I think I can, I think I can...




Every year on Memorial Day, Boulder, Co, hosts a 10k (6.2m) run called the Bolder, Boulder. This year over 50,000 people participated, the most ever, and I was one of them. It was an amazing morning full of spectacle, high energy, sweat, love and more. Live bands anchored on many of the corners making each step to the finish a little easier. I saw two groups of belly dancers hypnotizing runners with their sways. Neighbors filled their lawns and cheered us on. Many runners and fans dressed in outrageous costumes. I saw a wolf running the streets, I'll let you guess whether it was a real one or not. One front lawn was covered with a giant hand made water slide that some runners enjoyed splashing on belly down. The end of the race must be the best, the race finishes with a hill and a jog around CU's football stadium, folsom field, with its seats crowded with supporting family & friends.
