At 7am I had my first MRI at the Boulder Community Hospital. I had a great three hour run in Charlotte the first week of April and thought I was ready to roll. Boulder is fortunate that it has a great community hospital system. I had a new experience today. I was a little nervous, although I’m not entirely sure why.
