I walked outside the hotel in the morning to clear blue
skies, 60 degree temps but actually a bit of humidity which surprised me. But a
glance to the west and my view was filled with beautiful Pikes Peak. I had
scoped out a run using google maps from my hotel to the south end of the sand creek
trail and back. Google said 2.3 miles but it turned out to be 2 miles exactly.
All downhill for the first 2 miles and all uphill on the way back.
The sand creek trail is a beautiful, quiet and a nice
multi-use path. I only saw a few people while out on my run this morning. As I
got close to the end of the trail, I came across a homeless encampment. I was
not expecting to see that. The residents waved as I ran by and soon after I had
to turn around and return as the path ended.
I was definitely not feeling it today. Humidity, altitude,
hills, all conspiring against me. But here I was exercising twice on a quick
2-day work trip. My suitcase was half full of exercise gear! That’s not
something that I have ever really done in the past.
