I'm going to Colorado Springs on vacation next week. Where I live the elevation is about 350 ft. I know I won't be able to run the same in Colorado as I do here. Should I shorten my runs, slow down, alternate run/walk, or some combination of these? The last thing I want to do on vacation is DIE! or visit the hospital, but I do want to try to run every day. I've been painting the outside of my house for the past month in between work, kid's baseball, swim meets, etc. and I haven't gotten to run much. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle the altitude?

Some runners drag a tire. I drag a Great Pyrenees.
Try to hit up Garden of the Gods. That's one of my favorite places in CoSpgs for a run.
