Yesterday morning I was fortunate enough to share in a great event in my local community. The Minimos fun run takes place each year over 5K or 10K distances and attracts a large amount of families and those more serious about their running. The course is very challenging and as such anyone going under 40mins is doing very well.
Leader of the Australian opposition, Tony Abbott was in attendance running and again demonstrating himself to be a very fit man by coming down and completing the 10KM race. Regardless of political affiliations, you have to take your hat off to a man who has completed a full Ironman event and numerous other long distance events.
Many other politicians around the world could learn a thing or two from him in terms of maintaining a healthy weight and fitness and promoting this to the electorate. In a world of increasing sizes and weights in the west, positive examples like that of Mr Abbott are indeed a welcome but rare sight. – Sean Muller
