I did it!!

Half Marathon - DONE!

There has been a rather large smile on my face since crossing the finish line at the stairs of the Opera House yesterday morning.
What a blast! I was aiming for around the 2hr mark so my finish time of 2hrs 3mins 34 secs is absolutely fine with me!
I managed to snap a pic at the start of the race as we crossed the Harbour Bridge but then tucked my phone away again and got down to business.

The course is spectacular to run with some awesome views and Sydney's weather yesterday was stunning which made the whole experience fabulous!
Thank you to Wayne who came along to see us at the finish and snapped some pics while he was there for memories sake.

I'll be back next year - just have to decide if I will be lining up for the Half or the Full Marathon...

Father's Day!

We were at Avoca for the weekend so Father's Day started with a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon made by Anton and lots of little gifts for Matt from the kids then with a gorgeous Spring day in action we all headed to Amazement in the Yarramalong Valley with Grandma and the Peetz family!
Amazement was a new find that is very family friendly. The perfect place to take a picnic lunch and spend the day wandering the few garden mazes, talking and patting the animals including rabbits, sheep, ponies, turkey, emus, chickens and ducks. There was face painting, bike riding, sheep races, garden games, sandpit action and ice creams - a fun day!!

We had some very sleepy kids on the drive home which is a good sign of a day spent having fun!
