And the earth shakes

Hi out there

All the running, training, fundraising and other little trouble has paled in comparison to the huge earthquake in Christchurch. Although I am an Aucklander and not directly hit by the devastation I am shocked at the unleashed power of mother nature and amazed that no lives were lost in this 7.1 magnitude quake!
Also it has only been three weeks that I happily ran around Hagley Park in Christchurch and that is a sobering thought indeed.
Just goes to show how reliant we are on our routine and infrastructure. I certainly don't have water for 3 days for the whole family stored somewhere.
I did do my normal runs this past week and I am struggling to find enough time to make them longer. Sorry but I can't face the thought of getting up even earlier.
But I am going to run the Half marathon in Kerikeri in November, so that will force me to push those kilometers :-)

Ciao
