Four miles in good old Laramie.  I ran around the golf course this time and up the hill on the south side.  A little past the top the blacktop ends and turns into gravel.  I didn't venture out there though.  I felt fine, but I could tell there was less oxygen.

I only had time for a quick 2.5.  I did a quick loop towards 30th street and then looped around through the neighborhood.
