So we're back in Colorado and loving it. We had our first run in with the monster we call altitude this afternoon at only 12,900 ft. We wanted to hike a bit and decided to go to Mt. Evans (with no ambitions of summitting) to walk around. Soon we realized that our conversation had skidded to a halt--literally we were talking 3 times slower than normal and repeating ourselves every few minutes. Laura mentioned that she felt "drunk" and I was little better. Guapa on the other hand was bounding everywhere chasing anything that moved. We turned around quite quickly and headed for safer elevations! Hopefully we'll be at the top of a Fourteener soon!

that picture of the storm in kansas looked pretty bad im glad that i was able to help...and i do think that it is pretty funny that you guys had elevations problems when you got back....hey but that is what happens when you spend time in the mid west and then try to go back with no prep. at all. hey thats why i had prob. when i got up there when i visited you guys...oh well i want to hear from you soon i miss your voice...mostly lauras but call me anyway. hope all is well tell guapa i miss and love her...you too guys...call me later
To really test the altitude you should run as fast as you can for as far as you can - especially if you're really out of shape at sea level.
