Save the Children Race

Five kilometers up an unsealed road and another one kilometer up a driveway that was so steep it was 4wheel drive only, was where we lived. Some of us thought that it would be fun to try and run on this road... everyday. After a few months of this masochism we returned to civilization to test out our legs on paved roads... and raise money for "Save the Children."

We covered a number of different races. Sarah and Alyssa competed in the 5k walk. Rob, Tim, and Kat ran the 5k. Laura, Shawn, and Steve took part in the 10k... and I ran the half marathon.

Laura waves to her adoring fans in Thames.

Rob came out to give me some support in my final few kms.
Greatly Appreciated!!!

Laura ended up winning the womens 10k in a time of 49:55... just breaking the 50 minute mark. And I shaved 8 minutes off my last half marathon with a time of 1:40:00, finishing second in my categorey and 5th overall. We were both moderately pleased... ok it was Awesome!
