Flashback Friday

Another Friday had rolled around and I have dug back into my photo archives. This photo is from senior year at high school....actually it is from Schoolies Week i.e. the week we spent on Great Keppel Island!!

Chris (Bowza), Lauren (Lozza), Me and Sam(Samboss)

It was such a fun week. Some things have (mercifully) been blocked from my memory but it was a really great week.

It's weird looking back through all my old photos. That is the beauty of Flashback Friday. It makes us remember the times that have passed and give us the chance to look back and smile...or cringe as I did when I saw myself in that photo!

I see red!

If you didn't see it on the news, NSW is experiencing a major dust storm at the moment. It is the first one to ever hit a major Australian city.

It was very creepy to wake up to a brilliant orange/red sky. The colour is due to the red dust being blown in from the west/central NSW. It goes all the way from Wooloongong to Newcastle and is being reported to hit parts of South East Queensland!

Some of Sydney's most famous landmarks are blotted out by the dust.

Luckily we got to do the bridge run before this storm hit or it would have made things very difficult!

Run...run...as fast as you can!

I did it!! I finished the Sydney Monring Hearld body+soul Bridge Run on Sunday. It was 9 kms and we (me and J) finished it in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

I was really worried that I wouldn't complete it in time but I did and am very very proud of myself.

For some people 9kms might not be a very big deal (there were some crazy people who did the Marathon - 42kms!) but for me it was a pretty big deal!

It is all because of Harriott that I even considered it in the first place. Running really isn't my thing but I am glad I did it.

The Gang

There were so many people there on the day! It was quite an impressive sight!

Sydney Harbour and all the people.

It was a pretty warm day and the humidity got to about 66%!

It turned out to not be as bad as I thought but I probably wouldn't do it again in a hurry!!!

I'll guess I will always have my very special medal to commemmorate what I achieved!!

Flashback Friday!

I have never participated in Flashback Friday so I thought I would give it a try.

This photo is from skip trip senior year ( July(??) 2003)

9kms....!!!

I can't believe I agreed to do the Sunday Telegraph body+soul Bridge Run!! I am expected to run 9 kilometers and it's in just 4 days!! Didn't quite think this one through!!! Wish me luck....
