Ran the bridge

I did the run the bridge today. 10 Kilometers, my second ever one.  First was Ross last Sept and I struggled really bad because Id never ran that far before.  This was much better, maybe because the last one I ran was 21K, or because I run a lot more now, but I got to the 5K mark and couldnt believe I’d already got half way.

I havent been very well this week in the stomach, Im not sure why but I had an upset stomach again this morning so I was glad to get to the bathroom before I had to start the race,  I didn’t seem to get too dehydrated though.

I didnt do it as fast as I would like, I had to walk one of the hills, it was too much for me, I ran it in 1.02ish, I wanted to get in under an hour but I knocked almost 15 mins off my last run so I’m still pleased with the time I did.

It was a fun run actually, 3 major hills but really nice scenery.  I’d never ran across the Tasman Bridge either so that was cool.

The worst bit was that you had to run past the finishing line and double back, you’re kinda like noooooooo as you run farther and farther away from it haha.  You double back and finish in one of the piers, first time I’ve finished inside a building.  Mon was waiting for me at the end, she’s always there waiting for me the sweetie.

Found the rest of our running group after that.  I had a spot on a bus booked but we decided to walk back instead, it was a nice day and a cruisey walk back, although my legs were sore and my bad hip was hurting a little and I was generally siezing a little bit all over.  It was a good walk back though, four of us went back, there were heaps of people that did walk or run back, we all still had medallions around our necks.  We all parked at our gym because the start line was only a few blocks away.  I was thankful to get to Fernwood, I was tired.  We went in to use the toilets and bathrooms and quite a few ladies had dropped in from the run as well.

It’s a long weekend this weekend so I have tomorrow off too, yay 🙂 Today I’ve sat around and done nothing from when I got home from the run.  My legs hurt and my hip is sore but I’m not too bad I guess.  I’m watching Burlesque at the moment I love this movie.

Bren took me out to tea on friday night.  It was so nice to sit and eat tea and just talk and talk and talk.  I’ve never had a serious boyfriend where the conversation doesn’t run out.  We’ve had a big talk about everything and what we expect from each other and what we want.  We’re not jumping into anything, right now we’re taking things slow and having fun.

I was worried about telling my friends.  I don’t really care what people think but I was worried about telling Lara, Jade and Jacq, they’re the 3 I care about the most, that look out for me the most.  I told Jacq first and she told me to be careful, Lara wasn’t very happy about it, she also told me to be careful but I know she’s not very happy about it.  Jade I was worried about telling because she’s spent a long time continuing to tell me not to talk to him, she wasn’t aware that we were even speaking.  She freaked out at first but I had a big talk with her about it and she got it, she said she’d never judge me anyway, it’s my decision and I need to do what’s right for me.  That was a huge weight off my chest.

Alright that’s it for me for now
