I can't think of a better state to live in than Colorado to transition my lifestyle to a more healthy one.

My husband and I were driving up to Black Hawk this 4th of July morning for our annual wedding anniversary gambling fest and I passed these various sections of parked cars along the way. Cars by Clear Creek, cars by valleys, cars by mountains - all parked in little lots holding about 20 cars each. I asked my husband where the owners of these cars were and he said there were trails - hiking, biking, etc. It was 8:30 in the morning... on the way to Black Hawk.

I've been thinking all day since: I want to get into good enough shape to wake up early on a paid day off from work and choose to go for a ride, hike or run rather than gambling...

This time next year I hope to be there - I hope to see you other Coloradans there, too!
