After traveling all day to get to Alamosa, CO, I felt the urge to run in the cool night and also see how the altitude felt. I think it's around 6,000ft.above sea level and I felt good on the flat ground. I went from Rte. 160 east of Rte. 17, to Rte. 17, northward to somewhere past both Curtis Dr. and a sign for a Vetinary place, then back. Running in the dark on the shoulder was a bit odd in the unfamiliar surroundings. I couldn't see my feet nor much else with few houses or street lights near. However, I could recall the feel of the landscape from biking through here almost to the week around 1996 when I did the Ride the Rockies. A cool thing that I did see was all of Scorpio and Sagaterius popping out of the sky in front of me even when cars passed going the other way.
