2019: a year of running experiences

Amazing start to the last day of 2018 – taking a run at daybreak with my new extended family from Canada, Julia and Nicko!

Following on from my Happy New Year blog listing all my proposed challenges and my ‘Bucket List of Experiences for 2019’, there will be a lot of running pics due to health and fitness being an important part of my life, and that I am now in training for the Hapalua Half Marathon in April.

With that in mind, I thought I’d start the ‘running experience’ side of things by sharing a few pics from the last run I did in 2018.  It was 8.30am on New Year’s Eve in the Sahara Desert. It was about six degrees Celsius when five of us headed out with layers and gloves to do something none of us ever imagined doing.  Talking as we strode, we warmed up quickly repeating to ourselves and each other, ‘We are in the Sahara Desert!!!’ No amount of exclamation marks can do that phrase justice.

Mike and Mark ended up running faster and further than J, N and myself…
