That said, I am running and run/hiking and enjoying the slower pace that I am allowing myself to take. Running does not bother me in any way. I am signed up for a race in September, but I suspect a lot of it will be hiking (not sure I could run most of it even if I were whole given the altitude...the pass is over 13000' msl

).
Back OT, the Outdoor Retailer show is this weekend so I am going to try to sneak in and see what Nathan has in store for us next spring!
