Good run, 7,200 ft. elevation and was still able to hit 3.8 in half hour on the treadmill. Things will most likely stay like this for a little while!

Another good run. Got a little farther today in 32min. I think i am starting to get a bit more accustomed to the elevation here. Although the last mile I am usually breathing pretty hard.

I have taken the leap of faith and registered for my first marathon. It is the Rome marathon in the end of March. A few hours drive from our house and we are deciding to make a little family vacation of it through marathontours.com. Should be fun, now I really have something to work towards!

Another good run today. I think with 4 miles I am pushing my limit running at an 8min pace in this altitude. For now I am okay with it. In a another couple of weeks I may try to speed it up a little bit. I also run on a 2% incline, I heard that is good for your joint and when your feet strike, it makes it a slight bit more challenging huh? GO USA!
