TLC Fun Run

Do you want to drag your warm snuggly family outside, into the cold and get them moving? Me too!!

The Lakes College Fun Run in North Lakes is the perfect opportunity. It's held on the 19th August, is a fantastic run and is great for beginners. You can choose a distance of either 2km, 6km or 10km. I love the 10km but now my girls have hopped on fun run band wagon and I'll do the 2km with them. This is an excellent distance for their little legs or for beginners. The 2km run is around the lake and you are so distracted by the beauty you won't even notice you have been exercising. You will love the proud look on the children's faces when they have completed the run. 

Afterwards, they supply water and fruit for the runners or you can head out to a local cafe for breakfast to refuel your bodies. I'm thinking Watercrest Restaurant in Evergreen Centre. 

You can register at www.tlcfunrun.org.au and families will receive a discount.

Mmmm, Corn fritters

Breakfast is one of my favourite meals and I could happily eat breakfast foods three times a day.

So I was a happy girl when we decided to hit Watercress Restaurant in Northlakes for a Sunday breakfast. I had been hearing a lot about this place run by Al and Rebecca. You don't get a feel for the place from the outside, but inside it has a lovely, relaxed tropical feel. I love that there is space between the tables, I could gesture as big as I wanted and didn't have to apologise to anyone.

I didn't even need to look at the menu, I had heard about the corn fritters and I will climb a mountain, swim an ocean or wear stonewash to reach a good corn fritter. That is how much I love them. Presentation was beautiful (thanks Al), the combination of avocado, poached egg, tomato and sauces were perfect. This greedy girl was satisfied. A big plus for good coffee.

My husband had Eggs Benedict with bacon. He couldn't tell me what he thought he was too busy inhaling this.

The girls also got appropriately sized and priced children's bacon and eggs. I could have taken a photo but didn't because I was too busy eating by then.

As Arnie says "I'll be back".
