Roseanne’s Church camp have a 5km and a 10km cross country run each year. She invited me along this year - who am I to refuse a gift run in the mouth, to completely trash a common saying!

After a rainy Saturday night, this morning was clear and fresh. We headed off just after 7.30am, the course started around an oval, then headed into the bush, around a lake and along a few trails. There were a couple of slight hills, but nothing really high. It was so nice, now I see why my hubby will never do a road marathon again, he’s much more into trail running. Anyway, I thought we were doing well, and when we finished, we’d done the 5km in 29.00 minutes! That’s the fastest I’ve ever done, and considering Roseanne hasn’t been out running much of late, she did just briliantly.

I think my secret is the several glasses of Shiraz I had with dinner on Saturday night!

So, I’m feeling a bit more motivated, and am even keener to do the 6km trail run at Maleny in November. My hubby has suggested I do a 5km beachside run next Saturday morning, but I’m a bit unsure. I’d have to get up really early to get started at 6.30am, then find  a shower, then go to work from 8am ti 2pm, then in the evening we’re probaby going to an astronomy session in a park about an hour away from here. I’ll see what I can work out though, it’d be nice to do that as my 3rd run of the week.
