S.I.S.T.E.R.

This year we - Kathryn, Amy & I - tackled the whole (12km) City-to-Bay. We even made special t-shirts with our team name - S.I.S.T.E.R.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day - although it was a bit hot when the breeze disappeared - & we were amongst a crowd of nearly 35,000 people.

The run definitely wasn't easy, but it did feel good (especially at the end.....when I got to stop :P ). I was also pleased with my time of 1 hour 41 minutes.

early morning light....

we've started training to run in the city-to-bay fun run (in mid September). We're getting up at 6am, so we can be ready to leave the house by 6.30. Training is five days per week & our regime is set by my younger brother - based on a training program suggested on the city-to-bay website.
Getting out of bed that early can be a challenge - especially as it's still dark. The actual training is kinda fun, but hard & tiring.
One extra benefit of all of this is getting to be out in the early morning light - it's just gorgeous & a few times I've grabbed the camera once we've gotten home & gone chasing the sunlight :)
