game play...

4 days ago, Mich, Sarah Jane & I went to Telstra Dome. Why? So that we could be a part of the Commonwealth Games by watching the Rugby 7s! Teams of 7 aside playing for 2 7 minute halves. There were teams from Sri Lanka, Uganda, Tonga to New Zealand, England, Fiji & of course, Australia.

We got to be in view of the preliminaries. The atmosphere was breath-taking, the supporters were rowdy, including us, & the discussions we had were hilarious, with seriousness in it too! We had an awesome time, checking out the plays, sitting on the edge of our seats when a try was about to be scored or not & at one stage we were involved in the best Mexican wave even! The whole stadium took part, in a continuous wave, this was where all 3 of us almost ended up on the floor, literally. Oh I had a sore ass for a day, but it was all good fun!

Another interesting thing that I got myself into is this Charity Fun Run for the children in RCH. Well its for the Good Friday Appeal & the run is in less than 3 weeks. Basically & hopefully I'll come out of it alive, as its a 14.7 km run. From the Telstra Dome, up the Bolte Bridge, across the West Gate Freeway, thru the Domain Tunnel, pass the Rod Laver Arena, Fed Square, the Town Hall & the Queen Victoria Market, all the way to the Royal Children Hospital. I don't even know it I can call it a fun run...hahaha...but hey its for the kids, rite! At least, the person who pulled me into this is going to do it with me. And neither of us really likes the thought of running, let alone doing it. Mich & I saw the marathon runners on Sunday & we were tired for them. Ok but I must say that its not all that bad, I reckon I'm starting to get into the swing of things.
