2.01 miles in 17:33

i left wichita at 8:00 with a couple of friends i'd agreed to share a ride with to our pastors retreat in colorado. after ten and a half hours in a tiny car with just enough leg room and only a handful of stops, i was ready to move a little. i dumped my luggage in my room, dressed quickly and went out for a short run.

with the change in altitude i didn't want to push my distance or pace too much, so i just ran down the conference center drive to the highway, ran up to the second drive and circled back to the main entrance. a second lap got me close to tow miles, so i ran around teh parking lot to finish up.

everything felt pretty good considering the air at 9,000 feet is thinner than it is at 1,200.
