Running at Altitude

I'm in Colorado this week. I love being out here...and the snowboarding is great exercise...but I still get behind in my miles for the riverbank. Today I decided that had to change. I did a normal training run, but I did it at altitude and with LOTS of hills. Our condo is somewhere around 7500 feet, so I started at 7500...went up to about 8000 and then back down to around 6500 and then back to the condo. Nothing like vertical rise to give you a solid workout. My Nike+ said I ran 2.42 miles...but it felt like at least 5.

I'll try to get a long run in this weekend...but I'll do it down near town...at around 6500 and without too many hills.
