medal is not the goal but it is a good motivation.

we the whole family applied to join a fun run that should've been held on 21 march but, as the pandemic came by, it was cancelled. the event organizer decided to delay until september but it seems that in this country the pandemic still won't be over until this year end. not pesimistic, just being realistic.

last month the event organizer announced that the fun run will be changed into virtual run that will be held early october this year. all participants can join by submitting individual run that is recorded to applications such as endomondo or else. that is fair enough although not as fun as real fun run. but who wants to get into crowd in times like this? oh the covidiots of course. but certainly not us.

so last week we took our running starter pack, that should be t-shirt, number, and backpack. we thought the medals would be given as participants submit their recorded run. but turned out the medals were there inside the starter pack.

the kids laughed at it. ar and ir glad that they don't have to run but still get the medals. ibit said, 'i don't deserve this' but too lazy to virtual run. i'm still preparing myself for my own run.

this, was Aik's first fun run. he was so excited receiving the starter pack and couldn't wait to run wearing the shirt and chest number. he always count days one by one everyday every time we scheduled something. that could be annoying sometimes haha. so to reduce the counting we decided that he would run on the closest upcoming weekend. 





we told him that he should run 2,5 km to get the medal and he did 2,8 km (4 laps at the field he ran plus walked around).




it doesn't matter if we don't submit it, he deserve it still. he happy, we proud.

now it's my turn so i deserve the medal we have received.
