My First 800

I signed up my kids for the Cold Storage 2011 Kids Run. Wanted them to have a try at the under 2 Stroller race. Got their strollers in good shape, the missus even went to the gym to get fit so that she can push the little one through the 800m course. It was very exciting, I did not get a shirt size to fit them as that was all taken so got them the smallest size which basically was still oversized for them. On the day we left the house at 7.30 to get to the Padang by 8am their race was at 9am. It was a hot and humid Sunday. Strolled around the area to catch the festivities, when it was time got the kids to wear the shirt but the boy had his own ideas and refused to wear or sit in his pram. So in the end only the little girl (my brave little girl) went with mummy to do the race. It was just a short 800m walk round the Padang and they did it in 2 waves and when she cross the finish she got a little medal for her efforts, her first one and she’s not even 2 yet. Maybe next year it will be a parent and child race no more stroller event.
