A Walkathon And A Makanthon Too?
First thing, let me just say how proud I am of Raimie.
Sunday, Nov 11th is the World Diabetes Day 5km walkathon and 10km fun run was held. I registered myself for the 10K run and for Raimie & Zaini; 5K walkathon. It ended up I had to sit out from running this event due to injury... uhuhuh so, I decided to take over photography duties from Zaini and let the boys have fun.I wish I was running too but I consoled myself that I have a bigger fish to fry next week. Be patient, legs.

Walking towards the Starting line from somewhere near Lake Garden. This stretch of road will be full of tours buses parked by the roadside (and Chinese tourists by the look of it) later in the morning.

All smiles and almost time to be flagged off.

5K Walkathon being flagged off. No photos of 10K starting because well, we arrived 20minutes after 10K started and 10 minutes before the walkathon to start.

Mommy tried to capture runners and walkers in action, while waiting for her two boys. The photos are up over at FB.

Then, got a call from Daddy that they were arriving and Mommy ran towards them and take this shot. Then, Daddy head over to his finishing area (Men Open) while Mommy ran in front of Raimie as he walked towards his finishing area (Boys 12yrs and below).

Raimie and his cetificate of completion and... a limited medal to boot! Woot! Woot!

Proud son and his equally proud daddy. Mommy is totally happy too.

Then, time to head off to redeem their goodie bags and most important at any sport venue:

Raimie's Top 100 finisher medal and certificate
We can't go to the Terry Fox Run that was held at Padang Merbok at 9.00am because we needed to rush to Bangi. We went to FIL's house to shower and get ready, and with FIL travelled to Bangi to go to a relative's wedding.

After dropping off FIL back home afterwards, we drove over to Setiawangsa for Zaini's ex-colleague's wedding.
Burp.
Burp.
False alarm! Makanthon, you said...but no food photos leh? Tsk! Tsk!
ReplyDeleteSee that wedding dais photo? Use your imagination... kenduri food almost all the same mah! wakaka
DeleteMana itu makanthon? ish ish rasa macam tertipu ni...hehe
ReplyDeletehahaha sorang lagi mangsa! xD
Deleteyoh...saw some terry fox runners this morning la
ReplyDeletekept eyeing see if nampak you or not but tarak nampak...
ReplyDeleteDidn't go for Terry Fox mah... later late pulak to go to Bangi wedding. ;p
DeleteJust bought the t-shirts to support. ^^
pass by dataran area about 8am
ReplyDeleteAt 8am, I must be making myself comfy in the middle of the road near Dataran and take position to take photos of runners & walkers. The two boys must be still walking. ;p
DeleteLOL
Deletecongratulations on the medal :)
ReplyDeletewow, so nice..walkathon and makanthon.
ReplyDeleteSure is. :)
DeleteSo ... will your boys also take part in the Nara marathon? If Raimie continues at this rate, he'll finish way before his dragon mom! ^^
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Pa & Boet! :)
Me no dragon. Me no breathe fire. xD
DeleteYou know, his headmaster; in his year-end speech on Friday spoke about the grit and determination of marathon runners. I am so liking that guy. Hahaha
aiyoyo you had an injury on your leg?? is it the blister that you "earned" from the run last week?? hehe.. yalah, take a break for next week's big fish lah..
ReplyDeleteAiyoh, a blister I can handle la.
DeleteIt's the stabbing pain in the foot. Can barely walk these past few days. :(
So ma being a good girl and being patient letting it heal.
i think it's nice to be the audience watching your two boys arriving at the finishing line and then get their medals and certificates right??
ReplyDeleteNice and I had fun taking photos but I do like running more.
Deleteso many runs and walks event being held recently, like almost every week!! no wonder a friend was complaining that there was a traffic jam when he was going downtown..
ReplyDeleteWho ask your friend to go downtown early in the morning? Jam because everyone also drive around, that one never complain right?
DeleteIt's not a new thing lah. Calendars are packed on Sundays with running events.
Why can't a few thousand runners (and car owners) jammed up the street every Sunday morning anyway? We pay taxes too. And we don't emit harmful carbon dioxida.
haiyoh, they only have milo?? and milo is a no-no for diabetics lah, hmmm.. no other food for the runners?? how about unlimited supply of 100-plus and watermelon, and your favorite taufu fah?? :D
ReplyDeleteDifferent organiser have different sponsors and setting mah.
DeleteNot all run provide free breakfast. This one, still got an apple and some biscuits in the goodie bag lah.
aiyoh, running here and there for events huh, such an eventful sunday you have!! luckily still manage to take a nice shower, or else you are going to the wedding all stinky!! :D
ReplyDeleteOf course lah!
DeleteYou think we'd go visit people's wedding being all stinky. That would b rather... inconsiderate and insensitive towards the hosts, right? ;)
Lina, sakit kaki yang mana? Since when? Sorry I must have missed some details in your earlier blog entry. I hope it gets better soon for this weekend? Eeek. Is it this weekend? Suddenly banyak rama-rama dalam perut I.
ReplyDeleteLeft foot. Felt something pulled mass I tekan minyak and tried to do a strong finish at the final km at CICM run hari tu. At least since last Sat, takdela terhencot-hencot dah. :-P
DeleteMy hubby asks me whether I'm risking a DNF for this week run. :-S
Butterflies are good. Adrenaline rush better. Here's to your PB at PBIM! All the best :-)
