Last Monday, my husband and I ran the Bolder Boulder 10K. Finishing the run definitely qualifies as a Perfect Moment -- AND we did it on a Monday.The thing that really made this stand out for me is that our three early-teenage sons completed the run (all 10K) with us. Later, when we asked what they had learned about themselves by completing the run, they said:
• I gained confidence.
• I realized that when you set a goal, you can reach it.
• That even though something seems impossible, it isn’t.
So, I guess I had at least two Perfect Moments last Monday. Truly Awesome!
By the way...I am the one in the picture wearing the green long-sleeve shirt (just kidding)!

It was perfect for me, too, because I got to share it with you up close and personal.
(As much as possible without my actually having to RUN.)
Congratulations, What a Wonderful accomplishment. I am so happy for you and your Dh.
What an accomplishment - for all of you. I think my life will be complete when my kids can verbalize such important things!
you are soo right about setting those goals and then getting to the finish line.
I ran the Boulder Bolder way back in the 80s .. and ran a 5k last weekend. My goal: to keep moving.
Love the BB cause you get to watch the elite runners coming in AFTER you. What fun.
Congrats! keep on running.
Wow, what an accomplishment both as a runner and as a parent!
Congratulations. That is quite an achievement. It must have been so rewarding for you to have your sons with you too!
Um, hello? Isn't it that you ran with your *sister* that truly made this moment (well 65 moments) perfect???
Congrats for finishing!
