On your marks, get set, go!

An event that Wayne has been looking forward to for weeks, it was finally the day of the Cold Storage Kids Run! It was Wayne's first run. 

We woke up early on Sunday morning and mommy prepared Wayne's breakfast of bread jam with Ribena. Apparently, no milk before the race, instead non-acidic juice is advised. Daddy and Wayne changed into their jerseys and wore their race bibs. We reached the Padang at 9am, ahead of our race timing at 950am. 

The Padang was filled with children and there was also a carnival with lots of games to entertain the children. There were many race categories, some competitive and some not. Wayne was in the 'Singapura Finance Blue Sky Chase' category (what a name!), for kids aged two to four. Though it was non-competitive, I think Wayne and his daddy took the race really seriously! Haha.

Yay!! Wayne and daddy just before heading to the starting point

Even before the race started, Wayne's cheeks were so red!!

This was taken at the finishing line.. Wayne was so happy to complete his 800m run. Look at the big smile on his face and he was skipping and hopping his way in.

It was a really fun experience and we are just glad that Wayne thoroughly enjoyed himself! It was great fun cheering Wayne on and seeing him all excited with the attention!
