February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 3 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go.

Colorado Trail Running and Wellness Retreat for Women

Are you a mom on the run–literally?

Then we have an event for you.

Elinor Fish, the managing editor of Colorado-based Trail Runner magazine, became a mom one year ago and has been learning how to juggle parenthood, a career, and still be a runner.

That is why she is organizing the Trail Running and Wellness Retreat July 30 – August 1, 2010. This inspiring weekend will consist of trails, mud and fun designed just for gals. It gives women the tools and knowledge to run trails safely and with confidence. The all-inclusive retreat also includes yoga classes designed especially for runners, theory sessions about training, sports nutrition, gear and injury prevention, plus free time for hiking, fishing and swimming in the solar-heated pool or hot tub.

The retreat will be held at Vagabond Ranch, located 10 miles north of Granby at an elevation of 9000 feet in the Colorado Rockies. Singletrack trails depart right from the historic lodge and follow streams through meadows and past alpine lakes. The cost is $675 (shared room), or $725 (private room).

Registration includes:
• Two nights’ accommodation at Vagabond Ranch
• Nourishing, wholesome meals from Friday dinner through Sunday lunch
• Rejuvenating and lengthening yoga classes designed specifically for runners
• Trail runs with experienced and knowledgeable trail runners
• Individual assessment of running form, tips for trail-running technique
• Classes on training, sports nutrition, goal setting, trail-running gear and injury prevention
• Goodie bag
• Complimentary issue of Trail Runner magazine

Optional services (at additional cost):
• Relaxation massage
• Transfers between Denver International Airport and Vagabond Ranch
