On Sunday, our family took part in a huge annual event in Auckland. It is a gigantic fun run called Round the Bays. The race is an 8 1/2 kilometer run along the Auckland waterfront from downtown Auckland to St. Heliers Bay, which is just past Kohimarama (where we live). This run is HUGE. There are about 40,000 registered runners and an estimated 70,000 participants (which included us). It is so crowded that you can hardly run, even 5 kilometers into the race. Mark, Emma, and Hannah finished the race, but Esther, Sarah and I stopped a kilometer early when we got to Kohimarama. Sarah started to protest half-way through. She said her legs were tired. I told her she had to keep going because those legs were her way home. She hung in there and made it. I was really proud of all the kids. They did great.
