3 kilometers

Two weekends from now we're going to the Zoo. They have organized a 6 km fun run open to all ages and a 3 km course for children. I've signed up and asked if Frunty would like to try the 3 km run. The course snakes through the grounds of the Zoo and Night Safari so it will be interesting to run around the animals. To give Frunty a taste of what 3 kms is like, we marked out a circuit in our neighbourhood. Today we tested it with Frunty on bicycle and I on foot. His report was that it didn't seem so far and that it was easy but by the time we got home, he was complaining of being very hot and sweaty.
