City to surf

My knees hurt like hell, I am hobbling like an old woman. My hip is painful, my muscles ache and I keep getting muscle cramps in my calves. On the up side I'm so high on endorphins Tony is having a hard time keeping up with me.

So the aim for me was not so much to do a good time, but just to do it. Mission accomplished, I did it, I ran the whole thing even the hills. It took me an hour and a half...talk about slow! According to my HR monitor I burnt 1090 calories!! wow!!

Poor Ben who was getting a lift back and up the hill to Renee's birthday had to wait around for me. By the time I was done and found him he was shivering in his wet running clothes. Poor boy has not an ounce of fat on him to keep him warm. I found my bag with my jumper, which I gave to Ben. My jumper is a lovely shade of super-girly pink. He looked just fetching in it! hehe

Lunch in the hills was nice, but I was a little too pooped to be very conversational. We gave Renee a beautiful tajine from a freo pottery artist. She loved it, so that was wicked.

So now I am putting in some quality day bed time, things thing has totally paid for itself!!

Good work! When we met Mark he was shivering and had blue lips, but he was okay :P I think everyone was very happy that Adam and I had put a car there with heating.

I was somewhat happy with my performance and one thing that surprised me was how quickly it went vs last year. I remember running through Perry Lakes wonderign when this thing was going to f*cking end! This year it was like ... oh, is that all!

Good work on running the whole way and achieving your goals! High five.
