Mother's Day Classic

Row and Justin planned a such lovely Mother's Day for me. The Mother's Day Classic is a 4km or 8km walk or run around the Domain which is part of the botanical gardens. This walk is in support of breast cancer awareness. We had a very early start to the day and had to be up and out of bed at 6am and it didn't involve breakfast in bed. After quite a rough night with Justin's lack of sleep, I was quite grumpy and very tempted to cancel our big walk but I pulled myself together and was determined to enjoy my Mother's Day. After a quick breakfast and a much needed caffeine fix, we headed downtown ready to participate in this huge event. Our friend Lisa had already registered us and was waiting and lucky for us, because there were so many people, it really was a very well supported event. There was a sea of pink and some of the participants were wearing tags which said why they were running and for whom, like one elderly man was walking because he had just lost his sister last month and his wife is currently undergoing treatment. It was really nice to see that there were all ages participating, from the very young being pushed in their prams, young children to teenagers, young men and women to elderly men and women. There was such a good vibe and it was a very pleasant walk. We did the 4km walk and were finished in 2hours. We then rewarded ourselves with a delicious brunch in Surrey Hills. On our way home, Row took Justin to the playground which gave me the opportunity to come home and have a much needed nap. 

My Mother's Day is not over quite yet, my own mummy (and daddy) arrive later and we will be having dinner at Bg and Louise. 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mummies who do a wonderful job raising children whom we are so blessed to have.
