Phuket Kid's 2 km Run

One of my proudest moments as a runner and father was to see David completing the 2 km kid's run.

At the finishing point, I was looking for the family when Ethan who found me instead. He told me that David was running and led me to MBH. She was positioned at the end point armed with her camera. The children were coming in at that point. More than 300 kids, I was told.

And there he was, running like a pro. David saw us, gave us a smile and hesitated for a split second before running down through the finishing line. We were so proud of him!





PS: Ethan wasn't up to the run, but completed a 3 km training run/walk on Tuesday.

I'm a Winner: Cold Storage Kids' Run 2008

June 1, 2008

First of its kind, Cold Storage Kids Run is the only running event for children from three to 12 years in Singapore. There were different categories - competitive and fun. The boys were signed up for the Boogey Blue Dash, while all the other friends were in the fun category (Sporty Red Chase).

The blue dash was over 800 m from Connaught Drive to Saint Andrew Road, for children between 7 to 9. The flag off by NMP Eunice Olsen was at 8:30 am. The red chase started off later, at 9:30 am. The winners of the blue chase came in at 2 min 47 sec (boys) and 3 min 01 sec (girls).

The boys were really pleased with their race, especially the medals!
