My name is Jo. I love the color yellow. I won a gold medal at the Olympics. I am a runner. I also love gymnastics. I like Italian food. My favorite part about Italian food is the garlic bread. I like Chicken Alfredo. I have never been to Colorado. I might go to Colorado for a tournament. I plan to visit next month in May. I am not in as good shape as I was in the past. I could use some high intensity exercise. Floor routines were my strongest. I loved to tumble. I coach gymnastics now. I competed on beam and bars but the floor is my favorite.
I like hiking and rock climbing. I like Italian food. I go to company dinners at Italian restaurants. I like Chicken Alfredo. I am a mechanical engineer. I do not know much about gymnastics. I live in Colorado near Aspen. I go rock climbing not far from Denver. The highest mountain I've hiked is Crestone Peak Mountain in Colorado. I don't hike very tall mountains.I have never gotten altitude sickness.
I booked my flight to Aspen for next month! That's fantastic! Is that for the tournament? How long will you be there? It is, I'm really looking forward to it! I booked the hotel for 5 nights.  Any sites you recommend I visit during the trip? If you like hiking there's lots of great places. I like Crater Lake Trail. It's also good for running. if you don't mind some hills Actually, I love running on hilly terrain! I'm a little worried about the altitude though since I'm quite in the same shape I used to be.  Is it really that much harder running in the mountains? That's a good question. I've always lived here so I guess I'm used to it but if you aren't used to it, it can be rough. Then again, you are in good condition so as long as you pace yourself you probably will be okay.  Yeah I probably will need to take it easy.  That'll be hard for me though because I know I'm going to be so amped up from the tournament that it'll be hard to contain that extra energy. if the weather's nice you can go boating on the lake. It's relaxing but it still uses energy for rowing. Too bad it's not ski weather, do you ski? I've never gone skiing before, but it sounds really exciting! Is there a place you recommend? Snowmass is one of the big ones but it gets crowded. I haven't been up there in a while. Maybe you can come back in the winter and we can explore together That might be a better idea.  I'll be busy with the tournament during the day, and I don't know when the slopes close in the evening.  I'll see how I like the area and I can let you know about a winter trip! that sounds good. If you have some time while you're here this time maybe we can meet for coffee (or an energy smoothie!)
