FRESH STARTS IN HILLARY’S LAST LETTER, she talked about “growth, new beginnings, fresh starts …,” and I’m so delighted to be embarking on a fresh start to help this magazine thrive and grow. I’ve written for AvidLifesytle for a while now, and I’ve always been impressed with the high-caliber local content. And hats off to my predecessor, who did much of the planning for this issue—so the great content continues. This issue is all about our beautiful Colorado obsession with health and fitness. We talked to international fitness expert Natalie Uhling about becoming a fitness influencer and how she made a fresh start in her career to make way for being a mom of two. Creigh Kelley, Colfax Marathon race director and announcer extraordinaire, talks about how running saved his life in more ways than one over his 50+ years in the sport. To invigorate your go-to weekday meals, Gregg Avedon shares three top recipes from his cookbook for healthy, power-up meals to get you through your day and workout. Hint: There’s a one-pot dish and two delicious on-the-go meals! When you want to give your mind a workout, do it in a beautiful, serene mindfulness space right at home. We show you ways to capture a corner or a whole room for meditation, yoga, journaling … whatever activity helps you relax, Zen out and start anew.

As we roll into summer, it’s a wonderful time for fresh starts, no matter what those entail—health and fitness, home, your career—and there’s no better place to start than right where you are. As Senator John Hickenlooper once said: “Colorado has always been a good place to find what you’re made of.”
