Bolder Boulder '06


On Memorial Day over 46,000 runners, joggers, and walkers convened in Boulder, Colorado to for a nice leisurely 10K race. I ran the 6.2 mile race in 55 minutes and 55 seconds which was five seconds faster than my goal! That was running nine minute miles and I honestly didn’t think I would be able to run it that fast. I did regret eating an apple so late. I threw up twice on the very last hill, which marked the very first time I have ever vomited do to physical exertion. My family was there at the finish and my middle niece ran and walked it as well. It was also a terrific day for eating my Mom’s homemade potato salad.
