This is the trail head at Kennebec Pass. We did this run a while back but I LOVED every minute of it. This is the most beautiful country in the summer and takes away the pain of running for hours on end
Scott getting ready to torture me on the pass.
The view from the top was GORGEOUS!!
Here I am trying to run downhill, little do most know, you actually get more soreness from this that running uphill....and yes, I had to rest for several days after this run
Here is Scott in action.

How do you feel when you get altitude sickness????? Yep, pretty sure I had it!
and
Taylor lake in the background at the tail end of the run.

We met this guy on The Colorado Trail and I think he had hiked all the way from Silverton....?
Trying to psych myself up at 5 am before leaving the hotel for the marathon start.

Ok, I am really trying to be happy here, I hit the wall about mile 21, but just kept running.

Driving back to the Denver Airport after the marathon. My rental car was actually smaller that a mini cooper...It was CRAZY!!!

At long last the finish line. This was a tough marathon, hit the wall at about mile 21 and the rest was just one foot in front of the other.
