3 Fourteeners down!

So since I've last posted, I've done 2 more Fourteeners: Mt. Bierstadt and Grays Peak. They were both really fun, and I keep getting better at handling the elevation. I made it up Mt. Bierstadt (3000ft up over 3.5 miles) in about 2 hours, which wasn't bad for what they call a "flatlander". Then last weekend I made it up Grays peak (3000ft up over 3.5 miles) in about 1.5 hours, and I didn't stop the whole way up. My goal was to never get passed going up, and it worked. My heart rate would get pretty high at times, but I'd just decrease my pace to a slow walk, drink some water, eat some Gu, and get back to it. So right now I've done 3/53 fourteeners, and hopefully tomorrow, I'll have 49 left. We're planning on hiking Pike's Peak tomorrow down in Colorado Springs, and then heading to the garden of the gods. If you google it, you'll see the garden is amazing.

After Gray's Peak last week, Brett and I headed to Virgilio's Pizza in Lakewood. It seriously ruled. It was just excellent Pizza made well with fresh, homemade ingredients. After that, we hung out at my apartment until the Rockies game. We headed downtown and went to Fado until the rain cleared up, and then we watched the Rockies beat the Phillies. I love it here!
