Sheez! I so forgot to write about this fantastic experience!
Never in my life did I think I could run 9km let alone an official run. If I wasn't eating the way I do now I doubt that I'd have lasted the distance.
So, I did it with a time of 1hr,2mins & 3 secs. It was a pretty comfortable run I have to say. Next year I would like to do it much faster as I know I can. However, my running buddies want to tackle the Half Marathon (21kms). So I'm not sure which I'll do. 21kms is a long long distance. By September 2010 I will know which one I'll do.
The other bit of good news is I managed to raise some much needed funds for my charity of choice: http://www.gofundraise.com.au/halej. I still have a bit of money to raise by 12th December.
The funny thing is I joined a run group to fulfil my IBO cardio requirements which I failed to do when I did the first program (I'm on my 2nd). The group I run with - NRG - are awesome. So friendly and encouraging. And since joining, it has opened up so many other possibilities/interests for me such as doing kick-box classes once a week and gone back to swimming (without flippers - hardwork!) once a week as well.
Somebody sent me a video of women in a Pole Dancing competition and I'm thinking 'can I do that like them?' Hmmm...ya never know? Their bodies are so fantastic - such an athletic thing & so sexy (-: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_NJiwIVu6k&feature=PlayList&p=C1FC7F16C5164402&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=15
There's a mother Plover causing a bit of a ruckus in the field next door to me. I feel sorry for her having to deal with 2 crazy over-energised babies. Good luck to em all & fingers crossed!

Hi Jamii
ReplyDeleteI'm Janelle and I'm in Week 3 on my IBO program. This is my thrid attempt at it and this time, I'm going to finish it no matter what! I'm really interested in reading about your running as my personal challenge is completing the Mother's Day Classic next year. Its only a 6km run in Ballarat (I think its about 10km elsewhere) but at teh moment I'm struggling to get to about 2-3km so this will be a big challenge for me. Well done on your Bridge run!!!
