Congrats to Brandon for running his 50th parkrun this past Saturday!! It was crazy hot, but that didn’t stop some of our friends from running and walking it too, then joining us for brunch afterward. I volunteered as photographer and made the signs for Brandon. It was also our home parkrun, Greenway’s second Birthday so the theme was green. 🙂 I am only up to my 20th parkrun and my 4th one volunteering. Brandon gets his red 50th shirt and I am going to order some parkrun swag too.

Brandon and I are doing a 20km hike in New Zealand when we are there in March for my Birthday trip. I need to work on my hills and stairs to get ready for it. It is called the Tongariro Alpine Crossing and one of the volcanic mountains is what they used in Lord of the Rings as Mount Doom. Check it out here: https://www.tongarirocrossing.org.nz/ . Looking so forward to that trip and exploring more of New Zealand!!
