Runs and travel

So it has been a busy couple of days and being away from my laptop so a little hard to keep up with blogging. The next few days posts will be brought to you from iPad/iPhone blogging! 

Thursday started off well enough with a delicious breakfast eating the last of what was in the fridge before heading away. 


I then got a bunch of work done before heading out for a big run around North Sydney, setting a new pace record of 7'06/km! 




It was an 8km run according to strava, then a few stretches took me to the full hour. This is where things went downhill. I lost track of time in a bad way and ended up racing to the airport in an absolute mess. I made it in time, but I still feel quite anxious just thinking about it. I am never late to the airport! That is why I prefer morning flights, no time to get delayed! 

Anyway, we then headed up to the Gold Coast and Friday morning was a beautiful long walk along the beach; 



A quite decent 2 hour walk to start the day but boy oh boy did I pay for it. I had 2 very large blisters on my second toe that were actually extending out sideways to the other two toes. It made our walk down to lunch a little tricky... Although the view from lunch alleviated some of my pain.


The lunch at the surf club was also delicious! A calamari salad with a dressing that would really make any salad a winner, a mix between honey and sweet chili sauce. I will be trying my best to make some when I get home that's for sure.


We then had a bit of a relaxing afternoon in our apartment and I finished my book on the kindle before we walked up for a great Italian dinner (that I forgot to photograph) and my annual cold rock icecream - cake batter and sprinkles all the way. Great first day of holidays if you ask me.
