24k

I was proud of myself today.   In preparation for the Shine Marathon me and my two friends, Rachel and Vinny met at 6am to walk 20k.  We grabbed a coffee and then set of for 12k, looping back to pick up Rachel's dog, get a second coffee and croissant and then did another 12k.  It took about 4.5 hours.  I needed to prove to myself I could do it, and we did! It was lovely walking weather and lovely to chat.

At one point we were walking through Shephards Meadow and came across a LOT of cows!  It was a bit scary as they were right across the path.  We think one was a bull as it had horns, unless cows can also grown horns. I don't know.  Anyway, we were brave and calmly waked through them.

We had planned to go camping together this weekend but had all agreed to cancel and instead just have a day together so we met back up with the kids and partners at our local lake to kayak and paddleboard.  I kayaked as wasn't sure my legs would be up to balancing on a paddle board.  It was good fun and the children basically spent an hour jumping off the boards into the lake.  We all went home for quick showers then back to Vinny's for a BBQ.  Her husband Carl is a chef so it was amazing food.  Such a lovely day with friends. 

Edit.  I've added two extras of the one with small horns, I didn't think to look for udders in our panic!  I can't see udders but also can't the other...haha
