Wow!! Gorgeous weather or what??????

27c today....just GORGEOUS!!!!! Perfect day for the zoo...and we found a lovely picnic table under the trees for our picnic lunch....overlooking the zebras......and the train drove past now and then much to Samd sheer delight!

Its supposed to rain this weekend but looks like it will be a few rainy days before more good weather.....

The air conditioning is on right now and I am loving it.......well worth freezing our butts off in January for the day when they fitted it!!!

Running program...day 3

My running program is going well...most of the first week or two are centred around walking....with a little running thrown in...I am enjoying having my running journal to fill in each night...it motivates me as I WANT to have something to write in.

Monday I hiked 10km - most of which I did carrying a sleeping 2 year old! Yesterday was a rest day (although I was active all day) Today I walked around the zoo all day and then tonight after dinner (at Joeys Global Grill which was delicious as always) Dan and I went for a walk/ run....alternating the two....and really pushed the speed more than we are supposed to this first week - because we saw a deer and ran after it (lol)

I am going to have a rest day Friday or Saturday depending on which day gets rain.....and so tomorrow I will be out walking and increasing the amount of time I am running......we were running tonight through fields etc so that adds to the workout and is better on the joints than paved roads.....

Anyway - just thought I'd update you all :)

Our little horseman..

We went to the Valley Zoo today to make the most of the GORGEOUS temperatures!!! Sam had his very first pony ride.....

No time to share any more pictures right now but hopefully tomorrow I will find some time!
