A very late post here seeing as Run for the Kids was back in March but better late than never! This year we had a new recruit with the veteran team member Sam Couper bringing along her friend Kerri. Lucy and Jack also had their very own numbers for the first time this year and all of us did the 14.38 kms. Here's the gang on the beautiful sunny Melbourne morning.
And we had the Team Jack picture on our backs as we did last year.
I pushed Lucy in her pram with some excellent tag teaming on the pushing from Sam and Kerri - thank goodness!! What was I thinking doing 14kms!!! But occasionally, Lucy decided to do a little running herself. See action shot below.
Kerri, Sam and I at the start line - feeling very nervous at this stage, can I even make the distance?!
Craig, Lucy and Jack at the start line, Jack did not really enjoy having to wait for the race to get underway but generally enjoyed the run. Craig has been doing lots of training and was looking forward to a good race.
And Miss Lucy on the train, very excited to be in Team Jack however is wondering when is there going to be Team Lucy???
Was a great day, in case you were wondering I did make the distance - in a very long 2 hours and 22 mins ... not too bad for someone who didn't do one training session I guess!! Craig didn't do quite the time he was hoping to but a fantastic effort seeing as I now have a new appreciation for how hard it is to run pushing a pram!!! And he didn't have anyone to give him a rest like I did!Looking forward to next year as it's always a fun day and something very close to our hearts with the Royal Childrens Hospital being a regular haunt for this little family.
