Memorial Day 2019

  • Today we REMEMBER.  Honoring those who Serve & Protect.
  • Today we CELEBRATE our democracy/our freedom.  USA – Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.

 

After last year’s FUN RUN experience, vowed I’d never miss another Bolder Boulder.  Memorial Day Monday, a Colorado tradition.  Unfortunately, no convincing my neighbor to run 2019’s 10k – HA! – but me, alarm set, run shorts ready, RTD Bus to the Start.

Ran my first Bolder Boulder 2001 (almost 20 years ago) – long before I Colorado rooted.  I knew, this place, somehow, someday.

7:13am.  With so much marathoning in my life schedule, didn’t bother uploading a qualifying wave time.  It’s a 10k, a FUN RUN – with 41,000 of my Colorado besties.  HUGE!  Super organized.  Amazed how seamless this event kicks.  Well done, Boulder 🇺🇸

Tight first mile.  Legs stiff after yesterday’s near 7 hour, 50K elevation climb in Vedauwoo.  But miles 2, 3, 4, 5 – Front Range Flatirons surrounded – the JOY was there.  sub-8:30/min pace.  Picked off ‘EA’ & ‘E’ wave runners, worked my way thru the double D’s.

Won’t have to worry ‘bout qualifying next year.  Yep, already registered: May 25, 2020.  Mark your calendar.  Better yet – come to Boulder & run America’s BIGGEST BEST 10k, the Bolder Boulder.  LOVE this place, this race!  Gotta/hafta/MUST RUN ❤️
