We made it! We all made it to the finish line together!
For the past five years, Mommy Mundo has been annually organizing a Mommy Milkshake Family Fun Run to promote the many benefits of breastfeeding and to encourage moms to breastfeed their children for as long as they could.
Although we have participated in other Mommy Mundo events such as ExpoKid, MomShare and ExpoMom, we’ve never tried joining Mommy Milkshake. This year, my husband and I decided to take the toddlers to their first ever fun run. This was also my first ever fun run as I’m really not the type who’d engage in sports activities. Mommy Milkshake was the perfect fun run for our family since we could focus more on the FUN than on the RUN. Plus, we’ll be running for a great cause by supporting the breastfeeding advocacy!
We were so excited that no one had difficulty waking up before 4 in the morning. The toddlers were excited to join the race and merrily took a quick bath and dressed up in their running gear. The moon was even still visible in the sky during our drive to Mercato Centrale.
We all crossed the finish line together! Never mind if Jade and I ran only about 100 meters and walked the rest of the way. Never mind if Jakei was too sleepy to even want to walk beside me and proved to be really sleepy and fell asleep before we reached the finish line. Husband patiently jogged beside us( I knew he really wanted to run ahead but opted to stay with the family) and we all made it to the finish line together. This is definitely one of the best family bonding moments we’ve ever had!
I could’ve joined this event if not because of hubby. Huhuhu. I don’t have a running buddy.
Congrats Olga! Huhuhu, inggit ako at hindi kami nakapunta. Did you know I was still awake around that time pero sleepy mode ang mag-ama ko. I wanted to wake them up so we could watch you guys. Next time talaga, kahit sabit na lang ako sa inyo. 😀
Ay, sabi na dapat dinaanan ka na namin eh. Kahit kain na lang tayo sa Mercato minsan. Dami yummy food. hehehe…
i would’ve loved to join this fun event, too! but my distance from the venue really made it impossible to be at the venue by 5am…looks like you really had a wonderful bonding time with the family! hopefully when Jared is a bit older we can finally join in the fun, too! 🙂
The family that runs together, stays healthy together forever. Hehe. Nice bonding time and moment Olga!
what a great family bonding moment 🙂 I am so glad that you and your family were able to join! someday, it would be a dream come true for me if my family can join this too!
