Mother and Son Date Night

Soooooooo exciting... tonight, I am taking Cammy on a date :) 

 

This is currently Cammy's favourite movie, so after much discussion between Ian and myself, and alot of hmming and harrrring we decided that he would LOVE the show, and we would regret it ourselves if one of us didn't take him {just like we regret not taking him to Walking with Dinosaurs}... so I went online this morning, found the cheapest tickets, and booked us in for tonight's show

The next challenge

After completing the half a half on Sunday and feeling so super-duper good about it, me and my mate have entered into another great event to be held on 1st July 2012

The XTERRA Auckland series - Woodhill forest walk

We will do the mid course which is 14.1kms of off road terrain... should be awesome

Half a Half

today I walked half a half - for those that are unsure, that is 10.5kms {half of a half marathon}.

I entered for this walk in december and have been walking a couple of times a week since {usually with either the single or double buggy}.  I have NEVER actually walked 10.5kms before though {8.3kms was my previous max}

So after a night of no sleep {thanks Axel for waking every hour} I crept out of bed at 5.30am and left the house at 6am.  Picked my mate up at 6.30am and we were in Orewa by 7am for a 8.20am start {yeah there is no traffic that early in the morning lol}

Anyway, we walked this walk... and it was awesome! part on the beach, part on a track, part on the road, lots of uphills, and just as many downhills, with the right amount of flat walking thrown in there also.

The best part... we completed it... and we weren't last {in fact we were middle of the pack}... and we did it 1hr 50mins

Next we plan on running the half a half, and in 2014 we plan to run the half :)
