Location: Grand Lake, Colorado - Elevation: 8813ft
Managed to intersperse 2.0 miles of jogging amid a great deal of walking. The jogs were in intervals of 0.25, 0.75, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.25 mile. Could definitely feel the elevation in my lungs and yesterday's skiing in my legs. I covered some larger hills during the walks and tried to keep the pace quick so my quads reacted a bit. Didn't notice the cold too much and for a change I did not over dress. The last 2 miles or so had me walking into the wind and shade so my face got nipped by the 12F windchill. Didn't have traction problems on the sections I walked on snow. Glad that I got away from work and out of the cabin to put in the work. Tomorrow if I get a chance I will try to jog longer intervals.
