Had a crazy weekend! My boyfriend, his brother and I drove up to Mahia (a beach up the east coast of New Zealand) for their cousin's wedding. If you're not from New Zealand, you won't know that this exactly where a 'weather bomb' hit. It was pandemonium. It was absolutely pissing down, the wind was at 70km an hour, two houses lots the roofs, and the wedding was supposed to be held in a TENT! They had up to 20 men holding down their marquee which was threatening to blow away in the wind, which was so strong it was lifting th posts out of the ground, despite fully-grown men holding on to them! Not only that, but part of the caterer's supplies couldn't come because of a slip blocking the road.
So, with no power, no running water, and no venue, the wedding was postponed an hour while they pulled every thing down and set it all back up again at a wee hall down the road. Somehow the caterers managed on one measley generator and made some amazing food, and it was such a fantastic wedding!
Came home yesterday, and today I went for my 5km run! Well, I'm working up to it lol. I ran the first 4km, then walked 700 metres and ran the rest (.36 of a km).
It's not far off! I feel so close to my goal of 5km by April! So stoaked!
