The Tan



The Tan Track, commonly called the tan, is a 3.8 km gravel track through the Royal Botanical Gardens just south of the Yarra River near the center of Melbourne. It's THE PLACE to run. Not being much of a runner myself (at all), I'd never been. I went Thursday night with Julia, the leader of the Urban Life group that met the previous Thursday. Let me clarify right away that we walked. It was a beautiful walk, one that we decided we'll take again soon. I really enjoyed getting to know Julia as well. We shared many similarities in travel, career, and future perspectives.

As you've probably noticed, I've become very excited about being healthy. I organize my life around it actually. I've declared that by the end of 2008, I will complete a triathalon. I am confident in my swimming abilities, am gaining confidence in biking, and now need to develop the running component. Hosi... help!
