Journey to Leadville - Byrne - February 4, 2012

196 days until the 2012 Leadville Trail 100 Mile Run...


Great morning! We went running for about 3 hours and covered 19-20 miles - I will finalize once I map out this route. Those who joined us are listed above - Rick Fountain, Mike Thavenet, Katie Gaffney, Chad Uhde, and Curt Johnston. This picture was taken near Interstate 80 north of Bettendorf. We did a 1 hr 40 minute loop as well as a 1 hr 16 minute loop - finishing just short of a 3 hour run. Curt and Mike joined us for the second loop. It was awesome having so many people join us.

Total                                                                                                     19.84 miles total

We had some great conversation about improving the quality of one's life by spending time with positive people - I was sure in great company this morning. There is something special about a group of people that are willing to join in a run beginning at 4:33 a.m.

Until my next post, have a great day!  DIG DEEP!
