I bought my plane ticket BOS to DEN this morning. It makes the race so much more real - now I REALLY need to start training. My "Summer of Dessert" celebration must come to an early end and I will be at the mercy of the treadmill (tho it is climate controlled, so I can't complain) until the kids are back in school (Aug 30th). Slightly worried about the difference in altitude... but from what I've read I don't think there's anything I can do about that. But if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! I ran 3 miles yesterday on a 2.0 incline - today will be some strength training. After being away from home (and my exercise routine) for 3 weeks, I have a lot of catching up to do and soreness to work through, but it's all good. For those of you running out in the heat - don't forget your water! Drink up! ~ Lisa
Hi Lisa!!!!! I'm looking so forward to running another race with you! It sounds like you've had a great summer! This blog will be great for us newbies to get your input and learn from your experience! Thank you for posting. Thanks for reminding me about water. I don't think I drink enough!

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet you as I have heard so much about you!!!! And I can't wait to run in this event with you. I love the Rock n' Roll series. Don't worry about the altitude you probably won't even notice the difference, especially if you have to train where there is a lot of humidity.
hey friend...don't worry about the altitude...we'll get you moving and well hydrated the moment you touch down in DEN! I remember the last time you and took a run here and you said you didn't even notice the altitude. I'm guessing that with the excitement of the race, and with running with others, your mind will be elsewhere and not on the lack of oxygen.
