Driving through Wyoming - Running at 7000 ft

Well i survived the drive through Wyoming.  There were 2 semi's that blew over due to high winds.  Signs posted said 45 MPH plus.  Radio said over 50 MPH.  I made it to Utah at about 4PM Mountain time.  Nicholas Kippen( who introduced me to the church) invited me to stay at his place and then we will head to Moab tomorrow.   His twins didn't recognize me at first, some because I have gained weight and also because I haven't shaved in a week.  

We went for a run at about 5:30 PM and to be honest I didn't do too well.  It was the first time I have run in this high of elevation and after 1 1/2 miles I was drained.  I couldn't finish the whole 3 miles.  The hills were especially tough.
