People News. We Run Colorado
People News. We Run Colorado: What's the mark of a true runner? Before I thought it was someone who ran no matter what the weather condition was. You know, that guy or gal you see running through NY or Philly regardless of whether it's raining, snowing, or 10 degrees below.

As reported in the NY Times: "Here at 5,430 feet, all roads lead to a finish line somewhere. They just rarely converge. As the major marathon season hit its fall peak, professional distance runners from Kenya, Japan, Romania and Tanzania, as well as the United States, were pounding the dirt roads in Boulder for a high-altitude boost. Long a popular haven for elite athletes, the area boasts 300 sunny days a year, 400 miles of trails (including Magnolia, which soars to 8,600 feet), more massage therapists than muscles and a fervent outdoor culture."
