Altitude

We've spent the last few days vacationing in Sunriver Or. celebrating my parents 40th wedding anniversary. I had planned on doing some running while I was away, but there was too much snow on the ground to make the pathways safe. Fortunately, there is a new workout facility here and they happened to have a lap pool so Friday Wes and I headed over there to do a quick swim workout. The pool was very nice and new so I was excited to give it a try. Also, it was relatively empty so there would be no crowding or lane issues. I didn't have my swim cap with me, but we did have our goggles so although I wasn't completely prepared for a regular swim it worked out all right. The water tasted a bit weird, but the strangest thing was dealing with the altitude difference. It was much harder to get a good breath of air. I felt like I was gulping for it and it took a good 500 yards for me to get used to it and not feel like I was struggling so much.

And, Thursday morning before I left, Mindy and I had a great run. We did a route that I have done numerous times before and although challenging (hilly) we both felt great. Yay for a good run! I love those days.
