GLORIOUS DAY!

June 30th, 2011...this will be a day full of memories that I will reminesence on when I am sitting on my front porch in my rocking chair with white hair, my cane in my hand, and my boxer pup by my side...when I remember today a smile will come across my face and a sigh of satisfaction will escape my mouth...Day 2 of white water rafting was a day to remember...biggest difference on this trip was the record setting water height on the river...today was the highest it has been in over 20 years...this all added to a faster...more dangerous...and more exhilarating ride!  The lifestyle that is available here in Colorado is one that I could not only get use to but rather one that is flat out good for the soul.  What a wonderful day I had being in the presence of such a powerful force of nature.  I am blessed...

Hotel workout...with the pool...

Hiking was the plan but between our morning practice and a quick coaches meeting we ran out of time to head to the wilderness and enjoy some hiking...not to worry we quickly adjusted and utilized both the weight room and the pool at our hotel...not a bad day when you can get your workout in and catch some rays be your evening games...

White Water Rafting - ROCKS!!!

Today I was finally able to experience white water rafting...this is something that has been on my "bucket list" and it was an amazing experience!  With the winter we had the river is running very high and super fast so certain parts of the river has been “closed” off by the guides for the general public...ALSO the water is currently 35 DEGREES - hint the full body wet suits we are wearing.

What was really exciting was after we finished, our tour guide said if we came back she would take us on a more intense and challenging part of the course…I said “I’m in!” so we plan to go back and TACKLE that portion on Thursday...to be continued…

The Road Trip….

The Action...

Hello Colorado!

What a day today was...up at 2:30am...left airport and arrived in Denver by 12noon.  By the time the rental car was loaded and we checked into the hotel it was time for a late lunch and then a little snooze before the workout.  With today being a travel day we used the hotel exercise room for our work and we got after it!  Tomorrow is WHITE WATER RAFTING and I am so excited I can hardly sleep!!!  The mountains are beautiful...I could get use to this...
