memories and creations

A weekend in Maryborough with Nan & Grandad was the perfect opportunity for another Parkrun touristing location...in Hervey Bay.

The sunrise was worth the 30 min drive but the out and back course along the coast was nice too :)

We were up super early this morning to head to the start line for the 42km Marathon.

We saw Karen off and headed south to Nobby Beach where the marathon runners turn around at the 18km mark to head north again. But first breakfast at For Real Kitchen...we needed energy for our cheer squad duties!

K was doing well, running with the 6 hour pacers.

From the balcony of our apartment we could see the 35km mark, we left the car and walked back to find K at the 33km point. She was doing well, still on track to finish around the 6 hours. I walked with her for a couple of kms and then checked in with her again at the 38km before jumping in the car to drive to the finish line.

She finished in an awesome time of 6hr 12min!!

It was a great weekend away cheering on our crazy friend...so proud of her 💗

We booked a couple of nights on the gold Coast for Karen to run the GC Marathon.

A stop for coffee at TMB Hope Island on the way down had Barista Jake serving us and making our coffees :) 

We had an apartment at our go-to apartment at Biggera Waters,

and Wayne made use of the (heated) pool and spa.

We headed up to Paradise Point for dinner and found a new favourite, Millie Weirs Fish & Chippery. We all ended up having burgers and they were delish!

Karen arrived this week for the Gold Coast Marathon so Parkrun this morning was a nice steady run.

Our end of month catch up was a birthday outing for Sam's 40th back in February. The girls all gifted Sam a Jewellery Making workshop and we all joined her to make some earrings.

After 6 weeks on the sidelines finally back to rack up Parkrun 130.  It was a steady walk and talk but we had lots of catch up on.
