Memorial Day
Memorial Day in Boulder always involves the Bolder Boulder - a 10K race that this attracted over 50,000 runners and walkers. This year, Janet ran it 2x, Jim ran it, and Aunt Marty, mom, and Dennis walked the course. Miles and Eliot and I biked down to see the walkers. We missed Jim by 3 minutes, but saw our neighbors Nicola and Mason running by.
A big ceremony follows the citizens race in Folsom Stadium. Parachuters land in the stadium with the flags of each of the armed forces and culminating with the American flag being flown into the stadium by a skydiver. Miles and I biked to the top of 19th and watched the parachuters and the jet flyover. One of the racers gave Miles his US flag. Pretty cool stuff. After the ceremony, the professional women and men run the 10K. That is amazing to watch - this year on TV for us. The Wheelers and Haylseys came over after the race for a low-key barbeque.
