CHRISTMAS WITH THE FAMILY

Last year we spent Christmas with Amanda's family in Western Australia so this year we spent it at home in Noosa with my family. Mum, dad, Jacque and her boyfriend Guy made the 3 hr trip up from the Gold Coast to spend the day with Amanda, myself and our American friends Summer & Aaron. 

After an early morning run through Noosa National Park with the Grangers, Andrew Johns, Lisbeth Kristensen and Simon Thompson and an ocean swim at Noosa main beach the family arrived and the presents where handed around.

In the afternoon we all congregated at Belinda and Justin Grangers new house and ate and drank ourselves into submission right through the afternoon and into the night. It was a greta way to spend our first Christmas at home.  We have been getting into a bit of training routine over the past two weeks since we arrived home but now Christmas as been and gone it's time to knuckle down and build the fitness for 2010.
