Rocky Mountain High by John Denver He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he’d never been before. He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again, you might say he found a key for every door. When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away on the road and hanging by a song. But the strings already broken and he doesn’t really care, it keeps changing fast, and it don’t last for long. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky. The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below, he saw everything as far as you can see. And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun, and he lost a friend, but kept the memory. Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the streams, seeking grace in every step he takes. His sight is turned inside himself, to try and understand the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky. You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear, of a simple thing he can not comprehend. Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more, more people, more scars upon the land. And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky. I know he’d be a poor man if he never saw an eagle fly, Rocky Mountain high, the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky. Friends around the campfire and everybody’s high Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. Rocky Mountain high, Colorado. Rocky Mountain high. .

The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

September 2017 Issue No
September 2017 Issue No. 257 Running After A Rocky Mountain Pie By Amy Stephens When our family decided to chase after a Rocky Mountain high this summer -- a mountain vacation to escape the Oklahoma heat and humidity -- I immediately set out to find a Colorado race in which we could participate. Our family was ecstatic to return to Breckenridge, where we’d vacationed two years earlier and had a lovely time. For weeks afterward, our then three year-old son joyfully sang, “Rocky Mountain Pie, Colorado” -- his own version of the John Denver tune. Now, if you’ve visited Colorado in recent years, you know there are ample, perhaps less strenuous, opportunities to pursue a Rocky Mountain high. But the idea of achieving a runner’s high in a majestic setting, even if the high was partly due to oxygen deprivation, Amy & Chris Stephens sounded groovy enough to me. After my husband and I registered for the I referenced a Runners World article I’d read Breckenridge Hunky Dory Half Marathon and 10K, many months earlier, which espoused the merits of I began to doubt how well we were equipped to run heat training to foster “heat adaptation.” The article in the mountains. Breckenridge’s elevation is about discussed a study that measured athletes’ performance 9,728 feet above sea level, well above the 8,000 on a cycling session in simulated high-altitude feet threshold typically associated with increased conditions before and after ten days of training in (1) likelihood for altitude illness.
