Easy going running

This morning Connie and I treated ourselves to a meandering run through the Chautauqua and Hill neighborhoods of Boulder, admiring the older homes and spring gardens along the way. A perfect way to ease into the day!

Connie was pretty sure this was a real bear.

This week was supposed to mark the start of our Bolder Boulder training - but, alas, the BB has been postponed until later in the year. We consulted with each other and concluded that we should go ahead and jump into the training schedule but, perhaps, not quite with both feet. For example, tomorrow was scheduled to be a 5k time trial to use as a baseline for subsequent training. We couldn't quite see the point of that and neither of us were in the mood for such a run, so, instead, we will begin our hill work tomorrow which, according to the schedule, would have begun next week. Although I'm not an avid racer, I sure do love to train. I'm quite looking forward to this!
