Just how fast will I be able to run the 34th annual Bolder Boulder 10k after 3 months of huge base building followed by 2 months of 10k-specific training? By 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, the answer should be revealed! And by noon tomorrow, roughly 50,000 people will know how quickly they can cover 10 kilometers through run-crazy Boulder.Twenty-seven years ago, the Bolder Boulder was not yet the behemoth event that it is today with just 16,826 finishers (only 5,570 women) in 1985. I was one of those runners, pushing four-month old Devon in his first Bolder Boulder (rules were looser in those days). We covered the course in 55:49 by my watch - a time I would be quite pleased with tomorrow ...after months of hard training vs. 9 months of pregnancy followed by recovery from c-section... Ah the joys of aging!
