We finished the Half Marathon third leg this morning.  It was warmer today -> 7C, nearly had to take my jumper off!  Meg is a good little pacer.  She pushed me to run faster than I thought I could and she proved to herself that she can run a longer than 5km distance and back it up over 3 days.  I am very proud of us both and actually got quite emotional at the finish.  Justin was at the end point with the girls, they had made a sign and had a ribbon across the path.  We ran to the line  and crashed through the ribbon like the winners of a marathon.  Then Amy and Jess presented us with our medals.  It was a lovely family moment.

After that, we headed over to Cafe Injoy for a big breakfast to satisfy our hungry and worn out selves.  It was perfect.

 

great Challenge and well achieved.

This is a once in a lifetime photo that was taken of Renee and I while we were running one morning.  We passed a girl who was a friend of Nay’s sister and she took this photo.  Great light with the silhouette of us.  I just love it.

I gave out some petty cool parkrun tokens for christmas.  They replace the tattered and sweaty laminated ones we’ve had for ages.  And they worked perfectly. We ran tuggeranong last Saturday,  i did a 26.05, and the barcodes worked a treat.  Here were are celebrating after the finish.



Beach walk

imageHave always wanted to do this beach walk when we’ve been in Perth.  This time, no kids and plenty of hours to do it.  We walked up, had breakfast at a cafe and then walked back agein.  Blissful and an amazing view.  Just after this I got a bee sting!
