We participated in the Olympic Day run!!!

Yes, Olympic day run....it was quite coincidental how we chanced upon this wkend coz rem last wkend we were at Clarke Quay's macs and it has been some time since we visited Macs and there we read abt this run but it din click that we shld go coz perhaps it might be oversubscribed but it's on mama's FB as a 'friend' and they sent a msg earlier last wk that there are limited space for it and we just gave a shot and was pleasantly surprised we could still register for it and it was gonna be 845am at ECP so that morning Ian woke up early (which was usually the case tho he could sleep in on Sat am) and we had bf on the go and timed to be there early to pick up the t-shirts but we din know the car parks well enough and we parked a car park earlier (coz the designated one shld be crowded!) but it proved too far walk for us as it was endless to the National Sailing club where we ought to be so we walked almost 30mins and saw the flag off! So we were late at the starting line so we just picked up the stuff and took a pic with the yellow M balloon sculpture there since it was sponsored by Macs

Thereafter we had to backtrack to the carnival ground which was supposed to be 3km run but the boy was too tired after walking so so far and kept saying his legs are tired and his tummy is aching hahhaaa it was a nice morning to walk as the sun was hardly out yet and so daddy ran ahead and picked us up mid way so we walked 3km I suppose the morning since walking to and fro hehehee

And we visited the carnival ground with most of the runners there already and they had alot of activities lined up there like Archery, art stuff and even a stage performance and the boy was most pleased to sit there to watch the children performing as they were from various pri sch and it was quite entertaining so we could just stone there and played some games as well hehee guess Ian is at the age when he could visually enjoy the 'shows' and yet able to participate in the games and guess we could stay on till the end of it but mama had somewhere to rush to so we left before the VIP came

And there was a booth to collect a cert to show that we did go for the run and it was endorsed by IOC hhhmm seems quite impressive huh....it's like a momento for the boy with the Olympic sign on the cert! Guess we never knew there was such an olympic run day in Spore coz we dun see it advertised anywhere and we do see quite abit of public participants and alot families came wearing the t-shirts even, guess we could look out for it again next yr and perhaps we could come much earlier and run with the stroller hahhaaa if the boy is still game for it! What an unexpected eventful Sat morning that we could do together as a family!
