Allen and I both just recently returned home from Leadville, Colorado where we attempted unsuccessfully for the third and second time respectively a 100 mile race starting and finishing in Leadville, elevation 10,000 feet. But now we are training again in Kansas to complete our 2nd Run for Missions from Wichita to Kansas. We have planned lots of running, training, and several races in the next couple months (including an ulta-marathon of 31 miles!) to get us trained for the Run for Missions.
Allen and Adam a few minutes before the 4:00 am start at the
Leadville 100-mile trail run in Colorado, August 22nd, 2009.
