Ran 6 miles today in Boulder, CO.  Super hills!  Ran with my hubby and even with the major hills and elevation our ave pace was 8:30...not to mention all the junk we ate on our drive here.   Love it here!  Beautiful city with running trails everywhere.

Hey thanks for saying HI. Random that you're at Deb's house..I guess you know her from your hubbies being in the same Dental school? You should totally talk your husband into setting up his practice in CO...it is BEAUTIFUL here! And there is such a fit/healthy population of people in the whole Denver metro area. You'd really fit in, I'm sure. I'm glad you're enjoying Boulder running! Are you training for a specific marathon soon?
