A few of the July '08 mums discussed getting together as a group to walk/run the Round the Bays, and the OHbaby! team are discussing the possibility of an official OHbaby! team.
Bring your baby in a buggy, or come sans children, walk or run - it's up to you. I've had a chat to Katherine and she's sure we can rustle up some spot prizes for participants. We'd need to know numbers etc. to know if it's a viable possibility, and if we go ahead, we'll get t-shirts made up etc. So who is keen? Details are as follows: DATE14 March 2010] TIME 9:30 A.M. START on Quay St, between Tinley St and the Strand Overbridge (no public access via the Overbridge) FINISH at Vellenoweth Green, St Heliers Bay DISTANCE 8.4 kilometres COST $15 More information is available http://roundthebays.co.nz/default,7,about-the-run.sm - here . -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

As a walker - I'm in, a perfec excuse to get the running/walking shoes out of the closet!
Anyone know how long it would take to walk this as I haven't done it before (as to whether i take the boys or not) - would there be any room for a double buggy? ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

The road is closed so there is plenty of room (although obviously loads of people). It takes (at a stroll) probably 40 mins? (sorry ive only ever run it so im not sure, but thats my guesstimate.) ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

Just found this lil tidbit on the website:
Can I push my child in a pram? Yes, prams are permitted. We recommend entrants with prams start toward the back of the pack and keep to the left of the course. |

Oh and the 40 minutes is from the startline, you usually have to walk 10 minutes to get to the startline! ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

only 50 minutes, I don't believe you (well i do I just thought it would take longer).
I may just get dropped off without the boys (or carpool?) which would make life a bit easier me tinks. ------------- 3yr old gorgeous ID twin boys. |

It's 8K. I normally walk at about 6-7KPH so it takes me over an hour. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Wow, I must run faster than I thought .. sorry my guesstimation was off.

I'm thinking I'll do it sans toddler. I can't see her being happy to stay in the pram for at least an hour!  and last thing I want is to be wrangling a grumpypants squirmy kiddiwnkle but i know other babies will be happy to stay put.-------------

I'm doing it sans children (or at least sans child) .. Issy wont be impressed with being in a pram for that long .. but I may have Elias it just depends on the babysitters. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

I may be keen ... definitely not with children, and I'll be walking with the nanas/like a nana!! haha. Will check my diary ... (few weddings on around then) ....
I walked it a few years back and think it took about 55mins from memory, I started pretty close to the start line though. ------------- DS (5yrs) and DD (3yrs) |

| I could hopefully be in...also sans child. All depends on wether or not DH is around or not...which is usually unlikely at that time of year. |

Based on my experience on walking the Welly one last year with the double buggy. If you're a fast walker then try to get to the front of the walkers. I found it sooo frustrating trying to walk quickly while trying to weave through people 'strolling' |
Posted By: xLUCKYx
Date Posted: 06 February 2010 at 2:54pm
| Tishy I'd find that annoying too - I am a fast walker and hate being 'stuck' behind people. I really want to take the kids and buggy but think for this one they would be best left out... |
