A Run in the Cool Night
This afternoon I participated in the Cool Night Classic run. This is a corporate run organised by Price Waterhouse in aid of different charities each year. It is nice and short at only 5km, and it is run late in the afternoon when the temperature has cooled down enough to not make it unbearable. I managed to do it in 31:16, which means I was doing just over 6 minute kilometers. For an old hack like me I didn't think that was too bad.
There were over 4,600 participants, and we ran from the Botanic Gardens in the City, across the Goodwill Bridge and along the Brisbane River. From there, it was up and over the Story Bridge, and back along the other side of the river into the city again. As you can imagine, with so many people all trying to run/jog/walk the path, it was quite a stretch to get any real pace up, which suited me fine.
The whole family has had an active week this week which is good. Aidan recently did his own fun run. Ethan has been doing AusKick and Taekwondo. Anth is playing Netball. Even Callum is coming out to the park with us to do his own stuntwork. The only one who isn't really getting out and about is Wednesday, but that's mainly because of arthritis kicking in. Maybe this fitness thing can make a difference. If only the dreamy donuts didn't call. *sigh*
Ciao for Now, MMMMMmmmmm Donuts Angry Dad.

Good for you Angry Dad! That's great that the whole family, except Wednesday, is so active. We're just your typical fat American family. *sigh*
