Running the Half
Today marked the Auckland Marathon, New Zealand’s biggest turn out marathon. As with many years gone by, I entered the half marathon. Unlike other years, I completed a big fat zero hours of training. Unsurprisingly, this left me fairly sore for the rest of the day.
This year marked the first course change in a long time – a great change it was, taking us along the motorway, along the shoreline heading to town.
For now, time to put my feet up!
Suburban Sheep
Cycling home from work, the same way I typically drive each day, I came across a small paddock of sheep. What surprised me was it is in the middle of suburbia (and land value is at record levels), but also that I’ve never seen it. It really shows how the world can fly by you as you drive here and there, only catching a glimpse of what’s around. On the bicycle, I have more time to take it in.
Today’s image shot on the iPod touch, I used an app photo toaster to adjust colour,crop and add a texture layer. It’s a fun and competent small photo app!
