Track Notes

This was the idea of Rachel Stevens, an extraordinary young lady at Eternity church. She’s an author and a painter. Check out her work at www.rachaelstevens.com.au .

The 4 of us ambled along, but there were more on the team. We met 3 more at the start, but lost them. At least 2 others from Eternity ran the 10km.

I learned a few things today. Young people are amazed that we still have a land line at home; wonder how we communicated without mobile phones; the sum of the 3 ages of my companions was less than my years; I’m old.

But it was fun.

There must have been 2 or 3 thousand people out there. Good on you Lifeline!
