Hello my lovelies, its been quite a while since I have bored you with medal obsession so today is the day, I am sorry to say, I do it again.
Competed in the 5.7km event at The Gold Coast Airport Marathon on July 1st aka GCAM17. Happy to say I ran the entire way & completed it in 43.19 minutes.
Not only was I VERY happy to get me another Medal for my collection but it was a beautiful weekend away with a bunch of other Highlands parkrunners competing in the 5.7km event like me or the 1/2 marathon or even the full marathon. My son, Matty, competed in the 1/2 & finished @ 2 hours 5 mins, with no training other than his 5km parkrun each week, oh whats its like to be 27!!!! Everyone of us finished our events, no injuries, no pull outs & had a great weekend away in QLD.
So here it is the inevitable photo... yes I am way proud of myself!!

You are an inspiration @Cate64. Next GCAM we should organise a cheer squad of all our GC members!
I just got my first Fitbit yesterday so am having fun tracking my steps. I work in a bank but I am up and down helping clients and have walked 4.3km so far today!0 -
@Hopes_and_Dreams I am good with that, I will compete in either the 5.7km or the 10km next year, depending on how well I am faring then. But this year I was part of the Cheer Squad for all our parkrunners competeing in the 1/2 & full marathons... So much fun though I beleive we all walked a marathon flipping between check points to cheer them on as they passed.... LOL we had Lara with her iPad tracking them to let us know who was where & which check point we should be at............ & the atmosphere is electric, love it PLUS you cant beat the Queensland winter weather
Its amazing how many km's you rack up just walking around doing day to day things like work:)1 -
Fantastic. My sister did the 5.7kms in honor of my Mum and Dad who usually do it but couldn't this year as they've been unwell. She also did the full marathon as a pacer for a runner from PNG. She's with the salvo striders. Well done you and love all your medals.
