Bolder Bouler

They'll be running and walking at the back of the 45,000 field in the Bolder Boulder 10k on Memorial Day. That's because they don't want to get trampled on -- or have anyone trip over their oxygen cylinders.

Yes, really some of them might need it. But a lot of them won't. "They" are the Bravehearts, a group of people who are all on their way back from serious heart problems. Ranging age from 50-81, they include people who've dealt with heart attacks, heart surgery -- some have pacemakers. Part of their cardiac rehab has been a weekly meet with Marci Roschke, assistant coach with Bobby McGee, who keeps them up with a progressive program designed by Bobby to enable them to complete the six-mile event. Last night I joined them for a session of Barines, their final serious workout before the Bolder Boulder.
