on the ridge

I haven't run since Saturday, but I have been on my feet a lot.
However, I hope to run tomorrow, depending how I feel and what time I finish. I have drawn a map and have a backpack and clothing and shoes suitable for jogging (I'm out of town).

The altitude (1000ish meters) is somewhat daunting when coupled with the ridge I have to ascend, but once I have, I will see the jagged, almost postcard-fake-beautiful Rockies in the distance. See, I must think of it as an epic run ("painful" being the more prompt but less helpful adjective in this case).
