Made it out for a run through the gardens and along the river between and in showers! Spring is springing!

After a long day yesterday working with teachers in Tauranga it was catch up time today. Lots of admin but also an early finish to make the most of the glorious weather. An early start meant there was time for a late afternoon run at Little Waipa. My fastest 12km yet on that route! Stuffed but pleased! And a beautiful sunset.

Bit off a bit more than I could chew today! I should have stuck to my gut feeling and turned around earlier but I went with Jo and Paula all the way to Waotu South which meant I had to come all the way back! Had to dig deep for the last 5km!
So, 31km under my belt. Wonder if I’ll be able to walk tomorrow! We are lucky to have the Waikato River Trails on our doorstep though!

Ran my fastest 15km yet today. It was a beautiful day out on the trails at Little Waipa. Cold, crisp but clear blue sky. Got to love autumn days like today!

Cyclone Cook was supposed to hit us full force this afternoon. The amazing and highly addictive tracking thingy had the eye of the storm coming right over the top of us. So we battened down the hatches, got plenty of supplies in and waited. Then we watched it veer off to the east. We had plenty of rain but the wind missed us. In fact, it seemed so uneventful that we headed to the pub for 3 Beer Thursday and spent a cosy few hours playing cribbage! I also managed to get a run in before the rain hit at lunchtime. The river’s up!

A handstand photo or a beer photo?! Oh dear, getting a bit predictable! Handstand by the river on the way to the pub….

A bike ride this afternoon- low impact training to help assuage my hip! Lovely light on the Waikato river. As well as the ducks and the flowing river, drones now seem to be part of the landscape.

Educampthetron was today. It was great to share a day of learning and practice with colleagues in the Waikato. Later on we went into town. The new sculpture is now unveiled. Not sure entirely what I think of it. Quite impressive, definitely stands out. I have a feeling that it could become an iconic symbol of the Tron.
Day 88 March 28th 2016
Counting down the days now… Today’s 10km walk/run will be pretty much the last one before Saturday and the 100km. Maybe a couple of 5s just to keep the legs ticking over, but that is it! It was a beautiful evening and the Waikato river never fails to look stunning. Love the walkway through the bush, peaceful with just the call of the cicadas and the birds.
