Laura recommends the Flatiron Athletic Club for chlorinated swimming and weight lifting but also likes the Boulder Reservoir for open water swimming.

At Teller Farms, on the Boulder Creek Trail, and in the winter she runs the stairs in front of the Westminster Rec Center.

Laura's a tough chick so be sure to check out her favorite spots. Be sure to wave if you see a hot blonde on a bike go flying by (uphill).
