FUNRUN AND BOOT CAMP-EXERCISE OVERLOAD
Yesterday I went to our quarterly Boot CAmp. This time we did it at the local Botanical Gardens, which just happens to have hills and stairs...many, many stairs. I won't go into detail. It was torture carrying our rifles (poles) up and down these vertically challenging obstcales. But I stayed near the leaders of the pack, cannot keep up with 3 of them but I am ahead of the rest of the group. So I am impressed with myself. It was on again today but I had to miss it beacsue I had something better to do.
Today I went into the city to compete in the Cancer fun/run walk. My sister met me there and we were at the starting line for the 8km walk. We were filmed so you never know we might be on TV tonight! We ran about 1/3 of it and completed the course in 64 minutes. I was very pleased with that as my target was to be under 70 mins. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the course was around the Botanical Gardens in Melb so very picturesque.8kms plus of course the walk to and from the station. Again we were only a few people behind the leaders. My sister has now agreed to do the 14.7km one with me in April. It is great to have her there as someone to talk to but also because she encourages me to run more than I would on my own. Now I need to eat and have a "nanna nap" I am sooooo tired.
