Whakarewarewa Forest Photos.
Straight after finishing my run.
Just one example of the flowers to be found along some of the trails.
Later I took Todd and the girls on a walk thru the giant Californian Redwoods. I look (and felt) like a dwarf!
There are just so many trails here that I would love to run! If only I didn't live 3hrs away!
Hopefully I may get to run there again on 11th March if I do the "Rotorua Redwoods Forest Half Marathon". I was thinking this would be my last HM as an "Under 35yr old" as my birthday is in April and after that I can enter events in the "Womens Masters" category if I so choose. But it turns out the age groupings for this event are done on your age as at 31/12/07. Therefore I would qualify for Masters this time! Don't know if this is a good thing or not... makes me feel rather old!
Here is a link to the race website, which is run by the Lake City Athletic Club:

Looks like you had the perfect holiday, including a couple of promising runs.
The half does sound like it would be memorable - those Redwoods are magnificient trees.
Great holiday snaps too :)

It's like Fairy Land, makes me want to jump on a plane right now so I can run there, stunning. You have to do that half marathon!
