Parade of Lights 2019
He did the Mash, he did the MonsterDash. the MonsterDash. It was a graveyard smash… ♫ ♬ ♭
Halloween 2019 – been a crazy snowy one this year in Colorado.
SATURDAY. First marathon-free weekend since mid-August. Kicked off with a trail run/hike in Bear Canyon. Mud/ice/snow littered but GREAT to be outside, get some altitude, soak up the thin air.
Post run? Dinner theatre with Ash & Tom. Mamma Mia! SUPER fun, campy. LOVED LOVED! Mamma Mia Mai Tai’s & an ABBA sing-a-long storyline. Chiquitita, Waterloo, Winner Takes it All… and of course, Dancing Queen. FAMILY quarterly tradition. Home before season’s THIRD blast ❄️
SUNDAY. Louisville’s Halloween-themed MonsterDash. Afternoon start/stop in Community Park. Cold-motivated to a 3rd place old-person [Masters] finish. Get out & get it done. LOL>
11-year history: rain never ever, temps in the 60’s. Well not THIS year. 27 & SNOW. Brrr…
Post run? Hunkered indoors. Fireplace. Lasagna. Couch-watched the biggest flakes with Pup ❤️
MONDAY. 4WD to work; tight 12 hours between storms. A record FOURTH October storm Tuesday/Wednesday. Foot of snow, sub-zero windchill. Yikes! More trick than treat.
Daily Camera Retweeted #Boulder has received 11.2 inches of snow during this storm so far
Halloween’rs: Grab your EPIC pass. Lifts opening before Thanksgiving this season – earliest ski start in 22 years. Keystone, A Basin, Loveland, Winter Park, Eldora. Colorado HOLIDAY TREAT 🎃⛷️
