Guess what I did yesterday? I ran in my first ever running race! 10km in fact! I was going to do the 5km but really my daily run is already 5.6km so I thought I would give the longer one a shot and it was so.much.fun! I got hardly any stitches and I only choked at the water stop once, success. It was over too soon though, I just wanted to keep running! There was so many people so I was dodging fellow runners the whole way but it was so pretty to run around the Yarra at 9am on a Sunday winter morning.. no joke, that is my idea of fun! I can't wait for the next race in August and then maybe I will do a half marathon in October if I am ready for it. It was a bit of a lonely day though especially crossing to line to see no one and then I had to go to work in the afternoon to see slim to none customers.. but skipping work for pancakes today made up for that ♥

Congratulations! That is amazing, I wish I could run that far. I'm working on five minutes at a time at the moment.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! Congrats! I am so happy for you! Aren't they so addicting?
ReplyDeleteYour package is in the mail! Look for it soon!
kudos to you! i can barely run a block, let alone 10 km.
ReplyDeleteGood on you! I cant run from here to the mailbox (approx 100m) so to me you are absolutely amazing! I would love to be able to run but I just cannot commit. Maybe someday.
