Rocky Mountain National Park, September 2007
Tonight, Travis and I are heading up to the mountains for a little anniversary getaway. We are celebrating 5 years tomorrow. I know those married longer would say we’re still newlyweds but I feel like the 5-year mark is the official exit from newlywed status. 😉
Travis has a great opportunity to play in a hockey tournament this weekend so we have 3 hockey games on the schedule. I’ll have to miss the first one since I’ll be doing my long run of 18 miles. Holy crap, that feels like a long way. Back at the beginning of my marathon training, it seemed unfathomable to ever be able to run that far and now, it’s right around the corner.
Since I’ll be running at 9,000 feet, I plan on taking things easy, enjoying the beautiful scenery, and taking lots of pictures to share with you fine folks.
The rest of the weekend will be spent playing Scrabble, drinking wine, checking out cute little mountain towns, and cuddling with pooches – yes, we are bringing them. This will be the first ever that we’ve had them in a hotel room with us. It will be interesting, I’m sure.
Have a great weekend!

Congratulations on your anniversary! In additional to taking it easy on your long run, be sure to take lots of fluids. It’s awfully dry at that altitude.
Good luck!
Happy 5 years! I’m sure the pups are super happy to be included. 🙂 And ditto on hydrating a lot. I know nothing about altitude, but I gather it’s much drier than my humid home.
5 years thats great… have a blessed weekend and good luck with the run 🙂
Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple! Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. Enjoy! 🙂
Happy Anniversary!
And I’m a little late but I hope the run went good, you’ve had some very solid training! 🙂
