Donhead Fun Run 2013

Donhead has a Fun Run every year, usually held in March, but because of snow it was postponed to May this year.  Nicholas surprised us last year (2012) by insisting on doing 5km, so the decision was simple this time, it had to be 5km again.  His time improved from 47.20min to 32.45min which gives an idea how his strength and fitness have improved over the last year.  He definitely wasn't as wiped out as he was last year and Dad says they hardly walked at all.  Glad my big boy is as fit as a fiddle!

We didn't enter Danny because we thought he was still too small, but to be honest, he probably could have done the 2.5km run.  The plan was that he and I would do a short section and then take photos.  I spent most of the time trying to keep up with him as he charged towards Isla's house, close to the half way point for 2.5km, and then chased after him as he raced after Nicholas and Dad on the way back.  I am definitely not as fit as my little boy!
