Scott I remember a few years ago being way up on the jeep trail in Colorado. We stopped when we saw a huge patch of snow. I decided to run across a large patch of snow at like 12,000-13,000 feet...hey it was the middle of the summer and this Texas boy couldn't believe his eyes...seeing, touching snow in August.

When I stopped running I literally could not breathe. My lungs at that altitude just could not take in enough air. Mentally I was thinking "am I gonna die"..."am I gonna pass out"....what will happen? After bending over for several minutes I finally caught up on my breathing.

No wonder the Denver Broncos usually have such a great home record.
