13th session

We did about 2.5km today, at Parrs park.

700m laps x3 and from/to the car. took us about 1.5hours.

There is a Marae there. Today was our first time to see the Marae open and see many children participating activities there.

The vehicle traffic was quite busy inside the park. But it did not affect us too much because Morgaina's steering is much better now.

The best of today is,

there was a lady who talked to us.

"Hi, I saw you practicing before Christmas. You are doing better now"

"really?"

"Oh yes. Much better"

How nice of her to let us know this!!

This conversation made our day.

Despite, today's training was hard.

Heat is our enemy. It was very tiring for Morgaina to keep on.

Also, probably the boringness of doing laps.. Actual event will be much easier in this regard.

And, snack. We had grapes as snack, but many of them were getting brown and Morgaina did not eat much of them. Later on when I offered other stuff, she ate a lot, and I realised that she was actually hungry.

Drink bottle from K-mart worked well. Morgaina handled the bottle well to hydrate herself. But the sparkling water ran out at 2km, which is one of the reasons we gave up then.

Event is coming soon. I started to make a list of things to bring. bottles of sparkling water including spare, is one of the list.

I wish for the calm, rather cloudy weather, but that is out of our control..
