PM: 4 miles on the treadmill plus some weight lifting at the spiffy Hampton Inn Denver Tech Center gym.

Lots of thoughts today. I quit my only social media, Twitter, out of frustration with the attention seeking clown that owns it. Never been on facebook, instagram or any other social media unless you count the FRB! Anyway, I deleted the twitter app from my phone and won't be back.

I'm here in Denver for an AP teachers class at Cherry Creek HS until Thursday. Looking back to 2014 on my blog I see that I was here then then for the same purpose. Abby and Andy were here, ages 13 and 8, and we made a fun family trip out of it. Now it's just me and Ann enjoying a fun little getaway courtesy of the Canyons School District. Going to see Oppenheimer tonight at 7:30 and a 3 hour movie at that time will be a challenge for me.

The teacher sitting next to me in class today was younger than my daughter and I had complicated thoughts about my career wrapping up even though I'm definitely not retiring anyyime soom.

AM: Finished up my class in Denver yesterday afternoon and decided to spend a couple nights in Boulder. Got a nice hotel up in Boulder Canyon that I highly recommend for any outdoor enthusiasts who might be in Boulder for a while ( www.a-lodge.com)

Ran from my room, up the Boulder Creek to the Chapman Trail and to the summit of Mt. Flagstaff (Flagstaff Mountain?) and back. Uphill the first half, downhill coming home. Stunningly beautiful run. 

Want to feel slow but also among your own tribe? Come to Boulder.

Swim/hot tub after.
