hey guys...sounds HOT!...we just got a break in the heat after a semi-stormy tuesday fun run at mt. nebo.
how do you guys feel after having a rest to get used to the altitude? does it take longer to recover without as much oxygen?
i saw sue rothermel a few days ago and asked if she knew what you guys are doing, and she did.
take care

Great Pictures!! I bet that pool was inviting. Hope the altitude is getting a little easier - Jen says..."GO PEKO!!" Keep on trucking guys. It's cool to see you meeting so many people along the way. Looking forward to reading more.
