do do run run
ran the city2 surf today... i found 14km a lot easier than i thought it would be. i ended up doin it in 85:44 pretty good since my target was 120 mins =p .. im 35 mins fitter than i thought i was =) i reakon i could do it a good 10-15 mins faster though... if i paced myself better and had shoes tthat fit properly. i used about 1/2 roll of strapping tape on my ankles and they still are sore... also cos my shoes are too small, my feet are riddled with blisters.. ack.
its so much easier to run with some1 else.. cos u pace ursef better, and are also less tempted to stop and walk when it hurts. i ran with julia first, then donald and bobby, then eli and bobby.. then just bobby for about the last 6kms. he runs about my pace so it worked well. i pipped him at the post on the sprint down the home stretch though =)
twas freezing the whole way, im soo glad i wore a long sleeve tshirt. i was cold even though i almost ran the whole 14kms. i did however, run under a few hoses and such =p
at bondi we stopped and ate some uber-sketchy food at the Splash Cafe. i was pretty sick afterwards, and it was kinda pricey. but it was warm inside and thats all i really needed =p i got a lift back to the city which was good, since i couldnt really walk =p
