Park Run 3, PB’s 2, Pole lesson 1

What a fabulously productive day?!
When up at 6am it was noticeably darker and cooler than a couple of weeks ago.
By the time we started the Park Run at the Botanical Gardens the sun was starting to come out. Another good run with 232 runners/ walkers turning out this am.
By 9.30am we had parked the truck and were ordering our breakfast in Perc.
Dunedin was buzzing with a great market situated around the Octagon with food, live music and stalls selling everything from vintage furs to organic soaps.
After breakfast ( and learning we had both got a PB this am- small improvements- I think I just walked up the hill faster!), it was off to Specsavers for K. New lenses needed but K is to use her “ old frames” - basically Brand new ones she has never worn since getting them in Cairns nearly 4 yrs ago!!!
The rest of the day saw us drop more stuff at the charity shop, before heading to St Clair for a coffee as it was such a beautiful day, grocery shopping in PaknSave ( god help us) before K dropped me off for my first Dunedin pole lesson!
To cut a long story short I left 1.5hrs later exhausted and in pain.... loved every minute, nailed old moves and learnt a new one.... who named it “ lady garden”??!!!🤣🤣 I could hardly climb into the truck.
Back home by 6.30pm it was down to Mary’s with a meal of lamb and salad and Mary cooked delicious potatoes and desert of plums and blueberries- yum.
We ate whilst watching K’s Bhutan photos/ they were great and really showed the colours of the country.
Now watching the Hurricanes vs Sharks- all in all a v good day.Read more
