Keep on Running

Superheroes running the Bolder Boulder!
I ran my 11th Bolder Boulder this Monday and got Anthony to do it with me! This year was a superhero kind of year so we, along with another couple of friends, dressed up and ran that intense and hilly 10k race. It was pretty good weather this year. Just minutes before we were supposed to start we got some "big 'ol fat rain" as Forrest Gump would call it but the rain held off for the rest of the day after that. Later in the day some seriously brutal wind picked up and sadly Anthony and I had to ride our bikes home in the wind. Anthony being the pro biker that he is was far less distressed by the bike ride home as I was. I am no professional bicyclist, and was also very tired from my 10k run from earlier that day so if anyone saw an extremely discouraged wonder woman riding her bike uphill against the wind...that was me. But I surived and napped for most of the remainder of the day. All in all, it was a great memorial day weekend in Boulder, complete with the Boulder Creek Fest which always makes me happy I live here!
