80. Run the Bolder Boulder

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to accomplish another goal - Run the Bolder Boulder!  The Bolder Boulder is a 10K that has happened every year for the last 25 years and winds thru the streets of Boulder, Colorado.  I wanted to do this race because I had never done it before and so many people who live here talk about it being one of their favorite races.  Not to mention, exercising is easier if you have a goal!  I was also fortunate that my friend Megan and fiance Brian also wanted to run it, so I didn't have to go it alone.

Picture of me, Brian and Megan, post-race victory! 

The race went really well, though it was a little on the warm side.  We all stayed together until about mile 5, where I had to walk for minute due to an aggravated knee.  This put my finishing time 3 minutes behind Brian and Megan's time - I finished at 1:05 and they finished at 1:02.  Not bad, especially considering I gave myself an additional 10 minutes to finish prior to starting the race.

I would definitely run the Bolder Boulder again - it was a lot of fun and the distance is just about perfect for me!
