Rest day. I still had to get up early so that I could take Thing 2 to seminary at 6:00, but when I got home I went back to bed until 7:30. Ah, the bliss. In imitation of Bonnie's posting from yesterday, and because I don't have a run to write about this morning, I'm going to make a list.

Things I love about running in Colorado (at least my part of Colorado):

  1. Lots of trails, both paved and dirt.
  2. Ample, well-maintaned sidewalks with working street lights.
  3. Three words: hills, hills, and hills.
  4. Lots of other runners.
  5. Early sunrise (at least compared to more western parts of the time zone).
  6. Dry weather.
  7. High altitude.

I constantly find myself envying the trails of Colorado. Enjoy!

I have always wanted to move to CO...but something keeps pulling me back to the midwest...and I"m not fond of the weather here!
