Running Man is in Leadville

It's the middle of August 

And I just got out my winter coat,

Mittens and hats,

Sweatshirt and boots.

It's an odd wardrobe for this time of the year,

Unless you are heading to 

Leadville, Colorado.

Running Man has plans,

Big plans for this coming weekend.

It's time for the 

Race Across the Sky,

The Leadville 100 mile race.

Leadville sits in the Rockies at a starting

Altitude of 

The trail goes along  here

Then up over this.

You run 50 miles out

and then you turn around and 

run it all again heading back to the start.

The course is brutal,

Unforgiving, and 

Both a mental and physical challenge.

Running Man made his first attempt

Two years ago.

He ran 60 miles.

You can read about that adventure Here.

Elizabeth and I will be his crew.

Now he has more race experience and 

A 100 miles finish.

He's ready to try again.

It will be a long weekend,

Hopefully with good weather

 And swift feet.

Until Next Time-
