ran the bolder boulder 10K with my brother. not going to count it as a race report because I didn't race, I just ran with him for his 50th birthday, trying to pace him to a PR. I had an A wave bib but ran with him out of the B wave, which is the fourth wave and has a 44 minute qualifier (the A wave is a sub 38 qualifier). I was pretty annoying, egging him on and trying to push him, trying to get him to follow me on surges, bouncing around, we ended up finishing in 43:47 whcih was his second best time so we did OK. Had alot of energy left at the end so I ran about the same pace back to my bike near the start.
Foot and shin splint still aggravating me a little, now I am going to have to decide whether to quit for a couple months and heal them completely and start up fresh for the fall or try to run through this so I can do July 4 and 24. Upside of taking a couple months off is I can just go hiking and camping with the kids, which I prefer to do in the summer anyway, while I heal properly.
