City to Surf
I ran the Perth City to Surf for the first time yesterday.
It was cold and wet and miserable, but despite that (and a bug that I had thought was going to relegate me to walking) I managed to run 12km! I stopped to walk up some of the steeper bits of the hills but it is still the furthest I have run in my life and I can't quite believe I actually did it.
Whether I can walk 100m today is another matter entirely, I want a nerve blocker from the waist down and don't even want to think about knees and hips and thigh muscles.
I love my job to bits but I'm afraid it just has to go (very sad). Watching all those bloody private company joggers hop off to their corporate tents for a cooked breakfast and a rub down made me lose all love for the government life and I'm all prepared to sell my soul to a corporate giant like Rio Tinto on the promise of a hot dog and masseuse!
