Checking boxes all over the place! Yesterday was a big one for me, my first big race, big like 1268 people. It was only the 5km but trust me a year ago I did not believe I could run 1km let along 5km. The next one will be 10km, as it is on the list, but then I think I will just stick to perfecting 5km (taking my fathers advice who believes that our family is better at short distance running). But then again who knows! I really have never ever been so proud of myself. I woke up again yesterday with a running nose, sore throat, headache and just not feeling anywhere close to 100 percent. But I was determined to do it. IT was a boiling hot no cloud in the sky day, most people were unhappy about it, it kinda worked in my favour as I actually love the heat.
Me and Leica who also ran the race.
Beginning of the race, we were so far back that we did actually get to start until 2 minutes after the start!
Lola who was meant to be cheering me on but was sticking her tongue out at me instead.
My second medal in a week! 41 out of 768 in the gender category, 150 out of 1268 overall :)
Looking a little worse than at the beginning
We then went to Sean and Kim's for games and delicious Mexican. I wsa so hungry so it was great to have dinner already for us!
All scrubbed up!
A disturbing game to play to say the least. But it was great fun with some great people! What a great Saturday!
