Wednesday 12 February 2020 marked the return of the All-inclusive Boarders Morning Run\/Walk with representation from all houses. \u00a0It was a terrific turn out with 24 boys and 2 young at heart adults resisting the temptation to throw the alarm across the room thus not allowing that little voice inside your head to come up with some lame excuse as to why not to go. \u00a0It was this same voice who reappeared at about the halfway point of the run questioning the will to continue.<\/p>\n

We paused quickly at Bishopsgate for a happy snap before the fun began. \u00a0Jo and some of the boys were not overly impressed with the idea of a photo so early in the morning as the early start limited the time to apply the product.<\/p>\n

I gave clear instructions on taking care crossing roads, mindful of pedestrians etc. and off we went. \u00a0Jo and I positioned ourselves at the back of the pack purely because of our Duty of Care. \u00a0There is a rumour going around that it was because we were slow which is totally unfounded, it\u2019s disappointing to see that the \u2018Tall Poppy\u2019 syndrome has penetrated so early into our youth.<\/p>\n

It really is a great part of the day and a great part of Sydney. \u00a0The only issue was we left at 6:30am and the Caf\u00e9 at Balls Head, \u2018The Coal Loader\u2019, didn\u2019t open until 7:30am\u2026.. Note to self, talk to owner about opening times.<\/p>\n

It was clear that the boys enjoyed this experience.\u00a0 There was a diverse range of ability but that is not an issue, it\u2019s about having a dig! \u00a0We had Year 7 all the way up to Year 12 from all houses\u2026.. It\u2019s so great to see.<\/p>\n

As we made our way up the final hill approaching Bishopsgate, Ashton Gresham (Year 11) jogged back towards Jo and me to see if we were OK. \u00a0In my mind I was bounding like a gazelle across the Veldts but maybe I was delusional. \u00a0This was verified when I looked across the road and a lady jogging with a pram was pulling away\u2026\u2026 not to be deterred, we will do it again every Monday, Wednesday and Friday\u2026.
