Family in the Bolder Boulder

The Bolder Boulder was run Monday, on Memorial Day, and, for the first time since 2006, there were less than 50,000 entrants.  The BB is a 5 kilometer (6 + miles) race along the hilly streets of Boulder.  This year, there were 48,741 runners.  One hundred and twenty-five of those runners were treated by EMTs, either along the way, or at the finish line - most for heat related illness.  One man had chest pain and was taken to the hospital, where he was "resting comfortably" in the afternoon.
  I am very proud to say that my 69-year-old brother-in-law finished 3rd in his age group, defeating 77 other men of his age.  And my sister, Kathy, was 7th in the 63-year-old category, besting 22 other women.  I am amazed that Kathy ran at all in this year's race, because she took a bad fall on pavement Sunday night.  She ran with scraped hands, road rash on her knees, a bad wrist, and huge bruises on her legs.  I have to admit that I would not have participated, had it happened to me.
  So, here's my shout out, since I wasn't at my usual spot:  "Way to go, Snow! Go, go, go!"
