Fun running in the name of MS

Last Sunday at the ungodly hour of 7am, our little fun running team of 6 headed across that famous bridge here in Sydney, to run a "challenging" 8km's around the Nth Shore. Thankfully it was an abolutely stunning day, although still a bit chilly that time of the morning!

The run was all about raising awareness and funds for MS. A friend's brother lives with MS, so it was only fitting that we did our bit to help out. We aimed to raise around $500 and ended up with a whopping $1400! So a HUGE thanks to everyone who sponsored us and made more than generous donations.

We all finished the hilly 8km's, although we did drop the pace to a power walk here and there for some of those hills! The route was beautiful and varied....along the harbour, through bush and reserve, road running and more than a few stairs thrown in for good measure.

To celebrate our successful morning run, it was off to Maroubra to a great little beachside cafe to indulge in bacon, eggs, toast, fresh juices and some strong coffee. Not a bad way to spend a lurvely Sunday morning after all.
