The running festivals....

We are also trying to emabrace the fit and active lifestyle out here and have taken part in two of Sydney's major running festivals. The first was the City2Surf. The was a 14km run from the centre of Sydney to Bondi Beach. Thousands take part and it was an amazing day. Me, Nigel and Chris entered and managed the run the whole thing! I was only about 12 minutes behind Nigel and it took me an hour and a half. It was such a lovely day and the sun was shining so bright. Lots of people came out to support. Next we took pert in the Bridge run which was shorter at 9km but they closed off the Sydney Harbour bridge for the event. It was great to be able to run across the bridge and it has become part of my running route, altough I now use the footpath at the side.
