Happy International Women's Day!!
Got up at 5.30am this morning to get ready for the International Women's Day 5km fun walk/run...
Before the warm up the Queensland Premier - Anna Blighwas there giving us some motivation/tips for the run...
Found a photo of me during the warm up
Just before the run...we all lined up and here's an asian guy who was supporting his partner and coz he was a guy...check out his "boobs" and his bottom is made of swimming costume material & the design was oranges...many ppl were laughing at him but all good fun..
Found a photo of me during the start of the run
Found a photo of me at the finish
This was Im went alone & decided to run.....it was a challenge to myself and I was hoping to run through the whole 5km but coz I never really trained for it & was never ever a fan of running....given that I go for cardio classes at the gym did help a bit but still....it was not competitve so I ran some & walked some but ran pass the finishing like and the clocked showed 39 mib 51 sec...well I ran & walked & there were like heaps (thousand) of women running too but I finished it...felt really good.....was all sweaty so wiped myself dry...get the race pack then headed back....totally didnt warm down @ all...regret regret...
Came home...rested for awhile...had my bottle of Pocari Sweat then had a shower....had some bread for brekkie & headed to bed....my calves are aching....but think coz I never really strained them that much coz cardio classes you dont run that much....I am inspired to go for more runs but I think will stick for 5km ones for the moment...not ready for 10km yet...
There's the Gold Coast Airport Marathon on 5 July that Im considering but just for the 5km run/walk portion..will see how things go...trying to get hubby involved...it's something romantic & healthy we can do together but to be confirmed...need to check the details first...
Going to nap more now....ciao....
