Lived in Boulder for a few years, and I have to admit that it was painfully disappointing. Now that I’ve left, the entire running community looks like a delusional cult to me. The running is pretty good, but there are plenty of other amazing places to train. The dating scene is abysmal. There is no diversity. There are very few attractive people. Outside of the university and the pro athletes who live there, there really aren’t any young people so it is very boring and isolating. The pro athletes can’t even afford to live in Boulder so they’re all stuck out in the suburbs (Funbarrel and Schlongmont). The OAC gym is located in a 1 star shopping center. I wish I could drag everyone out of that dump so they know what they’re missing out on.
