Continental Airline Tickets

Are my layovers long enough?

This round trip will be my first time flying since I was much younger. My first one is 40 minutes in Denver and I have to get from one end to the other of the very long terminal B, United to Express jet. I understand that 40 minutes is w/o taxiing. So is this long enough to make my way to the new gate, assuming the flight is on time? On my return flight I have to get from Terminal C to B at Houston Intercontinental Airport, it's Continental to Express Jet. From their map I've gathered they have some sort of In Security transportation between terminals but this time I only have 35 minutes. Again, will this be enough time? I called Orbitz to see if this was long enough and when they called Continental they assured us that the flights were connecting flights which I assume means I'm guaranteed to make it or else they'll have to find me the next available flight. Still I was just wondering what those with personal experience say, because even the Orbitz guy said that was cutting it short. I looked at DEN on google maps and wow, it's 3/5 of a mile to get from one end to the other of Terminal B to the other. That's gotta be a 10 minute walk. Do people really run, will I be stopped if I do?

1. Have on good shoes because you'll be doing a lot of running between your flights. You may make them, but you don't have much time to spare.
2. Assuming that your arrival flight is on time, yes you will have time. It doesn't take too long to walk from terminal to terminal. Yes IAH has a train. You should also note the walking times on that map.
