Notes
with al. due to a calf strain of his and a bit of reluctance to climb 10mi at altitude, we opted not to run the vail trail race up the mountain. we still stayed in vail, which was nice if excessively bourgeoise, but just did an easy half hour in the morning before breakfast. the air was definitely thinner, but it wasn't too bad going up with glorious scenery and a relaxed pace. turned around at 15 and shortly thereafter had a huge need for a poo, so did that on the mountain. came down very relaxed but obviously much quicker. amazing to run past little waterfalls and mountain streams.
