Running at elevation

I am spending two weeks in Estes Park at a remarkable law and economics seminar hosted by George Mason. Staying at the Stanley Hotel, which inspired Stephen King while writing The Shining.

Day 1: 30 minutes easy. Wow is this air thin.
Day 2: jogged over the rise behind the hotel, finding a sparsely populated valley bordering Rocky Mountain National Park. Found the Lumpy Ridge entrance and ran a couple of miles on trail just below the Lumpy Ridge crags. I am coming back here for more!
Today: T__, a high school friend living in Boulder, is coming up to show me the Estes Park half marathon course. Should be tough.
