bright dark and early yesterday morning, we piled into the car and set off to Sydney Olympic Park for our first Run4Fun event – all in the name of Team Jovie! neither Regan, the kids or myself had ever been in some sort of running event, but they added a 3km fun run/walk this year and I couldn’t resist the chance to 1. exercise, 2. fundraise for Rett Syndrome and 3. do something different.
our walk started at 7am, and we had a great time walking (briskly) the course with our friends around us. Jovie LOVED it, she loves being outdoors, even in a stroller.
Jasper actually had a great time and jogged/ran alot of the way around the 3km course with Regan. I think we have a future runner in the family…. They beat us by about 10 mins, lol.
a sea of amazing people running the 10km
Jogging to the finish line with Aunty Aislin, we’re up on the big screen at ANZ Stadium!
Afterwards we headed off to the amazing Blaxland Riverside Park for some breakfast and a play – if you’re in Sydney you should definately check it out. Get there early because parking is terrible…
We’ve raised $2,245 for Rett Syndrome Research in Australia which is AWESOME (and coincidentally, we would of been the 3rd highest fundraisers for the Run4Fun if they included Rett Syndrome Australia in their list).
Now it’s the next day and we’re totally buggered, thank goodness we had a day off! I think we’ll definately do the run again next year, so stay tuned for that!
