Bolder Boulder 2010 - the family edition

Call us dedicated, call us crazy but we actually flew all the way from the Philippines back to Colorado to participate in the annual Bolder Boulder 10K run.

Anyways, it's Tyler's 3rd year and Cody's first. And i run(ok, more like walk) it, every other year depending if i'm needed. Usually, i'm the one that slows the crew down. This year, due to some tragic traffic jam(didn't get to starting line on time) and my slow coach speed, we didn't even get to finish in the stadium :(

We were hoping that Tyler would do more running since he runs ALL the time, but no. The only time he's asked to run, he rather ride on Daddy's shoulders!!

And like the few previous years, Steffen is there with us providing mule power!!

First 1 minute into the race, lot's of enthusiasm from Tyler!!

Most of the way, it looked more like this

A few rare pictures of me

"This is how i run", says Tyler

Yippee!!! Unfortunately we were still miles from the finish!!!

I think we all had fun though it was definitely stressful trying to get 2 kids ready on time on my own. Alan spent the night with Steffen as they both were doing a "real" run before doing it the 2nd time with us. Both Alan and Steffen did well in their runs.

Special thanks to Damith and Sabrina, our shuttle crew, who got us to the starting line. We were late(not their fault) but at least we made it!!! :)
