Met up with Steve Young in Boulder, you know.. the famous football player...he's pretty into running now apparently, and about 100 pounds skinnier I'm guessing. Anyway, we headed up to Walker ranch up flagstaff road. Ran the loop once, then biked it in the reverse direction. Such an awesome loop! Loved every second of it. It has 12-1500feet of ascent per loop (~7.5 miles), so nothing too steep, but enough climbing to make it a blast. Really enjoyed running with company, and then biking it was totally fun. Walker ranch basically starts by dropping a couple miles down into the river valley, then climbing a couple up the other side, then dropping back down in lower, then climbing out. Its really cool and beautiful, especially right now. This fall has been treating us VERY right her in CO. The weather has been phenomenal so far. It can't last...its got to start getting cold soon, but in the meantime, its been so awesome. Saw Tim and Nicole DeBoom running past I think as we were on our bike loop. I'm still itching to run some more though, I think I'll go out for a few more miles to loosen up the biking legs. ***at 12:30 4 more miles around the dog park ~30 min. Felt really good. Seriously liking the run every day thing these days. I feel like I'm going to be able to establish a really solid base this winter which will really help me improve my running on all accounts next year.
