Ray and I ignored the alarm this morning and decided to run this afternnon instead. We met Berni and did an 11km loop from Olds Park in Peakhurst, through Mortdale, Oatley and across the bridge to Como and back. It was a really pleasant run and there were quite a few ups and downs to make up for the missed session :-) We ran at a nice slow pace and averaged about 5:55/km.

This morning I met up with Kerry and Bernie at the park for 16kms. We stayed pretty much in the park and it was a brilliant way to start the day. We ran in all sorts of directions searching out new parts of the park... we even had a hobit like moment as we ran through some pine trees. This week we were admiring the cute little baby geese instead of the swans! I even confronted my childhood fear of nasty geese and got up pretty close for a sticky beak. We averaged about 5: 42/km.

Now I must mention the brilliant debut run of my sister on Sunday. In all my excitment I forgot :-) We bullied her around for a grand total of 2.5kms. And she managed her first full km in 6:20 secs! Not too shabby given that was her first km and she has not attempted to run in over 4 weeks! I will get her running yet!
