I went running at one of my favorite places, the trail at Cottonwood Creek Park.  Located in the Northeast area of Colorado Springs, Cottonwood Creek Park sits at the corner of Dublin and Rangewood.  This park has it all...soccer fields, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, tennis courts, in-line skating rink, disc golf course, a huge playground, acquatics center with indoor wave pool, and some of the best running paths I've seen. 

In fact, the present running path is 3.64 miles around.  The path is both concrete and gravel. The concrete section circles the soccer field and playground.  The gravel section circles the disc golf course, hugging the creek along one side.

Here, the views of the mountains and Pikes Peak are phenomenal!  The terrain is fairly flat with just a few mild hills. The park is open year round. It's the perfect spot for families and sports enthusiasts.

With places like Cottonwood Park at our fingertips, it's no wonder that MEN'S FITNESS magazine keeps calling Colorado Springs the "fittest city in the nation!"

I'm not even sure I can fit all the great details and updates in this blog. This ranch-style home has been updating, including a remodel in 1994 to remove some walls and go from that box-feeling 1970s home to a wonderful, open great room! Split by a large island, the kitchen opens up to the dining room and living room... great for entertaining. Not only that, but all flooring has been updated and the home shows very clean. Spacious main level master has 3 tall windows, 2 huge closets and attached bath; there is even potential to create a 5-piece bath and walk-in closet with all this space! All of the windows in the home and the sliding glass door have been upgraded. the garage is finished and insulated and a new garage door installed. This all adds up to amazing energy savings. The two basement bedrooms are very bright because of the way their windows face. Extensive basement family room has painted brick fireplace with gas log insert.
