This past weekend I went to Colorado Springs for a certification class for triathlon coaching. This required me to drive through a blizzard in order to get there. Thursday and Friday the roads were pretty icy, but by Friday afternoon it had started to melt. Yesterday was in the 60’s, although now that I’m back in Leadville, the high today was around 9.
The class was pretty good, although at times it was definitely information overload. There wasn’t too much I hadn’t learned before, but some of it I haven’t thought about in a long time. The coolest part of the class was that it was at the Olympic training center.






While I was in Colorado Springs, I also was able to visit the Garden of the Gods:

I will be putting more photos up on my photo album within the next few days.

Happy Birthday Matt. I think you told me you got your card.
What a great trip to Colorado Springs. It is a beautiful city. Your grandmother and I spent some time there and enjoyed every minute, We have been in College Station for a week. I will be driving back to the ranch tomorrow. Nathaniel and his family are coming to visisit next week. I’m looking forward to that.
Love granddad, “Psalm 91 “
Hi Matti,
Hope you have a Wonderful Birthday…Just don’t exert yourself too much..Have to be careful as you “Age” and you really should be taking some Glucosamine and Chondroitin as it helps with oiling the Ole Joints…Naproxen is also a standby in your growing medicine chest of meds for the “Ageing”…aka senile and inferm. If you need any additional tip just let this “guru” clue you in…Takes all I can do to keep this body in such fantastic condition and your Granddad is a true testament to my talents in that regard. Hope I have made your day and you can ease your ageing mind knowing that these tips are only an email or phone call away. Love Ya Lots (Have always liked old Men.)………Double Trouble p.s. email address for tips on ageing is ppauley@granderiver.net.
