You Need Me On That Wall!: 53:10

53:10

My unofficial time for the Bolder Boulder was 53:10. I was pretty happy with that. I wanted to break 55 minutes and I did that. I would have liked to break 50, but maybe next year.

It was pretty crazy. 50,000 runners entered the race this year, the biggest field ever. There were bands on nearly every street corner and people lining the sidewalks spraying us with water as we ran by. At the end we ran into the Colorado University football stadium, around the track and over the finish line, with everyone cheering. It was awesome. Here is a link to some photos of the race.

Next goal is a triathlon later this summer. Before that though, my son wants to run a 5K with me on the 4th of July. Should be a good time.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
