Absolutely, Positively Wellington

I went for a run this morning around Oriental Bay and saw hundreds of people out biking, running, walking and swimming in the harbour (with wetsuits)... it confirmed a sense of Wellington that I had already felt. The people here love being outdoors and active, and the City Council has done a great job of marketing city recreation and events with simple slogans, such as "Absolutely, Positively Wellington" and websites like http://feelinggreat.co.nz. As we head into summer, the skies are clearing and the wind is dying down. This is absolutely, positively a great place to be!
