On Saturday Wellington Harriers had their summer run from Gary's place in Raumati South.
He turned on a magnificent day for us and took us around some of his running tracks. There was a great turn out of runners and walkers. Gary not only turned on fantastic weather but made sure we were well catered for with a cold drink and ample food afterwards.
Here are some photos of what we saw on our travels on the Kapiti Coast walkways and beaches.

We're off |

Along Raumati South Beach with Kapiti Island in the background. |

Front runners heading to Lookout |
 |
Time to take in the view for a moment |
 |
and catch our breath. |
 |
How about a group photo to show our grand children if they are at all interested. |
 |
I managed to get into this one [on seat 3rd from the left] Obviously it was very warm! |
 |
Some of the boys are feeling frisky. |

Another team photo |

Back on to the beach to get some sea breeze. |

Was worth the effort! |

Time to head home. |
 |
A good spread was waiting for us. |

Plenty of food and drink to replenish lost energy. |

Telling a few stories of past glories |

and sorting out the problems of the world.
Thanks Gary for hosting a scenic and enjoyable run. Everyone enjoyed the challenge under sunny skies and the after match function. |

The person who hosts it, do they get to choose the route? Looks like you were a nice group doing it together! Love the photos! Parts of it look like hard work. A shame no photo of you as well!
Have included one now Lea as it has just been sent to me! As you can see it was a hot day.
Great shots, you passed some beautiful scenery along your run. It looks like it must have been a very hot day!!!
That sounds like an excellent time! Nothing like sorting out the world after a perfect exercise excursion and good food with friends. I wish that all people could experience fitness that way--they'd love it--like we do.

Looks like you had a wonderful Saturday run! How far was it?
Well done Paul!
