Brooke and I (along with the baby) walked the 31st Bolder Boulder 10k on Memorial Day. We lucked out because the weather was perfect!! It was cloudy and cool but didn't rain during the race (like it did the entire time last year when I ran with Clare).
There are many reasons to run/walk this race...but the main one is the craziness that is Boulder!! 
The first of 3 sets of belly dancers
55000 people walk/jog/run this race
Elvis...there is music all along the course
A view of the foothills 
another view of the large crowd
almost at the finish! 
The finish goes through the stadium where everyone hangs out when they're done.
Part of the ceremony (one from each branch of the military come in as well as one large American Flag...while the patriotic music blares) Notice the clouds moving in...
The guy who landed with the big US flag was Brooke's tandem partner from when we went skydiving for her 30th!
And as soon as the elite runners came in and they did the ceremony the skies opened up and it poured! Brooke and I were SOAKING wet by the time we made it back to the bus.

For some of us who are not 28 weeks pregnant, the thought of running or walking the Bolder Boulder overwhelms. Good for you that you managed to lurch to the finish line.
PS: did you win?
I want to do it next year with you! :) I missed going to the bolder Boulder. Last year was so much fun!
