"Fun" Runs

I'm not really sure why they call them that. I'm pretty sure my feet, thighs & lungs would all beg to differ. BUT, I did it. 10kms around our Swan River with some of the most gorgeous views. You think they'd help. They don't.

Our whole family did it. Padre is a bit of an athlete & managed to clock in at 57 minutes. A family friend, in his mid-50's, was finishing as I got the 5km mark (45 minutes). He actually does these for fun. The BLB managed 49 minutes & MD came in just after me.

I managed to come in at 1 hr 25 mins & I was no where near last.

I couldn't go as far as saying it was the perfect way to start a Sunday, but I feel rather invigorated & energetic now. It's a good exhausted that I'm feeling.



Just don't ask me to do it again soon.

wow! impressive to hear the stats of people you know! haha and i agree, "fun" isn't the best adjective, perhaps "intense challenge" would fit a little better! but good job girl!!
