Running with my boy

4 September 2016


My son, Joel, agreed to do a 10k fun run with me for Fathers Day - the inaugural YMCA Fathers Day Fun Run. 


A cool morning but sunny and not too many people running the 10k, so all very pleasant conditions. 

We ran shoulder to shoulder the whole way - two loops of the Tan Track through the Alexandra Gardens - at a relaxed pace, chatting about sport and other stuff as we ambled along. 


Then we picked up the pace in the last couple of kilometres, picking off other slower struggling runners as we dashed past on the way to the finish. Crossed the finish line together, in exactly the same time, 53:50.80. No PR but that wasn't the goal - just enjoyed being out on a run with my boy!! 


And to finish off a great morning, we enjoyed a post run "breakkie of champions" on Southbank. 


Really enjoyed this run - thanks very much Joelly-boy. You are a great mate! Wish I could have done something like this with my Dad.....
