We all crossed the line with no injuries and big smiles on our faces! It was an overcast day, but excellent running weather. The lovely ladies of Team Miroma, Roni, Kim, Joy and the man all arrived safe and sound after crossing the Harbour Bridge and not falling over any of the other thousands of runners. Many people were running for many causes and it made you feel part of the good humanity can do for one another. We saw a blind person, being led by a sighted volunteer, do the 9km run. Inspiring!
Joy had never run 9km before and with the man, ran all the way with a steady pace. Well done, you should be proud of yourself! Kim and Roni ran like the wind, with only one toilet stop amongst them. I am not telling who needed it. Great running! These ladies took time out from their work, family and study commitments to train and do the run. I am blown away by this. James if he could talk (and one day we hope he will!) says “thanks heaps – you are legends”.
I am also blown away by the increased awareness of adults with disabilities and the amount of donations we have received. It’s been humbling and an emotional ride for the last couple of weeks. We did very well considering that we were all sick July and part of August. It’s a credit to everyone that it all came together.
As usual the post run breakfast/lunch/multiple coffees helped us recover together with the post run entertainment!
