Spencer Park - Walk/ Run .

 Yesterday we were given the opportunity to run or walk from Broad Haven Park to Spencer Park. First we got into cars and we were driven to Broad Haven Park. When we got there, the sky was a foggy grey. Mist was looming in the air. We got a small brief and then we got into our groups. The runners went first and then the run - walkers. We decided that we would run one Kilometre and then walk the next kilometre so that we didn't get too burnt out. I started running with Minttu at the 3 K mark. The forest smelt  like freshly cut grass, it was a nice smell. The ocean was roaring beside us. We made a plan that we would jump each puddle and run down all the hills. Minttu and I found a cute red mushroom on our way there. It looked as if there was a door on it. At the six K mark we could see all of the ocean and the forest. When we got the a clearing in the majestic forest we knew that we were close. It was a big slog, but we made it in the end, even after nearly being lost - the marker was spinning around so we didn't know which way to go! We got helped by a biker who showed us the way. We got photos taken and a sausage sizzle. We were allowed to play on the playground for a while, and then we went home in vans or a car. It was a really fun day and I hope we get another opportunity like that again.

  1. Isla, well done on making the trek with your friends. I really like the descriptive language you have used, such as 'like freshly cut grass', 'roaring', and 'majestic forest.' Do yoiu think you might run it if you did it again?
