41.44

Went into Oz Experience Saturday to sort out out November itinery. We have it all planned out, now we just need to finalise it and then get it booked up. It'll be alot of travellin in a short period of time, and we had to skip a few places, but it'll be dead good, and we can go back and do the bits we miss and the bits we like again in the near future. The weather failed to disapoint again and the sun well and truly had his hat on. Bondi beach was packed.
Sunday was the bridge run. Up at 6am to get there. It advised to get there an hour before, which i did, but which was unnecessary as I was standing around for ages. I took my camera tho so got some photo's from the start. i managed it in 41m 44s which I was pleased with - was aiming for 45mins. It was a little over 9k. The sun was out so it was hot which I was really pleased about too! There was a guy running with his son who was about 10, and at the halfway I heard him say 'if we stick to this pace we should do 42 (minutes)" so I kept them in close proximity as a pace setter! Finished in time to watch the first of the marathon runners finish, missed the man, but the 1st female came home in 2hrs 40 something minutes. Not sue what the official times are or the winning times were but they'll be on the website soon so i'll let you know. There should also be loads of photos too so again, Ill keep u informed. I took a few myself which Ive uploaded (they're in the sydney album).
Lee and amey have gone kayaking with our mate tom so it's a bite to eat then Im taking my iPod and my Magazine to the busy beach! xxx
