Go Rockies!!

Matt Holliday was back in town with the Cardinals but we saw a Rockies WIN! Dave and I went to the game last night and saw a thrilling game against the St Louis Cardinals. The Rockies won in the bottom of the ninth inning and it felt like Rocktober is just around the corner! The game also had fireworks after the game. Dave and I got onto the field and we able to lay in left field to watch the beautiful firework display. I had never been on the field so it was wonderful to see the stadium from where the players see it!!! Here are a few pictures:



Soooooo excited to be on the field after a Rockies WIN!


Yes, we are laying in left field!


Fireworks!

26.2 Miles, Booyah!!

I RAN THE BOULDER BACK ROADS MARATHON TODAY!!!!!!!!! WAHOOO, 26.2 GRUELING MILES! I have been training for 18 weeks for this day to come and wow, was I nervous. I had nerves all morning before the start at 8am. The run was HOT and very HILLY!! I am not used to running in the heat, so I was feeling pretty awful by 14ish miles. It wasn't my muscles so much as that I felt like I was overheating. But non the less I FINISHED my marathon. Dave ran with me for the last 7 miles or so and was a great encouragement to keep me going. I do not think I could have finished without him. It took just under 6 hours to complete. Not the best time but I did my best under the circumstances!! Now I think I am going to retire from my marathoning days. I plan on never doing another, but at least I was able to meet a life time goal of running the 26.2 miles that it takes to get through a marathon!!


Really Nervous for the Start :)



Mile 8: Still feeling okay.



Feeling pretty bad with only 200 yards to go. With may Afgani-Motivational Coach.
