Always take your running shoes on vacation

The scenery can inspire you to keep running and running and running. My second ever 10k today, with a few stops and walks to review a map and a few turn-arounds to avoid herds of elk.

Happy running folks! It's spring!

Ran mine along the river so flat as a pancake, but locals trail run that mountain every day.

Personally I would stop at "Always take your running shoes". That "hill" in the background is a bit of a climb though!

It looks absolutely beautiful and it would be truly wonderful to run there. Just the flat bits though. I bet the air is clear up there

Beautiful!!!! Training at altitude is amazing for your heart and lungs, by the way, and the benefits last longer than those gained in higher oxygen.

All of which technical waffle is purely to distract me from the fact that I'm green with envy. Enjoy it!
