Bolder Boulder #1 — 1:43:21.78

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I’ve been living in Boulder since early 1999 and every year since, as Memorial Day approaches, I’ve thought that doing the Bolder Boulder 10K Race would be a cool Bouldery thing to do.

This year, my mom was visiting and in planning our time together, we decided to enter the 30th Bolder Boulder and join the “2 Hour” walking waves. We finished and my time was 1:43:21.78 (averaging a 16:39 mile) — my mom’s was around the same.

We’re planning on entering next year’s race and improving our time.

And speaking of burning…

My legs are burning less now than before I began this morning’s hike. That makes my new 2007 consecutive hike record two days in a row.

My next planned walk is in either in Menlo Park, at the foot of Marsh on the east side of 101, where they built paths around the old landfill — probably on Tuesday or Wednesday.
