My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

One down one to go

Today i did the Race for life, 5k around an uneven and very clarty field in Durham. Im so pleased that i did it. I managed a time of 45 mins which i had estimated i would do it in. V had reckoned i would do it in 30 mins. The first k i ran and inbetween i power walked and ran when i felt able due to the ground condition. i managed to sprint the last k and by this stage i was breathing out of my bum. Im sure Ina and Steve were with me in spirit egging me on. the sun shone which was great to see.

Ive had a lovely shower using the stuff i got in my goody bag. Im still coughing a bit and im well knackered. I shall leave till Wednesday any more training.

Next Sunday i have the Great North walk to do. A 10 mile walk, which i expect to take around 1hr 30.

Im off to chill out with a cuppa now. If the kids will behave them selves for long enough
