The stop in your tracks, at a loss for words kind of view...thank you 2016 you've been quite kind so far!  My CO friends seem tickled every time I"m lost for words or I can't decide which direction to look in their backyard.  My January recharge my soul trip has been a true reminder of how important it is to mix up your "off season training."   A little bit of altitude training I mean sucking wind in the CO mountains with friends is just what my soul needed to start 2016 off on the right note!  I shall dream of these views when I return to looking at the black line of the pool, the sweat puddles under my trainer and the crisp dark morning runs in OH.  Thank you CO you have started 2016 with a bang! I hope you all remember to take a break from that black line every now and then, it is good for the soul!
