Sunday was Mother's Day, and my family participated in the Sport Chek Mother's Day Run & Walk. This was our first time in the event, and there were thousands of other people and families who came out to enjoy the beautiful weather. Some 14000 individuals were registered for the various walks and races (5km & 10km), not including children and dogs. After the start gun sounded, it took us nearly 19 minutes to slowly make our way across the START line.
Dylan insisted on walking portions of the route, and probably ended up walking about 2.5km.

There was entertainment along the course including dancers and singers. We also saw a man with a giant iguana on his shoulder walking the 5km route. Dylan ran a race with other 2 and 3 year olds and got his first finishing medal! My mom didn't participate this year, but she thinks she'll try it out next year.
Happy Belated Mother's Day to all you moms out there!
