7 miles in 7:35 pace A snapshot of Boulder via my 7 mile run.... Parents and children walking to school wearing the local gear; Golite jackets and Crocs. Professors and students biking to CU with their pinch-rolled right pant leg and heavy backpacks. The big, iron sculpted CU Buffalo next to the "University of Colorado" entrance sign. Beautiful old brick campus buildings with ivy climbing the exterior. A Starbucks parking lot so jam packed that two cars were waiting for spot to open up so they could park and go in. Ten to twelve transient looking people gathering on the Boulder Creek path for their morning pow wow. A woman sitting on a large rock at the creek's edge meditating in perfect form. Teenage boys smoking pot on the creek path. Boulder High School. A man riding his bike with a large piercing and chain connecting from his lower lip to his left ear. Potts field (the CU track). A college-aged serious looking runner girl decked out in Nike gear. Maybe someone on CU's team? A dormitory bike rack with over 300 bikes jammed in. A man riding his bike with toddler in tow. And last, but certainly not least, The Flatirons!
