Arriving in the city at 8am yesterday morning for this years City to Surf run/walk, the first time for three years. With the help of knee guards, pain killers and dogged determination :) we walked the 12k in a more than respectable time! The tortoise and the hare analogy couldn't have been more appropriate, keeping a steady pace soon had us passing the speedy hare's that were running out of puff 😉 Above and below heading up to the start line on St Georges Terrace..
Along the way..
The gorgeous dog below was there at the half way mark, spread out at the side of the road blatantly waiting for tummy rubs, of which he got many, from passing walkers.. he was adorable and it was very kind of his owner to share it's doggy restorative powers 💛
The prettiest section of the walk through Perry Lakes Reserve
onto Oceanic Drive and..
... the last leg of the walk before arriving at City Beach. I haven't been so happy to see the Indian Ocean since the last time I did this walk :) For every down you walk there is a hill to climb, that's what makes this a challenge, I don't mind saying I was pretty chuffed with myself :) Happy Monday, take care and stay safe...
Very brave of you to do the walk Grace! Hope your knees took it well.

ReplyDeleteI kept looking for you in the background in tv footage of Ms Bishop competing in the run. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun walk, Grace. Glad you were able to make it.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite long hike..I am afraid that I would be on my back like the dog...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Well done Grace. A great accomplishment! You’re back!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I remember when I first started walking, it was an 8.5k walking event with a friend but I look back now and know it started me off on my love of walking.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrific Grace. I'm glad that happy pooch along he way shared his restorative powers.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! It sounds like quite an event and an even bigger accomplishment.
