8 Weeks Until City to Surf!

So as most of you know.. I am not a runner. Before March I could barely run 1K without needing a break...despite that I signed up for City to Surf and committed to a 14k run from Sydney CBD (Central Business District or "Downtown") to Bondi Beach.  For me, this race is about completion not time - I figure that I can work on time eventually but for my first major run I want to make sure I complete it without stopping/walking.

So I put together a plan with my run date in mind and have been chipping away at it slowly! Its not been an easy as the weather gets cooler & rainier in sydney and that initial motivation just isn't there but I can honestly say it's getting easier.

So 2 months later... I am up to my half way mark! Today I ran just over 7k and I couldn't be more thrilled! And to be completely honest.. everything after 4k just feel good so I guess I am on the right track!

Any who.. with 8 weeks to go and a mega trip to canada planned in July for my sister's wedding -- I hope that I can stay committed and keep up the training so that I can reach my goal!

Vivid - Festival of Lights

Earlier this month Vivid was on in Sydney. Vivid is a series of light projections all around the city. Seemed like everyone with a camera and tripod was out enjoying the visuals. Check out their site for more info and loads of fantastic pics.


Below are some of the pics we snapped during our night out:
