K’s first Park Run and a treat of Cats

Early start as up at 6am to drive to Dunedin for K’s first park run and the first run for both of us in about a year!!
We arrived at the Dunedin Botanical Gardens in plenty of time to join about 200 other runners for an undulating 5kms run/walk- (it almost took longer to find our running gear!)
The weather was overcast but dry and despite the locals commenting on how “hot “ it was, it was perfect temperature.
The run actually involved quite a steep moderate hill and several other undulations which killed the legs and unfit lungs but we both finished in 1 piece which was the goal of today.
We had to go for a coffee in Perc in our leisure wear as we both couldn’t stop sweating!! After a quick toilet change into decent clothes it was off around Dunedin for a look for some replacement travel items.
I then left K to go to Bunnings unsupervised (always a danger) whilst I went to a pole open day at “Vals pole”- resulting in a half price voucher for my first proper class whilst K returned with a compost bin, oil and other things on the list.
It was now 2pm and we were both starving so we had Chinese for lunch to celebrate Chinese New Year before walking all the way back up Stuart st to pick the truck up - it was a killer!
Next it was off to Countdown for groceries before K’s treat of the day for running this am- a cinema visit to see Cats!!! She was in heaven and was singing the words to all of the songs during the film ( no it wasn’t a sing along!!)
Back home at 6.30pm we r both totally knackered and r both stiffening up so we can’t move however K is putting together what looks like her “ naughty corner box” aka a composter.
We have run/ walked 15kms today so not sure our “ rest “ day had that much rest!
