my day out at the hunter valley gardens

So ran a 10k race today. had to drive 1hr ++ to get there. Its at the wineries, so pretty scenery:) After race, while awating prize presentation, went into the hunter valley garden. Big rip-off. Paid $16 and had nothing sensational. This is me with Alice in her tea party. and the mad-hatter!
waterfall lookout of the gardens
Prize presentation. had 1600 people in total taking part in 6k, 10k, 21k and marathon
I couldnt believe it! i won 2nd in 18-29 age gp. 9th female overall for 10.3k. time: 47.35. It was trial/dirt road, so time is slower(well, thats what i tell myself, plus there was this horrible hill)
Oh, I won a bottle of hunter valley wine. haha. i think its much better than one of those tiny medals.

i dont know if someone just put the flowers there, or are they meant to be there. haha(talking abt the bear's eyes)
So burnt up most of the day. left house 7am. got back 4pm. need to study, but got church in 2 hours. sigh. so overall, i am happy with my time cos i have not run for 1 week! plus without running, started eating lotsa junk food.
