Gold Coast - Australia:
I didn't do any running today, we've been travelling from Sydney north to the Gold Coast region of Australia. We're here now and it looks something like this:

| View from the hotel - more good luck with blind booking |
 |
| Surfers Paradise Beach (No people, its winter only 23degrees) |
 |
| Life Guard Competition |
The Gold Coast Marathon has about 25,000 competiors and the 2K, 4K, 5K, 10K, half and full marathon. So they have a good sized, well organized race expo.
Here are a some pics:

All I have left to do is Run the Race! Wish me luck!
Running for Charity:
I am doing all my runs this year, starting with the Run for Reach Half Marathon and the Ottawa Capital Marathon to raise funds for a local charity called Mood Disorders Ottawa (MDO). MDO is a small but vibrant, volunteer run organization (100% of donations go to programs for our members) the that supports people with mood disorders and their loved ones. To these ends, MDO provides resources, programs, support groups, social and recreational activities for our members and their families and friends.
