Congratulations to the people who did the PIKE'S PEAK ASCENT mountain trail race at Manitou Springs, Colorado, this past Saturday, August 21, and to others who did the PIKE'S PEAK MOUNTAIN MARATHON trail race (up and down) the next day on Sunday, August 22. Some of my unforgettable experiences from running an racing days are from my involvement in the Pike's Peak Mountain Ascent and marathon in prior years. I wasn't in Colorado this year for this and probably won't run it again, and I pay tribute to the people who started and finished these two grueling events, which are tests of attitude and character.  See Pike's Peak Marathon official site - click here.  - 55th running of "America's Ultimate Challenge", and it looks like weather was good and races went well.

Last weekend, my husband and I traveled to Colorado Springs to celebrate an early Valentine's Day. We stayed at the historic Cliff House, a lovely Victorian hotel nestled into the mountainside of Manitou Springs. We enjoyed an incredible dinner and got up early on Saturday to walk around town. Armed with my new camera, I took numerous photos inside and out. Inagine yourself sitting on the veranda, sipping your favorite beverage as you watch people walk by. Although I could have used a flash, I loved the natural lighting of the room. Just having fun....again, no flash The wonderful attention to detail was amazing....if you ever have a chance, be sure to stay here. The service was absolutely 5 Star, the food delicious and the rooms incredibly comfortable.   02/17/2010
