I did the Bolder Boulder back in 1990 when I was a graduate student at UNC (Northern Colorado). Even back then I think they had 30,000 runners in the race.

[@duzer]

Thanks! I grew up running the Bolder Boulder too. My first race might have been around the same year as yours, but I was a bit older. I’m 56 now and am still enjoying the miles, especially the ones I get to share with friends and colleagues. Your enthusiasm for the community is outstanding.

You inspired me to run the BB10K this year for my first 10K in 10 years... and it was a freaking blast! It's like a 60,000-person moving block party that just happens to be running. I didn't see you along the way to let you know, but you are a huge inspiration my dude. From one Ryan to another. In the meantime I'm gonna Get Out There.

[@duzer]

Yay!!! I’m so excited that you loved it!!! Yesterday’s beautiful weather definitely helped. Hope you’re not too sore today

[@Valaran1]

Au contraire; I lifted weights at 5 am today and I'm hiking Mount Sanitas this afternoon. Never before in my life have I run a race, and been functional the next day. It feels great!
