A Day in the Life of a Colorado Health Buff: Morning Yoga to Evening Trail Runs

-

 Rise and shine, Colorado! Time to get your yoga mat out and your running shoes laced up because we’re about to take you through a day in the life of a true health buff in the Centennial State. If you thought yoga and trail runs were just for ‘those’ people, think again. This is the ultimate guide to owning the day, Colorado style.

The day starts early, because, obviously, the sun rises at the perfect hour for sunrise yoga. Grab your mat, head to a local park (Garden of the Gods, anyone?), and stretch it out with some vinyasas. No need to worry if your downward dog isn’t Instagram-worthy yet – it’s the effort that counts, babe. Local favorite CorePower Yoga will give you that zen vibe that’ll make you feel like you could walk on air—especially when you’re looking at those stunning mountain views.

But we’re not done yet. After feeling like an absolute goddess at sunrise, we’re heading to a well-deserved trail run. Don’t worry, this isn’t a marathon (unless you're into that no judgment). Think quick, energetic bursts to keep that endorphin high going. Try the North Cheyenne Cañon Trail for those mountains that make your heart skip a beat.

Why? Because you’re a Colorado health buff, and you’re here to flex those muscles—and your hiking boots.

The Colorado way to bounce back from life’s toughest challenges. In Colorado, weather is anything but predictable. One moment, you are basking in sunshine, and the next, you are caught in a sudden downpour or even snowstorm, regardless of the forecast. But that is the beauty of the Centennial State, it is a place that teaches us how to embrace uncertainty and come back stronger when the storms hit. Much like the weather here, life is full of challenges that can arrive without warning. However, it is how we respond to those challenges that defines the strength of our resilience. Whether you are facing a personal setback, a career obstacle, or simply the everyday struggles that life throws your way, the Colorado way of bouncing back teaches us that resilience is not just about weathering the storm—it is about knowing that you can always rise after the rain. Resilience is about adapting, finding strength in adversity, and rejecting the negativity that tries to keep you down. It is about...

Gratitude Attitude

Gratitude is like the steady pace of hiking a mountain. It grounds us and helps us focus on what truly matters. Let us take a moment to pause, appreciate, and be ‘ thankful ’ for the views we have taken in and the paths ahead of us. For me, it means I am ‘ thankful ’ for life the new life lessons learned and opportunities. Most of all, ' thankful'  for love. I learned to appreciate the love for and from my parents, my husband, his family and our closest friends.     A rockslide left boulders in my pathway. Due to a blood disorder, I had open heart surgery at 30 and a stroke at 31 because of a rare blood disorder. My husband had a stroke a week before his 43rd birthday because his testosterone injections were thickening his blood. It was a fierce wildfire. We experienced the scariest and most intense moments of our lives. I am ‘ thankful ’ for the incredible doctors, advanced medicine, family, and our decades-old friendships. They all showed up when I needed it most to c...
