EXTRA! EXTRA!

Matt Harrington completed Leadville 100. This is an amazing 100 mile run out in Leadville Colorado. He battled rain, snow, stomach issues, etc. and not once, not ONCE, did stopping cross his mind. I'm still in awe of this amazing accomplishment. Way to go Matt! I saw him yesterday merely 24 hours after he finished and he was doing a jig.

My marathon training is on its way. I ran 18 on Saturday made that much easier when KB met me 1/3 of the way through and ran the middle third with me. The whole way down to the lake the anticipation of meeting up with her kept my legs moving at a good pace and then the fun of running along with her kept me going the rest of the way home. Not the easiest run I've done. Last Wednesday I turned a 7 mile run into a 10 miler just because I felt so good and was running after work when it wasn't in the triple digits. I'm going to try and be a bit more diligent about my posts.
