Bridge Run

Hey everyone,

Well Isla and I took part in another sporting event here and once again I'm impressed with how the outdoor lifestyle in Australia is facilitated by the reliability of the weather. Isla ran the Sydney Half Marathon and I did the 9km Bridge Run. Considering the trauma of the City to Surf race I'm surprised I actually turned up for the race but I had decided that I was going to do it in under 1 hour to redress the balance of me versus the road. Besided the first part of the race was over the Harbour Bridge which was closed to traffic that morning so crossing it in that fashion is something most people never get to do.

The rest of the run was thankfully uneventful and I crossed the line in 59 mins and 16 seconds with a massive smile on my face. Got the bug properly now and I'm eager to do another race however at the moment I can hardly walk so it may be several days before I get my running shoes on again. Mind you from this photo you can tell that I had a pretty good time doing it so a bit of pain in the thighs won't put me off.
