New hemisphere-new plan...

This was the view this morning as I did my first (jet-lag recovery) run in New Zealand! (sorry about the sideways presentation) My route looked out over my daughter and son-in law's farm to the snow-topped Kaweka range. I was worried the transition to winter running might be tricky but it was a glorious crisp morning and much more fun than running in the sticky heat of the last few days in England. I have a plan which involves doing a 5K trail race with my daughter in three weeks time. Will post details of my progress or lack thereof..

Well I for one am VERY jealous.

Both of this view and the thought of running around somewhere with lovely cool air rather than this stuffy, airless little island. Enjoy TT :)
