The biggest difference is that as we increase altitude, our respiratory engine tends to work less efficiently. Lower oxygen pressure in the atmosphere can cause us to slightly hyperventilate, which has the effect of increasing blood pH. Unfortunately, other than spending more time up high, there's not a whole lot you can do about it - except to slow down and enjoy the beauty!Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-72730950246552922482011-07-12T05:49:30.358-06:002011-07-12T05:49:30.358-06:00Super stuff as usual.

Lots of great pictures of stuff I've wondered about.<br /><br />I think that hydration is harder to stay on top of at altitude; I would err on the side of "over" in increments to see if that helps. I tend to feel really sluggish in the morning, but that may be the microbrews ;). <br /><br />I've skied pretty much every Front Range place for several years now, and I can vouch that in spite of the facade at the base, Mary Jane in particular has a very family atmosphere. MJ, Vail and Loveland are probably my favorite areas where it's still primarily about the skiing, rather than being seen in ghetto clown clothes (did I just say that out loud online?)mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-64564092500834485482011-07-10T05:15:47.686-06:002011-07-10T05:15:47.686-06:00Dang!

Nice job on the runs..you are bouning back nicely, Kathleen!! I am very impressed, and HAPPY!<br /><br />Please tell Steve that I sometimes have that problem of altitude adjustment, too. I remember having it the first time I ran The Mt. Evans Ascent and I noticed it yesterday when we climbed about 1800' in 2.5 miles. Turned around and going back down was ok. If you get any expert advice on this, let me know!<br /><br />Hope you're out enjoying this RAINY weekend (are you getting as much crazy rain as us in Denver??)!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174883718651790845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-15338177523210389542011-07-09T20:19:02.727-06:002011-07-09T20:19:02.727-06:00Gorgeous pictures.

Seems like "chewing air", whereas in CO - we breathe it all in.Craig Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396907725845789786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3293265991702240213.post-53007735580643176752011-07-09T15:28:56.272-06:002011-07-09T15:28:56.272-06:00ahhh....a marmot.
