A jog in the park

This weekend we participated in the Passion Run at East Coast Park. I ran 12km which I have supposedly been training for rather haphazardly for a few months (keeps getting interrupted by holidays, moving house, illness and laziness). The kids and Matt did the 5km event on no training (love their confidence). Anyway it all went well with us all jogging our respective distances without stopping which made everyone keen to sign up for another fun run soon.

Also on Saturday, Alice and I took Speedy, her turtle, to the vet as Alice had successfully diagnosed the lumps on the side on her head as an ear infection (with the help of an online vet and some internet research). Alice had also worked out that Speedy was a girl and the vet confirmed this. Now Speedy has to have iodine dabbed on ears every day which is a two person job - I can see we are all getting a bit too attached to Miss Speedy!

This evening my boss, Julie invited our dog Buckley for a play at her place as her daughter is desperate for a dog. The whole family was allowed to tagalong for the BBQ. It was a very pleasant evening and we are glad our dog is happy to extend his social invitations to others in his family.

    12km. Pretty Good!. Good to see the whole family with some fitness too.
    What times did everyone do? (and yes I remember that Singapore running tends to be slower than running in cooler, less humid Melb.).

    Going in a funrun at Williamstown this weekend. forecast for a max of 15 deg. Should be starting the run at about 7 deg.

    The 5km runners did a respectable 35:29 as a team.

    I finished in 01:19:22.20. It wasn't so much the heat that slowed me down, it was all the people at the start, took a while to begin running it was so crowded then I spent a long time dodging people and then the last 2.5km we joined that same course as the 5km runners so it got really slow again. I had wanted to do it in about 1 hr 12 mins but was happy to have jogged the whole way and feel good.
