6/24 Run - Outside in Lakewood/Golden

Got outside at around 6:20. 73, cloudyish, with an evening storm passing over and keeping the direct sun down.

Felt my shins a little after the run, and I'm sure it was the ups and downs. Nothing lasting though.

They really need to import some oxygen up here

It was a really enjoyable run, even with all the walking I had to do.

Left glute was giving me some trouble the first mile or so and then it just shut up and complained no more.

I got some decent iPhone pictures from the high points of the run that I'll upload when I get home.

Really wanted to run to the top of the peak nearest the hotel, which according to the map is Hayden Green Mountain Park. I didn't see any obvious way in, but a little research after I got back found an entrace right by the hotel.

Saw lots of robins. Seemed a little odd, since I don't think I've seen anything else. Especially not the ravens/crows I'd expect from home.
