HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY JOEY!
Love you. x

Did my first fun run today - and actually enjoyed it. There's something quite motivating about having a sea of people running with you.

Early start.
Finished and home by 8.20am.

4km.
Ran the whole way.
Crossed the line when the timer said 24.30.
Minus about 20 seconds for the time it took me to get through the crowd to the start line.
Roughly 6 minute kms.
Very slow in the scheme of things but, given the run included the beast that is Anderson St hill, am pretty happy with it.
Especially since I've only been back running for a week.
There were thousands of people behind me too...
And quite a stack ahead too. Winning male did it in just over 12 mins, the leading female in about 14 minutes. Crazy.

A guy with a physique like Schwarzenegger in his bodybuilding heyday finished in the top ten. J has a hilarious photo of him striding it out to the line. Was going to post that but if he found out we were laughing at him he'd beat the cr*p out of me. And, clearly, I wouldn't be fast enough to get away...

So, a photo of me looking red-faced it is. Thanks J for taking it, and for coming to watch.

Have just had a delicious hot breakfast, watched an episode of Dexter and am about to settle down for a late morning nap. Oh yeah.

Looking forward to dinner at Pascoe. See you tonight, punks.
