Sunday - the day of rest! Not for us on July 18th 2010. Up at the crack of dawn, we headed to the city to 'Run Melbourne'. It's the first and largest participation event in Victoria and runs through the streets and parks of Melbourne.
Darren and I did the 10km event, but it felt a lot longer! We were lucky to have the sun with us, but there was a chilly breeze which made it a cold wait to start! It was a tough course with many hills, but we'd set ourselves the target of completing it in less than an hour and we crossed the finish line in 57 minutes and 17 seconds, so we were chuffed!
I think that around 18,0000 people participated and over a million dollars was raised for charity, so it was great to be part of it. We couldn't take the camera with us so there aren't any pictures of us I'm afraid - although maybe that's a good thing!
After the run we met up with friends in St Kilda for a well deserved lunch in a beachside cafe - and the heavens opened! So glad the run was in the dry in the morning!
