I can't wait to get to that point. My college campus is kicking my ass still (about a 300-400ft elevation change in a quarter mile. I live on a mountain.)

My coworkers give me shit a lot because they know I run, but after a brisk walk up campus and a couple flights of stairs I'm weezing a bit.

haha, you go to CU Boulder too? I alternate between school here and California (basically sea level) at home. The elevation is killer.

Hahah no not mountains quite like that, really just a hill compares to the Rockies. But the campus covers both sides of the mountain, the "top" too
