Started off hauling my ass around the Boulder Reservoir for my Boulder Bare Bones Birthday Bash race. I only did the mile so I could go fast. Fast for me anyway. I had a great race, a wee bit faster time-wise than last month but the exact same pace of 1:48/100 yards. Distance was 1.05 miles per Garmin, can't get much closer than that. The lovely finish line ladies serenaded me with a birthday song when I exited the water but I was too dizzy and winded and embarrassed to fully appreciate it. My friend Marcie braved the Pearl St. Whole Foods in Boulder to get me this nummy cupcake and she managed to do it without ending up on the 5:00 news. It is that sort of a Whole Foods. Or maybe all Whole Foods are that way.
I was tired enough after all that but Jonny insisted on hauling my ass up a mountain. Sort of a mountain. Goshawk Ridge again, third time this summer after never having been there since the trail was created I don't know how many years ago. Turns out it's a super quiet trail close to town. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
It was hot. Ms. Deer had it made in the shade.
Wait, there's more. We had dinner at a super snooty Boulder restaurant called Arugula (says it all right there) because I had a gift certificate from my office landlord. We went at 4:45 to avoid the worst of the Boulder Scene. And also because we were tired and hungry. I have to admit that the food was really good, like really good, though I'm hardly an expert in Fine Dining. They were playing Bob Marley live on the loudspeaker, something I was not expecting at such a snooty place. Only in Boulder.
All in all a great day doing all the Boulder things.
