our 33rd Milo Marathon experience

yesterday was a different Sunday for us, it’s our debut to the biggest running event happening nationwide – the 33rd Milo Marathon. we were already awake few more minutes before 4:00am and were already driving to km zero by 4:30am. our 5k dash will officially starts by 5:30am so we need to be at the queuing area at least 15mins. we arrived earlier and were amazed on the big crowd of runners joining this event. people from all walks of life patiently wait --professionals, families, students, kids and dogs. so all the while we thought it would only be our Bea who would be joining the race, we were off beam.

3K and 10K runners

5K runners, the most numbered!

the running event by the way started at 4:30am for the 42km runners so at 5:30am the 10k batch goes first followed by the 3k all kiddies batch, then the 5k batch that made the big number of runners. Oliver run ahead of us with his team from P&G while Bea & i shortly followed with our jog and walk rhythm. most of the participants of the 5k run does the same rhythm we did basically because we are not after the medal or the cash or the fame – it’s all because of the fun walking with lotsa people, let me recall that this is a Fun Run so no big competition fellas! If anyone wants to compete, then join the 42k :)

Oliver finished the race within the 1hour time frame so he got his certificate while Bea and i half finished the race. Bea was such a crowd favorite, and lots of people took photo of her and some even pose with hers. she loves to be in limelight and her instant star status yesterday. i hope she will make it this year to the Great Dog Dash happening sometime in September.

Bea and Dadi after the race

posers as usual :)

we were about to go home when we bumped to this black lab we earlier seen at the race, seems he likes my girl...wink** wink**

flirting!

after battling with traffic for one and half hour we dined at Burger's King in MOA, and our Bea had a whooper sandwich and a scoop of ice cream. it was a weekend blast!

teaching her how eat ice cream

we are now looking forward in doing this running activity every Sunday, hopefully join the Globe Run for Home on July 19.
