Thought I would post some pictures of training run I did yesterday. I am training for the Denver Marathon, October 14. Leadville is a town about 40 miles east and has a elevation of 10,600 feet. The higher elevation makes for good endurance training and it was a beautiful run. There is a 15 mile loop that circles the town. The trail goes through Aspen Groves and lots of old mines. It was a beautiful run. My friend Ann came with me and she rode her bike- what a friend! Next week I will peak at 20 miles and then I start to taper back for the marathon. This will be my 2nd full marathon. I ran my first in San Diego with my sister, I will miss not running with her, but she will be in Denver with me! Hoping that muscle memory will kick in :)These pictures are not great but thought I would give some highlights.

Stopping to grab some gooo.


The Snow is starting to fall at high elevation



Thank you Jesus

On the Way to Leadville- The leaves are really starting to turn.

Hi Jenny - What an amazing run. I wish I could have gone with you. I am currently training for the LA Marathon and it would be so much easier to be motivated with a training buddy. Oh, and for some extra motivation check out Kristin Armstrong's blog at www.runnersworld.com. Since her divorce from Lance she has found Jesus, and running; her blogs are really well written and so motivational.
you're hardcore... love it.
