And just like that my first season in the downhill park has come to a close! It’s crazy to think back to how scared I was that first week in July as we cruised down the beginner run and then to see these photos of where I’m at now... I am
My anxiety LOVES having things to worry about... but my heart prefers things to be grateful for... in service of my heart I’m giving myself a chance to refocus... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today I am grateful for _________. (Fill in the blank)
If you’ve been following my stories this week then you know I participated in the #blacktothetrails5k hosted by @HBCUsoutside. HBCUs Outside is a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to diversifying the outdoors and this virtual 5k walk/run/adaptive trav
If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I love to push myself. I love to set out on big adventures that I know will challenge me and test my limits. I’ve also learned over the years that if I am going to push myself like tha
I still giggle at the fact that I was scared to move back home to Colorado because I didn’t think there’d be any rock climbing 😂 glad I didn’t let it stop me haha! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But really, this year has given me a whole new level of a
I’m sure most of us can agree that this year did not turn out at all as expected. Even though there have definitely been some ups and downs, I have been surprised by some unexpected silver linings. The biggest is how much more appreciation and
Last day of summer! I don’t know about you but I feel like summer always goes so fast... While this summer wasn’t what I expected, I still feel like I made some awesome memories. From training for the Tahoe Rim Trail to actually hiking it
The leaves are changing. The temps are dropping off. It’s starting to really feel like fall up here in the mountains! Anyone else as excited as I am? Better question- anyone else as excited as Tabor is? 😂
I don’t like to feel out of control... and since there is always so so many things I can’t control, this has manifested itself in multiple self destructive patterns over the years. My desire for control lead me to an eating disorder in my
Even though I was running a lot this spring, it feel like it’s been ages since I did some real cardio... turns out it’s still hard haha but really, there’s something so rewarding about the feeling you get post run... the endorphins,
I type. Then delete. Then type. Then delete. I have a lot to say and yet at the same time feel paralyzed... not able to find the right words to express how I feel... being a human is messy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes I feel like it takes me a lot of time to
So far, the only version of fetch Tabor seems to understand is the aquatic version. While she may chase after a ball when I throw it, the likelihood of her actually bringing it back is slim to none- unless of course, she has to swim for it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not good at slowing down... my default programming is full speed ahead, say yes to all the things, keep pushing even if I am tired.... over the years this programming has repeatedly lead me to burn out, health issues, and has helped my fost
While I am definitely a morning person, I like to reserve the whole “getting up before the sun” thing for special occasions… although basically any day in the mountains is a special occasion to me! #ad I’m always mad at my al
Would you hike 9 miles in the snow for a soak in this hot springs? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Permits to this area sell out months in advanced so we’ve had yesterday’s family backpacking trip on the calendar for awhile now. We were not, however, expecting
#ad I feel like I blinked and it's fall already... But really, we had an unusually hot August here in Colorado and now all of a sudden there’s a crispness to the air… It still feels like summer in the middle of the day but the mornings a
Well... it’s sept 8th and it’s snowing in Aspen today. Our family backpacking trip tomorrow should be interesting... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel like half the people I talk to are stoked on the early snow and the other half are really, really not re
