We woke early on Sunday to a glorious spring morning with the birds in full song, blue sky, no wind but a slight chill in the air. A perfect day for running and walking. We knew it was going to be a great day and even the very late running train and trams could not put a damper on our high. We were thinking and breathing Tom.
29,722 people entered the City to Bay run and you could feel the energy around you. Tom’s mate ‘Bob’ continued his Australian tour and several others who had only met Tom once or not at all were ‘Doing it for Tom’. When I started to think “This hurts and why is it called a fun run?” It was thinking of and breathing Tom that gave me the strength to pick up my pace and enjoy the atmosphere.
We rounded off the morning with a picnic in the sun by the sea, surrounded by friends and family all sending love and strength across the ocean to Tom, Sal and the girls.
What a fantastic day!

Tom you must have friends in high places! There certainly was a greater force at work here as Monday’s weather bought cold, severe winds, dust storms, hail and thunder storms (not that common here) with localised flooding. The rest of this weeks forecast is also pretty gloomy.

Well done Adelaide and McAdams!
Love the pics especially the ones of the picnic as (I think) we strolled along that prom a few years ago when in town for your wedding, Ross and Sooz! Great memories (Grant has physical evidence too)………..
