Next year we are going to own season passes for sure.
The drive out here was so scenic...Utah was beautiful. I'm hoping that when I do move out I can take a couple of days and stop at some of the national parks.

No News
I'm still trying to remain patient and hopefully waiting for something to happen. I am SO ready to be living in Denver!
But the rest of this month will go by ridiculously fast. I work next week, have training the week after, then I drive to Denver and will be there for over a week!
I am so hoping I can be out in Denver sooner than I was anticipating. Every time I go out there it is so much harder to come back to our house in Cali. I have loved every minute of Cali but I am so ready to move on to our new life in CO!
If you haven't already, check out the blog. I've been posting family sessions. I have more coming too!
