My parents would NEVER be game for this kind of stuff but I think it's terrific you can do all this outdoor stuff with your parentals. I go exploring on my own since I get bored easily and most of my friends are in relationships so they don't have time to go do random stuff with me. I can't wait to have visitors though b/c I will get plan everything and have waaaaaay too many places I want to take friends. PS-where's the dog park you all went to? Wow, this is awesome.

It will get easier, promise! I finally started noticing that I was getting faster up here, than I was at sea level, probably like 3-4 months after I moved here. You have a very SWEET year of training ahead of you. Living/training at 5280 is AWESOME .. esp. when you get the chance to race at sea level! :D Keep up the great work! It will get easier, promise!

Some days are slower than others of course. Good job on the run! I wish I was to the point of running that distance on a normal basis! I miss that from training..

I'm a "run by effort" kinda gal! one, once your lungs acclimate the the altitude (they say it can take 2 months), you’ll be running at the same paces no prob! two, don’t beat yourself up about paces. speed will come with time, effort, and confidence. third, i never ever wear a garmin (unless i’m leading friends on a 10 mile trail run thru boulder :) ) and it’s amazing. who cares how slow you’re running so long as you’re feeling good?

I wrote up this here, http://runforfun-stephanie.blogspot.com/2012/02/garmin-free-is-way-to-be-letting-go.html. I have had to come to terms with this a lot lately. But I realized how freeing some no garmin runs can be. What are you training for lady? My vote leave the garmin at home.

And I agree with you, I like to run my long runs at a pace I can talk the entire time. I try not to look at my garmin too much while I’m running.

Glad you were able to get your speedy run in and it wasn't too painful. I’m the same way in that I prefer distance running because I like to do it at a comfortable pace.
