Fun Walking - 19/3/2011

Come and join us tomorrow…, Auntie said to me as she handed me a bright green T-shirt. Before I could ask her any question, her sharp eyes were already scanning my tummy. “I think the ‘XL’ tee will fit you better”, she concluded. Her reason for wanting me to join the walk suddenly became obvious. With a grin, I thanked her and promised to be there.

At 7.25am the next morning, I grabbed my camera and headed straight to Block 223A hardcourt to meet the Fun Walkers...

Simon leading the warming up session

Swaying the hip ...

Marching on the spot ...

And finally taking a deep breath before starting the walk.

Hey, even a 2 year old kid can join.

Taking a short rest after the walk.

Distributing some goodies.

Everyone had a great time!

Come and Join us in our next Fun Walk
