For three years now, it has become a tradition for me and the kids to run a 5k on Thanksgiving Day. We ran the Pelican Lakes Turkey Trot 5k in Windsor, CO. It was fun. Both me and my daughter got 3rd place in our age divisions and won a pie. It was cold, but the run was good and challenging.

Lots to be thankful for this day, including the ability to run. This race benefited Athletes in Tandem, an organization dedicated to helping athletes of all abilities compete in outdoor activities.

Windsor, CO: The Windsor Mill’s New Look!

Since the Mill was burned down by a yet unknown arsonist, it’s been a shell.

However, a new look has been revealed, and all of Windsor is anticipating it’s re-opening.

It’s been paired down a bit and will not be as tall, but it will still retain much of its historic look and is sure to be a huge crowd-attractor when finished.

Can’t wait till construction begins!!

Running in Colorado: Tyler3Miler…

My girls and I ran the Tyler3Miler today around Windsor Lake at Boardwalk Park.  I did well.  I finished second female overall.  The band was out in full force, playing wonderful background music to cheer us on.  The race raised money for the band and scholarships for band members.  Always fun to run for a good cause, AND it was a gorgeous day for a race!
