Rain, Rain, go away...& Sydney 8km+-

Was woken around 4.30am to rain.... and lots of it. hopefully it stops as i can't wait to read all the puffing billy reports! I also have a close friend running it, but i am tipping that he will change his mind due to the down pour.
Good luck to all of you!

I'll be back Monday night. Then Tues is appt with surgeon.

(Added later) - Well, he did end up doing the run and getting extremely muddy at the same time. Time was around 62mins. Well done M. Also, well done to all the other Ausrunners who competed. Loved reading all your stories. And from some, even hearing about every moment throughout the race too! ;-)

Well a couple of hours after having Japanese for lunch in Sydney, i set off for a run around 5pm. Left Ultimo and then headed north through, Haymarket, Hyde Park, Royal Botanic Gardens (Ran up the stairs of the Opera House and had a very overwhelming 'Isn't it great to be alive'feeling) then headed back. There were people everywhere and plenty of weddings too. Even got to watch some break dancers!
I ran for approx 70mins but a lot of it was stopping due to traffic and lights etc.
Today was one of my most enjoyable runs. And like i have recently told some friends.... i enjoyed it not for the fact that it is a great form of exercise, but because it is such a great experience. Wow, i just can't find the words to explain it. Basically i am really glad i started running a year ago!
Map is for those of you who aren't familliar with Sydney. I started from bottom left hand corner and headed north basically. (Pink texta)
Other pic is of Hyde Park. Magnificent!
