Park Run

 

Main Beach Gold Coast Park Run. More of a walk than a run as we are just getting back into it. Also trying to teach Mags how to not pull on the leash and to run on my left. By the end Mags was just a little tired.

We were Exhausted

Me tried to create a "before" happy pic but this was after the "run"

Mags was exhausted

 

 

Then up the spit to the off lead area so mags can have a run and a swim. I really like this place as it's the only place with off lead and flags so you can have kids and dogs, who naturally go together, swimming in a safish environment.

12:10 midnight depart

WATER AND FOOD

We took too little of both. 

2L each for Frank, Fletch and Phoebe. Then after getting to the car park, we shared 1L and then at Aratula, I downed another 1.2L.

That's 3.5L for me. 

I think in future, I should budget 500ml per hr of the whole trip including lunch breaks plus 1L per person back at the car.

In this case, 6hr walk, I would have had to take 3L for me. 

Frozen 500ml bottles works well. 

FOOD

We only took (for 8 people)

Hard boiled eggs,

Muslie bars,

Bananas x 4

Apples x 4

Rum raisin chocolate 

And Tim tams.

Didn't realise how long the walk would take. 

Should have added just for me

2 sandwiches.

Next time irrespective of the estimated length, add those sandwiches

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frank, Phoebe, Fletch, Chris, Jemma, Amy, Zac, Dan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Park Run

 Saturday 21-12-2024

7:00 AM park run.  This was mostly a walk.

First looking at an atlas to consider the pre Marcus & Sophie wedding.  Spending two or three weeks just touring Turkey is sounding like the go.  

Bought Christmas ham.

Washed Magnus as she is scratching a lot.  Used medicated shampoo but this has made no difference.

tue10 Dec LOW

Feeling a bit low. 

No logic to it. 

BGRC AGM

Got an award from BGRC for services to rowing. 

Bit of a software challenge at work. 

Nice row in a 4 this morning with cooky, 7 and crafty.

Lovely coffee with Phoebe this morning. 

Weekend was lovely with Phoebe 

So not sure why I'm feeling low. 

Often wonder why I get feeling flow. 

I wonder about others who always seem to have it together. 

 

I ponder why marriages fail.  why emotions go the way they do.  

communication.  feelings. 

forgiveness

how does one go from love through some kind of steady as she goes 

how do you get it back into some kind of love thing. passion. dates. 

Sat7 Sun8

SATURDAY 7

5:30 Drove down the GC to take Mags to the off lead beach.

Breakfast in the form of a croissant Benny.

11:30 home.

Chris modding his Nissan. Heavy duty suspension. 

Over to Phoebe's and Fletch and I moved the washing machine upstairs and onto her verandah. 

6:30 Ben and Rachel's Christmas dinner. Beautiful but very rich food. 

Interesting they have a 16? Yo black cat with similar mannerisms to Oreo in that he liked to just be near the action and when we moved,  he'd move shortly after.

SUNDAY 8

A bit of a sleep in so no erg.

7am coaching. 

Dropped into Mt O.

Bought some shirts.

Poor mags had to stay in the car. 

Over to DFO. 

Phoebe went in to look for socks as presents for her gym coaches. I got Mags out and we ran across the carport so she wouldn't burn her feet. 

Snooze

2:30 collected Phoebe

3:00 Phoebe's gym Christmas party at the Normanby.
