Bolder Boulder 10K Report

Great morning at the Bolder Boulder 10K. The shoes were lined up and ready to roll as we left the house at 6am:

P1090945

The kids (+ Kathy) were in the backseat.

P1090947

I hit the shitter and just made it to my wave in time to start running. I like to live on the edge.

I will say I am not in 10K shape. Sure I just ran a marathon a month ago, but I will say that I haven’t done speed in SO long. This race was hard for me. I was tired the whole time. By the end I wanted to puke up my bagel. But I told myself I would break 50 minutes and I did while almost retching. 49:29 (7:58 avg).

I know I have a faster 10k in me, but not right now.

Ken pushed the hell out of Sam, 13, and got him a new PR of 53:03.

Emma, 10, ran with my friend Kathy who was doing her first 10K. They rocked it out at 1:14. I am so proud of Kathy who literally started running ten months ago. She never thought she could do something like this!

It was great running weather but the minute I stopped running I started freezing, so we didn’t stick around for long. I get mean and ornery when I am cold.

I am just glad to be RACING again. This was my first race since August of last year before I got injured. Hallelujah! For all you injured souls out there, it DOES get better!

P1090949

Just because you wear a hula outfit does not mean you are warm:

P1090948

Got to go. I must be boring someone anonymous.

Happy Memorial Day. Go eat some BBQ.

  1. Excellent response! Love it.

    Way to push that pace! 10Ks are supposed to hurt. ;)

    CONGRATS to the whole family - awesome showing! Emma looks so cute in her skirt!

  2. That is awesome! Great weather for running. I skipped out this year since I'm still recovering a little but made myself do that distance anyway and I was a little bummed that I didn't bite the bullet and do the race anyway.

    p.s. I moved my blog :)

  3. Love your rockin' running family! Emma's skirt...too cute...looking a little cold there. Boring? Who says that? So funny...you are far from boring...many words to describe you beth but Boring isn't one of them. ballsy, humorous, intelligent, go-getter, crass at times (in a good way that doesn't go too far), energetic...but boring? ha! Maybe Anonymous was trying to be funny? LIke telling someone who just completed a marathon to stop being so lazy? Great job today! And your "rock" has been enjoying the good life...camping, beverages, and tunes...You even have a trophy.

    ReplyDelete

  4. love the skirt emma. rock that! and boring? I'm not sure who that was....crazy person. Boring is never in the SUAR vocab.

  5. LOVE your blog. Anonymous is poopie. Loved seeing everyone at all levels pushing to what was outside their own comfort zone - that's the beauty of running - there is a challege and a goal for every single level. GREAT blog - keep it up. Loved that you barely made it to the can and to the start - that is SO ME. Helps get the adrenaline flowing. ;D

    ReplyDelete

  6. anonymous = hater. I love stalking your blog =) So fun to see you all recovered from injury and racing!

    ReplyDelete

  7. I think Anonymous is boring... if they were cool, they would come up with some sort of clever name or not hide behind the anonymous name. I'm just sayin'. How cool is it that it was a family affair?! Awesome push!

    ReplyDelete

  8. Obviously Anonymous has a blog thats soooo much cooler they cant even post their name because they might feel bad for taking all your followers away from your boring blog.

    Excellent racing BTW!

    ReplyDelete

  9. We were sad to miss it this year.
    Hoping for next year.
    Glad you had a good time!

    ReplyDelete

  10. I kept looking at that picture of Kathy saying to myself "wow, Beth has really gone all out for the 10K". Lipstick n all! Then I scrolled down to you in front of the shitter. Now there's the Beth I know!

    ReplyDelete

  11. 10k's scare me, it's like holding that painful 5k pace twice as long! Love your daughters outfit! cognrats to the whole family!

    ReplyDelete

  12. Way to go SUAR family! Your son kicked my butt. My kids are 7 & 9 and after today's race they thought we should all do it next year as well. Can't wait! Oh - great costume Emma!

    ReplyDelete

  13. I live on the edge like that, too…when I'm lucky :P that is a great return-to-racing time! Awesome! And you have some set o' legs on you, woman! They screech 'strong'! That comment was probably just an attention-seeking trouble-maker…and dang…you gave him some attention. I say him because it just seemed very 'guy', didn't it?

    ReplyDelete

  14. Happy Memorial Day to you and your fam! The BB was awesome this morning... especially the free booze afterwards.

    ReplyDelete

  15. Ha! Omg, what is wrong with people?! "Annonymous" shouldn't be a comment option.

    Emma looks so cute in her race outfit!! I love that you guys ran this as a Family, you should be the poster fam for getting America to MOVE. Congrats on the 10K - speediest or not, by Dean's standards you ran as hard as you could for today :)

    ReplyDelete

  16. Looks like a great way to spend Memorial Day - love that the whole family did the run - a great tradition. And at first glance, your friend kathy does look a little like you. ;-)

    ReplyDelete

  17. Awesome time for not doing speed! I'm not sure who's blog this anonymous person is reading, but I've never been bored over here! What a hater.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Cool! I can't wait until my kids can run races with me out of the stroller. Fuck anonymous.

    ReplyDelete

  19. Great job! I am one of those 'injured runners' and slowly making a comeback. It's amazing how every little inch of progress feels amazing!!!

    ReplyDelete

  20. love your blog! ANON's suck ass!! I get em too. delete!

    ReplyDelete

  21. Who cares what anonymous thinks? Must be fun to run with your family.

    ReplyDelete

  22. Nice work Beth! I think you're missing out on a sponsorship opportunity. Sure ... Athleta is more fancy, but Waste Management seems like such an obvious sponsor. A win/win for everyone. That pre-race picture should be all they need to see.

    ReplyDelete

  23. Uh-mazing someone would make a comment like that. Anonymous too, what a weasel.

    Congrats to the entire SUAR fam for great races, especially Mama Bear who is picking up some speed!

    ReplyDelete

  24. LOL at boring blog. People are so stupid. Great job for having the whole family out there!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Wahahaha anon needs to do a guest post!
    Great race and a fine showing! Love that pic of Emma in her hula finery.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Love the family affair. Congrats on getting out there. time doesn't matter right now--being there does!

    ReplyDelete

  27. Wow your daughter looks.. COLD!!!!! LOL!!!

    ReplyDelete

  28. I love that your entire family runs, so awesome!

    ReplyDelete

  29. Love it! You guys all look awesome (especially Emma in her super awesome hula outfit) and your 10K time was fantastic, as was Emma's and your friend's. Nice!! (and your blog is the opposite of boring, and Anonymous knows it!). <3

    ReplyDelete

  30. Anonymous is a freaking DORK!

    ReplyDelete

  31. Aw, I love family races! Too bad if I ran with my family they'd kick my booty and leave me miles behind, drinking warm and watery Gatorade.

    ReplyDelete

  32. Anonymous...your comment is boring.
    Onto more exciting news, love that your whole family raced, this is so incredible!
    :)

    ReplyDelete

  33. The anonymous comments, I hate to say, are entertaining. The last one should offend me though. MY favorite blog is boring!?!?

    ReplyDelete

  34. Boring? If there's one thing your blog 'aint and that's boring.

    How wonderful that your whole family races together and Emma looks great in that cute outfit.

    I want one of those WTF shirts!

    ReplyDelete

  35. Wow, I can't wait for the day that I consider 10K to be a short, sprinty race! I've only been running for about 9 months and they still seem like "long runs" to me!

    How awesome that your whole family runs, and your friends too!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Well I love your boring blog, if Anonymous really want a boring blog he/she/it should read mine!!!

    Love Emma, so cute and she runs a real winner. (don't worry I'm an old happily married man and I don't need a date)

    ReplyDelete

  37. I love Emma's outfit. i think that my daughter has one like that.
    49 minutes is great for not having raced in a year is awesome!!! and i love that Emma raced with your friend! very fun!
    p.s. boring, really i would like to know what other blogs he/she is reading?

    ReplyDelete

  38. I am hoping to do the Bolder Boulder next year with my sister. Great time for not doing any speed training. I love the hula outfit and she does look a little cold! I am doing my first 10k in three weeks and am soooo excited!

    ReplyDelete

  39. Love it!!! Way to beat your goal...well done!!!

    I love Emma's skirt!!!

    ReplyDelete

  40. I love that this was a whole family event! Congrats!

    ReplyDelete

  41. nice family outing. Yeah, 13.1 and less distance are pretty much full out sprints haha. They hurt.

    Great job to you and your family! Put some meat on your bones will you?

    ReplyDelete

  42. Love the little hula outfit. So cute! Maybe you should consider a matching version next time, eh? It might make your blog less boring ;)

    The anonymous boring comment made me laugh so hard...

    ReplyDelete

  43. I love the picture with all four pairs of shoes. I wish I could get my entire family out there!

    Great job on the sub-50! I hate 10Ks. I feel like puking too.

    ReplyDelete

  44. BORING!? Wow. Anonymous must work for the circus or maybe in the E.R. because otherwise they wouldn't find your blog boring. Psssh. Whateva...

    Awesome job on the 10k! That's smoking fast! I don't care what you say!

    ReplyDelete

  45. Your family is so cute. I love that you all run together!

    I feel like anonymous was kind of lame with his comment. Common, dude. Be a little more creative with your negative comments.

    ReplyDelete

  46. I love that you run this race with your family. You are all so speedy! That is a fast 10K! And I am so impressed that Emma ran it!

    ReplyDelete

  47. i love that you got to run with your family. Congrats. How amazing!

    ReplyDelete

  48. I agree with everyone else - it's so awesome that you got to run with the family!

    ReplyDelete

  49. I just started following your blog and it is NOT boring! Every day is not going to be exciting, but you write it so wonderfully (and funny, might I add) and we aren't expecting you to be Wonder Woman every day (because, ya know, that's me!) lol

    Love ya!

    ReplyDelete

  50. Poor emma...she looks like she's freezing!! I think it's awesome that you ran this as a family! Hopefully someday, I'll get to do that with my boys too!

    ReplyDelete

  52. I don't post often, but I read every post... and Mr. Anonymous has goaded me into saying something. Boring? Seriously? Mr. A. must have a seriously underdeveloped sense of humor.

    ReplyDelete

  53. Congrats to you and your family.

    The Bolder Boulder was the first race I ever ran - I was 11 and lived in Boulder at the time. My dad, my sister and I did it; and we're going to fly out next year for our 30 year anniversary and run it together again.

  54. I am bringing you a jacket and a blanket in three weeks b/c I don't want any attitude when I am up there.

    And I will bring TP for you too so we don't lose any precious time while we are hanging out.

    Anonymous....c'mon dude/dudette....show your face if you are going to comment that way.

    ReplyDelete

  55. Anonymous sucks. I love this blog It makes me smile and laugh and encourages me to keep on running! It's become part my my daily routine!

    ReplyDelete

  56. I love the post-race pictures of your kids! My four-year old ran her first 5k a couple of months ago and I can't wait until she's running further and faster and keeping track of PRs.

  62. Once you put on the Womens Slipper, you will feel high flexibility from them, they are not afraid of oil and high temperature. The only problem is, they usually rubber slippers are very heavy, you need to get used to it.

    If you are not satisfied with slippers on, why not have a look the slippers for chewing gum outsole. These slippers material is rubber, which is transparent to the appearance, but you can choose black or yellow. A good bit of chewing gum outsole brown monkey slippers for adults is their soft, elastic, and has good friction resistance.

  68. People know what it's like to face the challenge of cleaning a messy bedroom. Sometimes, it can feel like you're about to climb Mount Everest when all you're really doing is putting some clothes and books away. Luckily, it doesn't have to be as hard as scaling the tallest peak. Follow these simple steps to make cleaning your room a walk in the park rather than a mountain climbing race. شركة مكافحة حشرات بجدة شركة مكافحة النمل الابيض بجدة شركة كشف تسربات المياه بجدة شركة تسليك مجارى بجدة شركة مكافحة حشرات بالاحساء شركة مكافحة النمل الابيض بالاحساء شركة كشف تسربات المياه بالاحساء

  70. Plan out when you will take a break. Taking a break to eat, drink, and kick up your heels is often a good idea. However, don’t let yourself become too distracted during your break! Plan out a chosen amount of time that you will take a break for. It is best to take a break after you have completed an entire task rather than in the middle of it. One example could be that you plan to take a break after you have cleaned out under your bed and before you start organizing the smaller things in your room.
    • Don't take a break if the time of your break comes around and you feel as though you're on a roll. Use that feeling of being on a roll to get even more done!

  99. Most kids like to play games online at school.Thousand of students had access to computers at school and want to play single or 2 player unblocked games.
    This website has more than twenty categories to discover.Ofcourse you can play offline a lot of quality video mario games.
    I prefer online as these are free and most of them can be played in full screen.
    Many businesses and schools had restricted access to malicious or otherwise inappropriate websites on their networks. Anyway, a variety of proxy sites offer access to hard websites like flash or unity games.
    Many of these sites advertise specifically to children as a free and fun way to play kizi games at school.
    Although these games are normally blocked on the network by the operating system, the proxy server acts as an intermediary in that, to the network, it appears that the user is simply browsing the proxy site when he or she is actually playing games or are surfing on i8napropiate websites for adults or other.
    So using our proxy server you are able to play at work or at school and nobody know.
    No matter what you play puzzle, action, dressup,skill or solitaire card you can load all at any time.
    The website offer the oportunity to discover new or popular many flash, unity or html5 math games.If you like bookworm popcap game you can play it here on pc, tablet or ipad.
    To play it on smartphone you will be redirected to the mobile version where you play also unic games in single or 2 player and in full screen.
    Still there are available brain games who will help your brain to stay young and healthy keeping you away of disease.
    Most played are 2 player where you can chose to play it even in single player vs computer.
    No need to remember the mobile version adress ,just remember only the top domain and based on your device dimensions you will be redirected by browser.
