Journey to Leadville - Byrne - April 4, 2012

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

Another good morning at the Bettendorf High School football stadium - 66 sets of stairs - 6 sets of 10, 1 set of 6. Gordon Staley joined us again this morning - actually he was already running them by the time we arrived. We decided to start a little earlier this morning - hitting the first set around 5:20 a.m. Upon arriving, Chad Uhde, Katie Gaffney, and Aaron Maurer were doing their speed work around the track running 800's. Usually we are the only ones there at this time - it was nice to see other faces. Following our stair workout we finished with a set of 40 pushups.

Planning on a weekend run on Saturday at 4:30 a.m. from Crow Creek Park in Bettendorf. Will loop back at 6 and 7:30 for those who want to join in - should finish up around 9:00 a.m.

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