Evening with Frank Shorter

Boulder CO.

Last night I went to boulder with Felix and Raquel to listen to a presentation by multiple Olympic medalist Frank Shorter.

The venue was at Chautauqua park. And while I've ran the Mesa trail starting from there I had never known of all of the other neat and historical landmarks across the parking lot! A nice surprise to say the least.

And while most of us in the room knew about his running accomplishments what we didn't kow, well those of us that didn't know Frank personally is his reason for moving to Boulder 40 yrs ago (because they had an indoor track) how he started Bolder Boulder (originally a fun run to get kids into running) to creating passes for family and friends at the Olympics way back when, and how he has through the years brought runners, triathletes, cyclist to Boulder to train.
All in all, a great evening followed up by a nice dinner at the Cheesecake Factory!
