Boulder Half Marathon pre-race festivities...

While Mommy was running and running (and thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather and the time to herself, might I add), the boys were building sand castles on the shore of the Boulder Reservoir.

I'm sure they had a blast, and I was so proud of Brent for getting everyone there early. (Of course, he's the punctual boy scout, so this was nothing big for him, but I'm still impressed and appreciative.) It sounds like they had plenty of time to build and find their way to the finish line before I arrived. I was SO happy to see all of them that I cried "happy tears" when I rounded the bend and headed for the finish line.
