RunClub makes the Paper.

Despite missing out on GC, we had a great 30hrs! in Tasmania. One of our many nephews was getting married and it was a great chance to catch up with far flung family. We only got 4 hours sleep on the friday night before heading to the airport for a very early flight Saturday morning.

We were keen to see if the article on 'RunClub' was in this Saturday's herald so we bought it at the airport. It was in the Spectrum section and despite some hideously incorrect statements on form like 'neck and back straight' and an 800m?? track, the last paragraph sums runclub up. It's testing but fun. We certainly have learnt so much and we really enjoy Tim's easy going but determined style. We've also made new friends and now we go to races and actually know people :-).

As for the rest of the weekend, it was busy but fun. We checked out Salamanca markets in Hobart before having lunch and then headed to the wedding. As expected, everyone looked gorgeous and the whole event went extremely well. (apart from the swans one point loss ;-(. We were very tired bunnies that night and slept 10 hours straight. Gnome and I managed to go out for an hour's run about 10am and just kept heading up and down hills around Kingston until we found a creek to run beside for about 20 mins.We did 9-10ks with a couple of 1k slight pickups. What really made the run interesting was the variety of houses in this obviously newer suburb. The local architects had had a field day with both design and colour.

Lunch was a bar-b-q followed by a game of cricket and a kick of the footy. Good family stuff!! and then it was time to fly home and catch up on all the GC/Striders stories. Sounds like everyone enjoyed their races and weekend . Thanks for sharing your stories with us and congratulations to all. I believe the cheer squad spun their magic again and added that much needed boost to CRs.
