Coral Sea Commemorations: Newstead Park
Yesterday on my run I came across a bunch of Navy officers in Newstead Park.
I couldn't help myself, I had to ask what the gathering was for.

Worldwide Festival of Races: the Zen 10
The Worldwide Festival of Races was here. Time to run with Speedy Reidy once again! Well, virtually, anyway.
I joined the Speedy Reidy Runners a couple of months ago when the challenge was first issued by Speedy. I needed something to aim for and given that you could choose to run anything between 5k and a marathon, aiming for the Zen 10K was achievable, while still being a challenge.
My goal was to run no slower than 7.5 minute Kms, but also given that it was a virtual run with Speedy, to also capture the experience for her and show off Brisbane to the world.

Blown away
The wind on Saturday was overwhelming. So much so that I bailed after just a few Ks, running back to my car with my tail between my legs. I don't think I've ever felt like I would be blown off my feet before, but this weekend, it happened.
I'd run from Kingsford Smith Drive along past Newstead Park and into Teneriffe. When I turned back I knew the morning was a write off. I decided to stop along the way and smell the roses, so to speak. It's in doing this that I was truly blown away.
