I enjoyed Cherry Creek Lake park for some running. There were a lot of prairie dogs. Later on, in the week, I took a trip to Downtown Boulder to visit a really fun Mainstreet/shopping area.

12 June 2019 - Englewood, Denver, Boulder - Colorado, USA
My work trips this year have been rather limited so I was super excited to finally get to hit the road again. This week has me in the general area of Denver. It seemed like I got an amazing sunrise every day.

7 June 2019 - Anaheim, CA - Disneyland and California Adventure
The girlfriend had some expiring tickets from her previous career. We reached out to a few friends and made a day of enjoying the parks. No, we did not get to go to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, but we went everywhere else. We started with California Adventure because there was a special this month. The ride named "Soarin'" was reverted to a California themed flight. For many years the ride has been international-themed so this was a bit of a fun throwback. I also found this gem of a poster!
With half our group being Disney employees and another third being former employees, I had a fun opportunity to see the parks in a very unique perspective. This day meant a lot to me. I really like my new friends and love seeing my girlfriend having a good time with people that make her shine.
However, this day came at the cost. Many of these friends, being veterans of Splash Mountain, insisted that I ride in the front of said ride. My first hint that something was amiss was after the first small hill as a little bit of water splashed over the front of the ride onto my lap.

The following photo was the last time of the day that I was not completely drenched. Laugh it up, you crazy-fun people.

2 June 2019 - Rock and Roll Half Marathon - San Diego, CA
I've been told the original Rock and Roll race was started in San Diego. Last September I purchased a spot for this year's event. Not sure why I didn't look at my calendar and realize a week earlier I would be doing the Laguna Hills event. We started at Balboa Park.
It was cloudy for most of the race and I enjoyed the resulting temperature. The route passed through some neighborhoods I have never seen before. Along the course, some residents were offering shots of tequila, rum, or some other thing you probably should not have during a run.
The remainder of the course looped back to the park and eventually ended at Down Town. What a fun day!
