We had a pretty quiet time of it, mainly because we were there to do Afterglow a twilight trail half marathon that runs on the Surf coast trail (parallel to the Great Ocean Road).

The theme of the run (or as my coach calls it, the party) was "the trail unicorn is real" and the fun was definitely real. People dressed up - including one person running in a full on unicorn suit:
It's such a beautiful trail and running in the dark with head torches was new to us, but not difficult at all. And the views were indescribable.
It was a really friendly, chatty run, and I'd say that the first 14kms were the most fun I've had on a run in long time.
Then there were 3 kilometres on the beach, I was getting slower and slower, it was ten at night and I did not enjoy the last bit at all. Although there were two women running is front of us wrapped in lights, and between them and a spectacular almost full moon rising over the water it was pretty incredible.
After the run I felt kind of sick, and couldn't eat anything much, except Bee had some mini-cucumbers and they were the best thing ever.

Other than the run, the weekend was really about hanging out with good friends, eating good food and just enjoying the fresh air, sunshine and being away from home.
