Bolder Boulder

Hi everyone! Just a quick post about what I've been up to. I met Chris's parents, who came up from West Palm for a little bit to hang out with Chris's aunt and uncle and Chris and me. I had them over for dinner one point and no one got sick and I didn't burn the bread so that was a success!

Also, Chris and I ran the Bolder Boulder (2nd largest 10K in the US) and it was a blast! I actually ran the whole thing (albeit a slow jog in some places but still ran). My times are below to prove I did it. :) Mile 3 was excpetionally long because I had to go to the bathroom and it's no good running with a full bladder...so I had a quick pit stop. The last 3/4 a mile is when you run into CU's football stadium and everyone is cheering you on and it's really, really cool.

Yep - that's me out in front...

Next up: White water rafting on the Colorado River next weekend so should have some awesome pics from that trip. Hope everyone has a great week!

Oh - and Chris finished in 58 minutes and was like 12,433rd place - which means that 12K people finished in the 10 minutes between us. CRAZY!
