Well one of my years goals was to run Leadville and finish. I had some ups and downs in my training and running. As Leadville quickly approached I have to admit I had a couple doubts as to the outcome. We went to Colorado about 12 days before the race and two days after I arrived I still had trouble breathing and running. After about 7 days I started to feel "normal" and the running got easier.

Well the race kicked off at 6am on time. We had 4 runners one which included myself. It was a small but hardy group of runners. We talked and ran and had a good time. Instead of having 4 aid stations with this group I used two vehicles to stay near the runners and give aid. Special thanks to my wife and son, Michele and Bradley, who crewed for all of us and did a outstanding job. Mike Wolfe ran very well and basically moved to the front and stayed out there the whole way. The rest of us basically ran together for most of the run. We had tons of food for everyone and still have left overs. Dan Probst ran solid as well as our furthest guest Butch. We had good fun and made some new friends. Thanks to the club and all the runners who came out to run with us.
