Of course they are coming to run a 1/2-marathon in Denver, though they may be on the disabled list, and I'm just spectating. Should be an interesting weekend.
Saturday run at White Ranch. Nice house:
Sunday run at Green Mountain Boulder, on radically different terrain. I am so out of shape to run this type of thing, I was dying and only made it up to Greenman and then turned around:
Then came a very hot, dry walk at lunch on South Table in Golden, CO next to NREL (no doubt a fiscal beneficiary of the mathematical extrapolations of Global Warming Central), which is undergoing a construction expansion. Hey, as long as the government is doing OK, right? I'm sure they'll take care of us.
Cactus, dry grass, thorns and other stuff that wants to stab you in the hot sun:
It may snow at the tippy-tops of the mountains tonight. Fall is coming.
Not just epicness, but alpine, in the waning season/daylight!
ReplyDeleteI've gotten cranky (but tried to hide it) when visitors or travel or something kept me out of the alpine for *one* good weekend (Jun thru Sep), because it automatically means a 2-week gap.
Hopefully, you can coax your visitors to some leaf-peeping and photography next weekend? Shouldn't be a hard sell.
Back to work!
Mike - The sis' and the gang is from Fruita, so they've seen it all. Mountains? Yeah, whatever ;) There may biking, and bands, and bar-hopping involved. A change of pace, let's say.
