Today I ran the Sydney Harbour Bridge Run, my first 9km race! I have done 5ks and 10ks but never a 9km, so needless to say I got a personal best! :) The weather was glorious, blue skies, barely a cloud and sunny! Lovely..... There were 4 races going on at roughly the same time, a half marathon, full marathon, the 9km and a family fun walk. There were so many walkers on the course that it ended up being more of an obstacle course then an all out run, which made it much more interesting.
I was in it more for the scenery and the wonder of running over the Sydney Harbour bridge. We ran through the Botannic gardens and ended at the Opera House---it was incredible to be stretching at the end looking out into the bay!! Really really amazing.
What a beautiful place this is! A few days ago I went for my first bushwalk! A hike in English terms. the weather was again beautiful and we bushwaled from Spit Bridge to Manly beach --sparkling blue/green water, soft sand, rocky cliffs, aboriginal etchings and great company, I seriously couldn't ask for anything more!!
Tomorrow we leave bright and early 4:10 am shuttle for the airport where the next leg of our adventure will begin. We are heading to the Outback, up north to Ayers Rock. If you have ever seen a picture of a big red rock in Australia--that is Ayers rock. So, our blogging might stop for a few days depending on computer access.
Jocelyn asked me to say hi to all of her fans as she isn't engaging in computer time. She is alive and well and having a fabulous time.
Thanks to everyone for their comments, they are great and make us laugh!!
We will also try to post pictures soon.

Great achievement, your best 9K. Once again, a family record that you are likely to keep in perpetuity. We continue to be most proud of you. Have fun at Uluru (Ayers Rock). Did Kris find that chicken yet?
