Run Melbourne 2013 - Sunday 21st July

As the weather forecast predicted an overnight low of 3 degrees and possible hail for Sunday, I was having second thoughts about running. However, I was committed to completing the event that so many people have sponsored me in. The morning was cold, clear and windy so I was thankful that David was there to support me and hold my warm down jacket when I had to remove it. I ran in gloves for the first 3-4 km. The sun shone through and we had a great run. Our team raised almost $20000 for Monash Chidlren's. Thanks to all my sponsors, my total is sitting at $2030 tonight.

Sabine and I chatted throughout the race and were surprised when we found ourselves at the 9km mark - it had gone so quickly. We sped up for the final km and crossed the line in 57:54.
