I’ve been spending a fair amount of time in Colorado’s Vail Valley this summer (lucky me, right?) I’m very fortunate in that my job has allowed me to work remotely for short periods of time from my place in Avon, Colorado (just outside Vail and Beaver Creek Resort). This has allowed me more time to spend with my partner and dogs (who are all summering in…
My partner and I recently ran the BolderBOULDER 10K — a decision that probably should have taken into account training, altitude, and training. I mean, it’s a pretty good idea to commit to running 6.2 miles at an average altitude of 5,300 feet, right?

I can’t remember how I stumbled upon this video, but ever since I’ve found it, I think I’ve watched it about 100 times. I’ve done several of these on this list, and I wrote about how #4 has significantly impacted my life: In case you don’t have the two and a half minutes, I’ve listed the trips the video says should take in your twenties (although, I…

Then when you throw in travel plans, any sort of regular schedule you have is shot. I travel over 100,000 miles a year via, planes, trains, and automobiles. As a result, I’m excited to…
This blog has been a little quiet over the past few months. In fact, my last post was just shy of three months ago! Oops! But I have a good excuse, really I do. For the past three years, I’ve been working a master’s degree from Drexel University. Yep, in addition to a full-time job, traveling most weekends, and authoring this blog, I’ve also been…
I recently wrote about why you should always check your flight status, and if possible, the status of the inbound flight/aircraft. Last month, I was scheduled to fly on United Airlines from Vail/Eagle, Colorado to Austin, Texas. The morning of my flight, I checked my flight status to see that my flight was on time.
