8 miles in 14:02 pace with 2,578 ft elevation change
Haha, I love it. I will call it hike-jogging. Got a babysitter and went with Aaron to Boulder for a jaunt around Green and Flagstaff Mountains. Explored a few different trails and Aaron was still asking for more, but my hip started getting aggravated so I just hiked the final two miles down while he added on another couple. He is definitely a strong mountain climber; hard to keep up with. And its as if I'm following "Big Foot" through the woods when we run across snow. I just have to follow the barefoot prints from his VFF Treks. There was lots of icy snow pack on this trail, which added another component of challenge. The steep grade and constant rocks in the trail are the primary challengers. SUCH a glorious Saturday to be out in the Mountains with my best friend!

That's some serious elevation change! But I have to admit, the video made me a little sea sick. Good job in the snow and ice.

Toby-My legs are killing me today. Feels like I did 2 hours of stair-stepper yesterday.
Burt-Change is good
Jess-Your niece babysat for us. When I was driving her home I was telling her about our run and she said, "you totally remind me of my Aunt Jessica."
Carolyn-Sorry for making you sea sick. It was filmed on Aaron's cell phone.
April-Sounds like you had an intense day of "mountain" climbing yourself! And 16 miles afterwards! You rock.

Dang IT, I'm always doing that. Last comment was me, not Aaron.
