Gone too soon

One of my resolution for this year 2010 is to run a full marathon. And Adidas Auckland Marathon is the perfect event for me to take part in. I am still reminiscing the moment when I did the Auckland half marathon last year.

I went on to the official website and my heart stopped when I saw these...



What lah!! Closing date is September and now already sold out!! Not only marathon but half marathon also!!! So mad...

So sad that my biggest resolution in my life so far has to be postponed...

But wait, hopefully Trade Me New Zealand will have some entry tickets for sale come closer to the event when some contestants pull out due to unforeseen circumstances.

Or anyone that has the thicket thinking of pulling out, LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!! I'll buy it off you!!!

Le petit déjeuner

This morning we thought why not try something different for breakfast today? Off we went to Remuera and found this little French cafe/restaurant, Pyrénées.



It was a small but pleasant cafe (we'll call it cafe for this blog so that I don't have to type cafe/restaurant everytime, safe some energy) and within, a very nice ambient. Very French feel specially with French musique played in the background and French waitresses greeted us with Bonjour monsieur!!


Trust me, it got alot busier than this a bit later on

After we checked out the menu



These were what we ordered. Latte for hubby and cappucino pour moi.



And..



It was very tasty and light breakfast. Enough to fill us up and kept us full for the rest of the morning and most afternoon.

But the thing is... WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY SO MUCH FOR SUCH LITTLE MEAL LAH... NZD10.50 per meal that was, NOT including coffee

Cool change

Ladies and gentlemen,

Taupo Half Marathon

Let's do the YMCA

Another beautiful Sunday. Our friend Bev was running the YMCA Marathon Club's Women 5k & 10k fun run and walk this morning.



So we decided to go and support her, without her knowing. There were quite a few participants to much of our surprise. Around 3000 so we've been told.



The event started and finished at Cornwall Park Sports Association Club Rooms (Auckland Joggers Club) in Epsom. Walkers started at 9:00am, runners at 9:30am.

We've waited for about 45 minutes before Bev turned up.



AND SHE WALKED PASS WITHOUT NOTICING US!!! (Talk about focusing) After we yelled at her few times, she turned around and the look on her face is priceless haha.

She crossed the finish line at 1 hour 46 minutes. That's awesome effort!!

First of many I think. She told us that her next target is Huntly Half Marathon in two weeks! Double thumbs up for you darling!
