The Pink/Blue Run

Every 10km run is hard for me, and this one was hard too.  But the difference was it was a complete charity based run.  No trophies and age group awards.  Therefore, I could just go out and do my best without feeling the pressure of getting a trophy (I do not overly care, but Sebastian does!).  I love the medal more than any one I have ever gotten and that is enough.  Also, I realised even though people make fun of the fact I rarely leave my neighbourhood I have actually probably seen more tourist sites than most people I know and at the most beautiful sunrises.  Again this run was all through the temples and victory monument, lots of beauty. I still swore under my breath the whole way through as to why I woke up at 3am to go through the pain.  But then I got my pretty medal and all was better! 

The Banyan Tree, Bangkok

I have been truly blessed to make amazing friends at every job I have had.  I have always been able to find my people and I know how rare and special that is.  This year for my birthday Lyndsey and Andrew gave me a night stay at the very exclusive Banyan Tree hotel here in Bangkok.  Friday night we used it.  It was amazing, every detail, the service, room, view, breakfast, executive lounge.  All amazing.  I felt so special, lucky and amazed that I have them and not because of this hotel but generally as they are the best people (okay and the hotel was a bonus!).

LaLa Mukha Khao Yai

Sunday was the Tri and pool events.  And it was super.  We did have an accident that dampened it a bit but luckily Zemi was okay. He had a fall and hurt his two fingers but nothing broken.  Besides that it was a day of fun.  Then the hardest part came, the awards.  It is also so hard to make sure all the children feel happy and that they all did well.  Especially now as they are older and can keep track themselves.  Years previous I sort of tricked them a bit.  Either way they all seemed super happy.  LaLa Muhka, the place we do it were amazing and so helpful with everything.  It is a great place, we just love it there.

Kick Off of the Main Events

Saturday afternoon the main events kick off.  This year I upped my game and purchased a lot more games to do.  Before kick off we went to lunch at this interesting place called Midwinter.  It was just like being in Sommerset in the UK.  Khao Yai has so many interesting in places we have decided to tyr and spend some more time there.  The events went off so well.  I started this year with a team building activity upstairs and then we headed to the field.  Red Team took a clear lead after the Saturday events.  I also introduced Upstander awards given to children for acts of kindness.  It was a hit.  We followed the events with a BBQ and campfire.  It was great.
