Rainbow Run 2: Superman and Supergirl Finished the Race

May 25, 2012 by

We did sign up for Rainbow Run 2 at the Fun Ranch and we finished the 1K run!

Assembly time was at 4:00pm but Jade had summer camp at SM Marikina until 3pm so we didn’t make it on time.  We arrived about 10 minutes before Gun Start and had time for a couple of pictures before the race started (and before we were all sweaty and icky).  The little ones were dressed as superheroes and gamely posed for the camera.

Here’s our little Supergirl:

And here’s the strong and brave Superman:

They looked so cute in their costumes that they were also given the Best in Costume Award along with three other kids who were wearing costumes:

It was our first time to join the Rainbow Run and from the fun that we had, we’d definitely be joining again next year.  The 400-peso fee was well worth it as we not only had fun running as a family, eating yummy spag and waffles, and watching the games, we also went home with free goodies and plenty of wonderful memories.

Mommy Milkshake 2011 – Our First Ever Family Fun Run

August 14, 2011 by

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!
