Run With Dogs : No Running At All!

No Running At All!

Posted by: Audrey Post date: May 29th, 2009

I think this is the first week I haven’t run at all. Nothing, nada. Having said that, I did 5km on the treadmill with the incline quite high, but I think it was last week. Can’t remember. Very unmotivated.

We went to Caloundra for the foreshore fun run last Sunday. It’s one of my favourite runs of the year. Great location and very well organised. I did the 10k in one hour exactly. Not my worst, but far from my best. There was a lady there running with her dog. I’m going to start checking to see if we can take the furkids on some of these low key runs. Hubby and the kidlets did the 3k, which was quite hilly, in just over 19 minutes. I’m going to have to shake a leg, or Master nearly 7 is going to whip my butt! We maintained our winning streak by taking out one of the lucky draw prizes.

We went to the Sorry Day ceremony last Tuesday morning. It was excellent, very intense. You can read about it all in books and the newspapers, but it’s very moving to hear the stories, straight from those who lived them. We met a Canadian lady, who explained that the same thing had happened in Canada, and also a Cherokee Indian lady who told how her people had been moved from their native land at gunpoint. People in power have been doing bad things to others for a very long time.

Miss 9 is at camp tonight with Girl Guides. The Gold Coast 5k is on on Sunday and we’re hoping to win a night at the Hyatt, LOL. This weekend we’re rostered on to clean the Guide hut, and I have 8 articles to write by the end of next week!

We’re going to Gympie to race the rattler, the kidlets can participate this year, so we’re making a family team. Not only that, but I approached the organisers, and they’re happy to have the dogs run with us. Yay! Looking forward to it already.

for someone not running you have an awful lot on your plate! But, as the saying goes, sometimes a change is as good as a holiday.

Hope the running mojo returns! “Furkids” – I love that!
