In Leadville? WTH? Probably not too many people running since it sits at over 10,000 ft.

You would be surprised. I had my first real job as a nurse in the little hospital up there. You get used to the altitude over time.
One warning though - take it easy on the alcohol up there. Everything hits you twice as fast and 3 times harder than it does at sea level.
