Memorial Day 2018

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

 

Midnite arrival from Buffalo, early start in the a.m.

Public Parked: S Boulder & Hwy 36 – 6:30am RTD Bus to the Start.  First time I’ve run the Bolder Boulder since 2014, event’s 40th anniversary.  Running the day after an East Coast marathon finish, not the best prep for a great finish time – but knew that in advance.  Today, hangin’ back at a jog pace & enjoying everything Boulder.  (BIG thanks to my neighbor Larry for the PUSH to register).

Bolder Boulder’s a mighty unique race; just never slowed down & enjoyed the ride.  Mid-race slip-n-slides, beer chug, flaming Doritos, BACON, an AMAZING VIEW of the Rockies – and that FINISH, a 200-meter lap in CU Stadium.  FAAAANNNNTASTIC!

Only THREE people win money.  I’ll run fast next year.  Today: ‘Snapshot’ Monday, gonna enjoy the ride – Air Force fly-over, belly dancers, dancin’ Cows & that STADIUM FINISH.  Pics of every ‘K’ – kilometers one thru 10.

Of the SEVEN times I’ve run the Bolder Boulder, TODAY the funnest 😊

National Ice Cream Day is observed each year on the 3rd Sunday in July and is a part of National Ice Cream Month.  This day is a fun celebration enjoyed with a bowl, cup or cone filled with your favorite flavor of ice cream.

 

It is believed that ice cream was first introduced into the United States by Quaker colonists who brought their ice cream recipes with them.  Their ice cream was sold at shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era.

 

 

1813 – First Lady Dolly Madison served ice cream at the Inaugural Ball.

 

1832 – African American confectioner, Augustus Jackson, created multiple ice cream recipes as well as a superior technique to manufacture ice cream.

 

1843 – Philadelphian, Nancy Johnson, received the first U.S. patent for a small-scale hand-cranked ice cream freezer.

 

1920 – Harry Burt puts the first ice cream trucks on the streets.

 

1984 – President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month and established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month of July.

 

How best to celebrate Nat’l Ice Cream Day?  Running a 5K, duhthen afterwards, enjoying a premium dish at Sweet Cow.

Wasn’t MY idea, honest.  Credit my blog buddy Sarah.  Thanks friend 🙂

Miles (& countries) apart – celebrating the ‘holiday’ together.  YUM!
