The City 2 Surf results are in!

Hi y'all!
The results are out for our marathon run on Sunday in the City2Surf!! We did it in the Super Fantastic Awesome Time (for us!!) of 2hrs 12mins!! YAY!! Last year we did it in 2hrs 29mins so we kicked that record's butt by a whole 17 minutes. Yahoo! {shouted into a valley so it echos on and on}! I can't tell you how proud I am of us! This is the before pic of us as we got to about the 5km mark, it took us hardly any time at all to get there this year! We made a conscious decision to run a bit this time round (last year we power walked) and it was fun to feel a bit more challenged! We reached the 4km mark before I even realised and it was cool to think we were almost 1/3 down by that stage! See the army guys behind Will? They had full, heavy packs on, and were doing so well! We saw about 8 army guys & girls! We also saw the pack of 20 Stormtroopers who stopped at one house that was playing YMCA and they all stretched, did push ups in unison and star jumps! It was hilarious and they had drawn a big crowd of onlookers and walkers alike, snapping pics & having a good laugh at them! I didn't see as many people dressed up as we did last year, its usually a really good place to do some people watching!
I really struggled from the 12km mark, my hips seized up and I was having a really hard time walking. I tried jogging for a bit, and I was helped along by the thought that we were so nearly home and a Medium McChicken Meal awaited me at Maccas at Bondi! And boy did I enjoy it when I got it! LOL! A food reward after a big run? Yes thank you! A few parents with crying kids in their prams passed us the last km and I kept looking at the little ones, with tears streaming down their faces, thinking "I know how you feel!" I didn't hurt as much the next day as I thought I would though so that is a good thing! Here is our "after" pic, looking a bit pooped! All in all, it was another fun year! Hmmm.. I think I'm going to prepare a bit better next year so we might crack the 2hr mark! Whats that? I'm happy to do it again next year? You beautie!!
