I am in aspen for the weekend and let me tell you, runner's paradise. It is gorgeous up here and the elevation is intense. There are at least a half dozen trails that I know about, so there are even more. Started my run by the condo we are staying at. 8000ft when I started, climbed 4.5 miles or so and turned around. Just so beautiful here, I can't stand it. My lungs were working overtime and I could barely run uphill without gasping for air. 8:30 ap. I am giving myself a break for the altitude. |
