AM: 4.25 easy miles on the POS hotel treadmill - early while everyone else was still sleeping. Now down to the spiffy Hampton Inn breakfast!

PM: 13.75 on the Mineral Belt Trail in Leadville, Co.

This definitely ranks as one of my five most unique and enjoyable runs ever. The Mineral Belt Trail is a twelve mile trail that circumnavigates the town of Leadville and all the closed down silver mines. www.mineralbelttrail.com.

The awesome awesomeness of this place can not be over stated. More tomorrow after I do some running on the Leadville 100 course.

Very cool run. How'd the lungs feel at 10,000 feet?
