Carbondale


We drove to the top of Independence Pass on Saturday. I decided to have my
run for the day at the top, twelve thousand feet. It's like going outside
when it's twenty below and you don't have to, just for the rush. Running at
twelve thousand feet is an instant puff. It's an immediate level five on
the treadmill stress test. It's an immediate; "why did I think this was a
good idea?"
