City2Surf, that is, which my crew rocked! Conny even rolled - her ankle, the poor dear.
Congratulations to all who participated on Sunday! What were your times and how did it feel?
I finished in 78:35 and I still hurt! This is largely due to the fact that I went to bootcamp last night when my body had definitely not yet recovered. It screamed abuse at me the entire time and this morning on my regular 7:15am run with Llinos from World Square around Mrs Macquarie's Chair, my legs were like lead. It was a difficult slow plod, but we'll come good.
My crew on the day were Conny, Mark Chandler, Claudia and Llinos who all came in under the 100 minute mark. In fact, I think if Chandler had run in the green group instead of the blue group and faced less human obstacles, he would have beaten me!
After the city2surf, Conny and I tried a deep fried mars bar:
It was gooey and squishy and made of junk food love, the likes of which I've never before eaten and will never eat again! Hahaha
I'm SO AMAZED with my time - It beat my expectations by HEAPS. This is largely thanks to the support of Conny who, despite having rolled her ankle in the first 5km, ran with me all the way and kept me focused. She is going to head back to Switzerland via asia at the end of the month and I will be so lost without her. ♥
ANYWAY, moving on (before I cry):
THIS SUNDAY AT 9AM we are meeting where Lilyfield Rd meets the bay run to do the bay to the quay in 14km. We've done this run before and it was really great! When we arrive in the rocks, its breakfast at Pancakes.
What a sweet, sweet reward!!
DONT BE AFRAID! This is a long slow distance run, we don't go any faster than 6 minute kms because the focus is on recruiting type 1 muscle fibres and getting our bodies really comfortable with running longer distances. For some of us, this is the beginning of a new adventure - training for the September Half Marathon!
But more on that later...
Who will I be seeing??
