Journey to Leadville - Byrne - June 9, 2012

70 days until the Leadville Trail 100 Mile Run...

Beautiful morning for a run. Josiah joined Rick and I for the early shift. After running nearly 9 miles he was headed over to the Race for the Cure - where many of those who run with us on Saturday morning were headed. Rick and I handled the last 3 legs on our own. We even did a little running through the cross country course and a little trail running. We knocked out 29 miles this morning in under 5 hours of running - no land speed records set but it was a very good Leadville pace (maybe even too fast). We were especially grateful to the Saturday Morning Happy Joe's Running Group for the refreshing water and gatorade jugs at the corner of 53rd St and Middle Road.

The legs of our runs are listed below - distances and times as well. While not finalized, Rick and I are contemplating our 24 hour run for Saturday, June 23rd - more details to follow. We sure would love to have some company - running, conversation, etc. if you are interested.
