Oh how I love that all my little ducks have come back over the hill. The girls are back from holidays with their Dad. Gem looking like she has not slept the entire time she was away and last night slept a solid 14 hours... One tired little duck that is for sure. Courts if it is possible has grown again and is now very definately taller than me... eeeeckkkk. I discussed the Fun Run with the girls, Gem bless her NOT keen... doesn't particularly enjoy running.. Courts yep count her in (even though has done next to nothing for the last 8 weeks).. So an early morning for me and Courts.. Banana on toast for breaky and down to the Inlet for a 7.30am start.
The sun shining, friendly faces smiling everywhere. Close to 800 people I would guess, line up for the start. A nice slow pace up the hills, the serious runners had taken off at a ridiculous pace and the rest of us seem to potter along which suited Courts and I.. Picture if you will... Me yapping , Courts huffing and puffing and the odd grunt. I had the run of the week I think... no pressure, just running with my kid in the early morning sun. Watching the birdlife on the inlet, canoes, and yakking my kids ear off.. Doesn't get any better than that.
Love ya loads Courts... still think I beat you though..We have to wait for the results to be printed in the newspaper after our sprint to the finish giggling... I had so much fun with you!

Wonderful Girls, it sounds like Courtney will be doing some work and getting her revenge on you soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like the women in our family to enjoy a chat.....really !
Courts, I would have been doing the huffing and puffing along with you. And I reckon I may have even grunted a bit.
