Moving, again & running when I can
I haven't blogged the last 2 months because I have been extremely busy moving. If you remember, two years ago around this time Phil and I were packing up our house in New Jersey to move across the country to Colorado. Once again we packed up the entire house and the cats and we moved,… Continue reading Moving, again & running when I can
The Road Less Run Turns 4
Four years ago I started writing The Road Less Run blog for no real reason. I just woke up one day and decided that this is what I was going to do. Four years later, I still write and post as much as I can, though not as much as I would like to. Sometimes… Continue reading The Road Less Run Turns 4

Hiking Colorado: Storm King Mountain
On April Fool's Day Phil and I decided to hike Storm King Mountain after I ran the Grand River Gallop. The joke was on me. My legs burned from the race and the hike was steep! I do not recommend running a 5k and then hiking up a mountain. The Storm King mountain trail is… Continue reading Hiking Colorado: Storm King Mountain
Hiking Colorado: The Colorow Trail & Mt. Medaris Trail AKA Mega Hike
A few weeks ago Phil and I decided to go for a hike, but rather than just picking one trail we picked 2 main trails and a few other small trails. All of the trails were within walking distance of each other so we walked from trail to trail and then hiked the trails. In… Continue reading Hiking Colorado: The Colorow Trail & Mt.
