As was the case in 2020, here in 2021 there shall be no Spring Lake Five Mile Run this morning to serve as the unofficial start to summer here at the Shore. All signs point towards 12,000 of us or so toeing the line on Ocean Avenue on Saturday, May 28, 2022. Fingers crossed.
Since I cannot run in the Spring Lake Five this morning, I shall instead run in the Bolder Boulder - or as it is being called this year, the "Bolder on the Run 10K". I have run "live" in the Bolder Boulder just once. Eleven years ago, Rob and I did it together on Memorial Day 2010. A bygone era to be sure. My beard had not yet gone white. His had not yet made an appearance.
Bolder Boulder 10K
Folsom Field 2010
Having not run 6.2 miles since, well since I cannot remember when, although my best guess is the 2017 New York City Marathon, I might finish this undertaking just in time to find my spot in the start area for the 2022 Spring Lake Five.
Enjoy your Saturday.
