Well since Tami hasn't jumped on posting news of our Memorial Day 10k race, I will do it! Tami and I woke up at 4:50am to make our way to Boulder for the 30th annual 10k race. More than 50,000 people run the race www.bolderboulder.com each year. This is the third year that I have run it and I decided to sign Tami up and let her find out she was running in it from the registration email she would receive - HAHAHA!! We arrived in Boulder at the start line around 6:30am. The race started at 7:00am, my wave started at 7:02am and Tami's started at 7:34am
I had an excellent run and ended with a time of 44:47 which was a personal best for me and 3 minutes better than my last 10k race. I waited at the finish line for Tami and wondered what kind of reaction I would get from her as she came across - well she had a smile on her face and gave me the thumbs up when I saw her! I was so proud of her! The farthest she had ever run was 4 miles, so for her this was a huge accomplishment and she ran the entire time. She kept telling me that she was going to have to walk, but that was not the case. She is gearin up for her next goal - a half marathon in August. I am slowly getting her into my psychotic world of running! Unfortunately we have no pics of the race, but if we get our hands on any I will post them. Live to Run, Run to Live!!
