It was a great week!

I was busy but not ridiculous like some weeks, which is always nice, especially with all the extracurricular stuff going on in my life right now.

I filmed a Tuff Shed commercial on Tuesday with my buddy Steve. He plays my husband a lot (we have another commercial out for a law firm now) and he’s always a blast to work with. The Tuff Shed guys were great as well and the film crew was Garce Works so Garce and Hunter. All very fun people so we had a good time working outside on a beautiful Colorado morning.

On Friday morning I was up at Red Rocks bright and early shooting with an amazing sports photographer, Lucas Gilman, for Garmin. I got to ride a beautiful new bike with Jason, who used to be on the Team Garmin. Quite an experience, to say the least. Jason was a monster on those hills, just flying up them. Again, very cool guys. We shot in the studio on Sunday and I got to ride the same gorgeous bike on a trainer for 45 minutes or so while Lucas took more pictures for this awesome ad campaign they’re doing for a new product (top secret but seriously amazing). So look for me in the cycling magazines coming out soon. I think it’s going to be really cool. (pics below)

This past weekend I also did an adventure scavenger hunt around Denver, which was so much fun. It was my first one ever and we did great. We took 8th out of 149 finishing teams. There were many teams that didn’t even finish so 8th wasn’t too shabby for our first time, although I was hoping we were going to do better than that. We were two minutes away from 4th place come to find out. We made a wrong move right in the very beginning of the race that ended up costing us later on but overall it was a blast and we’re qualified for the national race in Las Vegas this fall.  I have a feeling that’s the first of many adventure races I end up doing.

This week is starting out good as well. I have a shoot for a Public Service Announcement tomorrow and then an audition as a sports host of sorts. I’m not really sure what it’s all about but I figure I’ll get more information at the actual audition. I also spoke to someone today about hosting an adventure sports show. Sounds interesting but they’re filming almost entirely on the weekends and my weekends are often up in the air with other shoots, etc. I would love to shoot a couple of times with them and see where it goes, though. It sounds like a really fun concept and something I could get into. That’s the hardest part about my job. There’s so many interesting people and concepts out there that I often want to do them all. There’s just not enough hours in the day, though, so at times I have to pick and choose what I do. I love that I’m in this position to be able to pick and choose but I hate turning down cool opportunities.

Anyway, that’s about it for now. I hope all you lovelies are doing well and keeping cool.
