jed's mountain run

Last weekend we drove to Ouray, Colorado, for the Imogene Pass Run. Our friend Jeff Roberts invited Jed to run with him, and we camped with Jeff and his wife Naomi and family. Ouray is called the Switzerland of America, and for good reason. It is a gorgeous town nestled in sweeping mountain cliffs on all sides. The race was 17 miles and started in Ouray at 7,700 feet, went over Imogene Pass at 13,100 feet, and then descended into Telluride, Colorado. Jed did great--his time was 2:50:18, he placed 24th overall, and he was 5th in his age division.
