MY 47th PARKRUN

6 January 2018:  We arrived home last night from our awesome trip to New Zealand ... We were delayed for a frustrating 3 hours in Sydney ~  firstly we started boarding half an hour late ~ Seems like the norm with Qantas ~ We have flown with them 9 times and EVERY flight has been late.  I was so exhausted as I did not sleep on Thursday night as Nats and I had a lot to chat about ... so I kinda passed out once we got to our seats.  When I woke up we were on our way back to the terminal as there was a passenger with a medical emergency. Then their luggage had to be found and as we were sitting on the ground for so long they had the refuel the plane ~ There were problems with that and then they overfilled the tanks and the fuel started to run out of the one wing ... OMGoodness!!!!  The plane was sooooooo hot and eventually they started to serve us some water.  There was a baby across from us and his Dad was feeding him ice chips to keep him cool.

When we got home we started to unpack and I only got to bed at midnight as just as I got into bed my precious Taryn called me ... it was her birthday so we chatted for a bit.

I was surprised when I woke up at 05h15 this morning and decided that I would do my first ParkRun (walk for me) of the year ~ This was my 47th so I will be able to get my 50 t-shirt next month!!!!!  So I was out the door at 07h30 and was shocked at how many people were at the start.

I hurt my foot on New Years Day while walking in the Waitakere Ranges and I battled a bit but much to my surprise I did a really good time ...
