Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

My mother in law asked my wife and I to give her a hand at her house.  The last set of storms had brought down some tree branches in her yard.  We had to move it from the front yard to near the road so the city could come and collect all the green waste.  The branches were pretty heavy and I was worried that I would hurt my back or strain something.  Lucky for us there were no injuries had.  While we were driving home I was feeling OK and decided that I would go for a quick 3k run.  It was still light out and the temperature was perfect. 

As I am slowly getting fitter am I able to run longer.  When I did the bridge to Brisbane I was able to run 8ks without a stop but I find I am having to take a bit of a break every couple of ks.  Yesterday I was able to stretch it out a little bit and went 2.8ks before I took a break (meaning I walked home from the 2.8 mark).  I used my old Adidas shoes for a change and that was alright.  I think I'll keep interchanging my shoes every couple of runs.
