It was beginning to be another glorious Saturday morning.  And so I went for a walk.  It's been awhile since I did this, so I could feel my body struggling, every step of the way, in my 5-kilometer walk.  There is a regular running group in this park that starts at 8 a.m.  The runners come from all ages, men, women and children, from different ethnicity and some even with their dogs leading the way.  I did notice that there were less than 5 Kiwinoys in the group.  A couple of running moms had their babies in the stroller with a very supportive dad running alongside.  And the running shoes, wow, coming from all sahpes, sizes, colours and brands.  I made do with my super cheap $7.99 rubber shoes from The Warehouse.  It took me 35-minutes to finish.  Must do better next time.  It's another, normal, Saturday morning in Aotearoa New Zealand.  I hope it stays this way because I have heaps of clothes to laundry.  I love the smell of sun-dried clothes!  But then that's another story!
