September's flood damage has finally been repaired along the entire 3-kilometer stretch of the eastern portion of the South Boulder Creek Trail! Not only does this stretch of trail offer a peaceful respite from city life right at the city's edge, but it is also a favorite for timed speed work among the gangs of runners that populate Boulder. And who wouldn't want to do their speed work here? Soft surface, very little incline, quiet but for birds and the breeze, and a heckuva view.
And speed work along the South Boulder Creek trail is just what I did today: about 35 minutes' worth, back and forth, appreciating every step of the repaired surface. Passed only by two other runners, two walkers, and two women on horseback. An excellent outing, even though it was a solo session due to having to juggle my training schedule. The workout should have been tomorrow, preceding long-run Sunday - but tomorrow day Kendall and I will be at the Democratic County Assembly as alternate delegates, and tomorrow evening we'll be cheering on the CU Women's Basketball team in round 2 of the WNIT. Go Buffs! Yay trail runs! Hooray for Spring! I guess it's an all around day of good cheer, eh?!
