The Green Girl's Visit To The Mile High City

The Green Girl and Jill from Run With Jill at Pinkberry Downtown Denver

The Green Girl visited The Mile High City, Denver, this week for work.

Jill from Run With Jill generously offered to pick me up from the airport.

It was so much to hang out with Jill. We had Mexican food for lunch, walked along 16th Street Mall, and then we stopped for a treat at Pinkberry.

Later in the evening, a fellow Angelman Syndrome family, Cindy and PJ, came by my hotel so we could meet.

Cindy and I chatted as we strolled up and down 16th Street. PJ enjoyed the sights and sounds of the street performers before they headed home.

When I asked Jill for running recommendations at lunch, she'd suggested Cherry Creek Trail.

Cherry Creek Trail is a 40-mile route that begins in downtown Denver and connects the cities of Parker, Centennial and Franktown.

More than one person made a comment about the altitude but, thankfully, I didn't experience any unusual shortness of breath or dizziness on my runs.

I really enjoyed running around Downtown Denver but the Cherry Creek Trail was definitely the highlight.

I liked how the cyclists are separated from the pedestrian path. I was much more relaxed knowing I didn't have to worry about getting hit by a bike.

I wished I could go for a longer run to explore more of the trail but my time was limited by early morning work sessions.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself in The Mile High City and look forward to visiting it again in the future.
