Boulder has been transforming itself from a wintry town to a burg of burgeoning springiness. This has been a real treat for those of us who like variety through our days and miles.
During one late February run, we found quite the interesting character along the trail.
Ten days later, it was warm enough for Connie to don shorts -
and for all of us to be all smiles at the top of our hill repeat run.
Last weekend, Connie and I had a stellar long run under Colorado blue skies at the Rez.
'Twas the kind of day and run where you believe anything and everything is possible.
So, of course, believing anything and everything is possible, I went and signed up for a half marathon - to be run one week from today. I, not at all race-ready, have a few reasons for signing up:
1) I need a long run anyways so why not get in 13.1 supported miles.
2) It's in Fort Collins and I'm in the mood for a change of scenery.
3) It's the "Spring Equinox" half marathon and the race shirt boldly proclaims it to be the "Spring Equinox" - which happens to be my birthday (most years). Yup, it's all about the shirt ;-)
In the meantime, snowbanks are shrinking and bulbs are poking up all 'round town.
Another sure sign of spring? Our ten-week Bolder Boulder training plan starts up this week. Woof!
