Beat Beethoven

On June 7th my brother Stuart and I ran the 8km Beat Beethoven run while my pregnant sister-in-law walked the 4km and Alberto held coats and took pictures. The Kingston Symphony put on a free concert (Beethoven's 3rd Symphony) while runners and walkers followed the route. My brother generously kept me company for the first 3km before taking off to go at his own pace. Unfortunately I missed out on most of the concert, making it back with just seven minutes to spare.

I finished in 43.21 beating my own goal of 46 minutes. Over 700 people walked or ran raising oodles of money for the KSO. All in all it was a great time and I hope to do even better next year.

Sue (my sister-in-law) walks and claps.





After, at the pub.
