Another Week In Natures Playground

Well I must say that adjusting to life in Denver/Boulder is going seamlessly. Work is still trucking along and being able to contribute a ton to new projects and think outside the box has been so enjoyable.

The weather too has been very enjoyable and spoiling. Temperatures in the mid 50’s and 60’s all last week was great. Then this weekend approached and reality arrived with it. Temps hovered around the 30’s and snow in the forecast. So with that being know, my long bike ride was put on hold and the first trip to the slopes was planned with some old and new friends. We woke early and drove up to Breckenridge for a Sunday retreat to the slopes and the snow. However the snow wasn’t bad in the city after all, nor was the day as a whole. The wind was out as normal at Breckenridge and the snow was floating like a feather from the heavens. As we took a break and enjoyed our lunch the blue skies arrived and the winds calmed to a breeze. It was a great first day in the end on the slopes and a great cross-training workout. My quads felt the burn towards the end with a few tree runs, Karie and Jody’s idea…I was great with a few moguls, but NO they wanted trees. So once we hit the open grooms it was time to tuck and go! That’s when I really felt those quads burn. What a great feeling.

The week leading up to the weekend was good too. A few late nights at the office, decent runs, early morning rides on the trainer while watching some new movies from netfix.

The start of the week was great too with the company holiday party for AMG. It was held at the Sculpted House. It was in a Bond movie and Woody Allen’s the “Sleeper”. The house has also been on the Travel Channel. It’s a must see. One of the coolest houses I’ve had the chance to be in and enjoy. It’s an architectural marvel. The photos don’t do the house any justice, sorry. I must say too that I wouldn’t change a thing and feel that this company is a great “family” and the size/atmosphere makes living in Colorado that much more enjoyable.



So with that said, enjoy the images (Jen I’ll be sure to include as many photos as can at your request. Lookout Mountain will be added soon). And have a great week everyone. I’m off to bed after a nice run on the treadmill…early to rise!
