Wanganui Ladies "Splurge" Group Have Some fun and Get Active Continued

Well we decided to get fit as a group and have started walking with the aim of been ready for the Taupo Half Marathon in August. Our group ranges in age from mid 20's to mid 50's, with one woman having just finished chemo & radiation treatment for breast cancer – successfully I might add. We meet at 6am each morning for our 6.5km walk, along with a various assortment of very excited dogs. Then on a Sunday we are doing 11km. These distances will be amped up in May and each month there after until we are at the required distance to compete successfully.

One of the women in our group is our task master and keeps us all on track and motivated.
When we go to Taupo we have rented a house from Friday-Monday, with the marathon been on the Sunday so not only do we have the goal of the marathon to aim for but also we have the lovely women's weekend away to look forward to as well.

We're thinking Paris in 2013!!! Why not??
