An Early Morning Walk

I used to do a bit of running before we came to Australia but I haven't done much for 2 or 3 years. So it was with much trepidation that I decided to join the Twin Towns Services Club for their Sunday morning walk/run.

A very big downside of this was having to get up at 4.45am!!!! When the alarm went off I felt like I'd had 20 minutes sleep. I managed it though even though it was still dark and the Kookaburras were laughing merrily as I started the car up.

I was welcomed very warmly by all and I decided that I should start off walking until I get some fitness back, so off we set at 6am along Currumbin Valley.

The scenery was breathtaking and I've inserted a slide show with some of the local kangaroos. One of them looked like he wanted to box my ears in when I got too close to take his photo! He stood up and banged his tail on the ground. Didn't take me long to get the photo!

Afterwards we went to one of the members homes in the Echo Village and had a lovely bbq breakfast.

I got home at 9am feeling like it should be lunchtime! It had started heating up by then so I can understand why the walk was planned for so early in the day. I wouldn't have managed it when the temperature reached 30.

A very enjoyable morning was had by all.

I'll probably be in bed for 7pm tonight!
