Journey to Leadville - Byrne - April 29, 2012

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

Curt and Rick next to the Lexus - the prize
given to the person finishing 1st :o)
Weather was much nicer today. No lightening, no rain, a little wind but not much. Curt was able to join us for the first two loops before heading off to church.  Did a total of 19.6 miles in just shy of 3 hours. No land speed records set but legs are feeling great and we could have continued for much longer. The legs of our run are listed below:

http://www.mapmyfitness.com/routes/view/87679843 - 2.4 miles - 21 minutes

http://www.mapmyfitness.com/routes/view/87681527 - 8.2 miles - 1 hr 14 minutes

Rick and Curt each took a picture but I must not have saved it on my phone so I'm not in any pictures today - no biggie. We're playing basketball tonight - should be a hard, fun workout. Taking tomorrow off. Had more great conversation today talking about Leadville - I'm really getting pumped for this race even though it is more than 3 1/2 months away. Came across a gigantic radio tower and while I"m not very good at estimating height it appeared that Hope Pass is 5 times as high as this extremely high tower - it really put the massive incline into perpsective.

Looking ahead to this week you can plan on joining us for any of the following...

Tues 5:15 Bett HS football stadium
Wed 5:00 Jumer's Hotel - Bettendorf (Utica Ridge)
Fri 5:15 Bett HS track
Sat 4:30 Crow Creek Park - loop back at 7 and 8:30 am

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