Race Weekend

We got motivated one day .. or should I say 'I' did (& just signed my hubby up at the same time) and booked some 'races'. I like to call them 'races', I mean they are 'really' ... however they are just 'short & sweet' races, enough to take your breath away from you, but still amount to fun & not be too painful!

We thought it would be wise to start off small & work our way up. So this past Sunday morning we found ourselves out of the house just before 6:30 a.m. and on the road to our first 5k race in Strathfield. It was FREEZING (yes, I'm totally climatized and think rain is cold these days - ha.

The race was AWESOME! We are not runners, more like slow joggers - however each very competitive. So put a few other hundred runners in our path & we'll run till we can't breath to pass them =)











Post race we enjoyed some random 'fitness' drink... or so the bottle said =)



Pete posed for me post race - in a kind demonstration of 'how fast he ran'


After the race we decided that since we were up, semi dresses, sweaty and had no where else to go to at that time in the morning (sadly we'd missed meeting) that we'd treat ourselves to breakky at none other than 'Breakfast Point' - which I like to call 'Desperate Housewives Village' everything is white & perfect! ha!












Overall it was a simply great day! We had Mum & Dad Malone over for lunch & made it to the mission Sunday afternoon =)

Next race is slightly longer... 10k and we have about 4 weeks to train!!!!

"Running just as fast as I can....."
