Done!!

... in more ways than one.

Er, sorry, fan(s), forgot to post before race day. Too stressed out over a pathetic 5k. Honestly.

Anyway, we did it! Me in 34min and runningstitch in 30min. Basically I lost sight of runningstitch within the first 400m and never saw her again. I endeavoured to and managed to pass at least a couple of ah sohs, one or two um, "larger women", and one or two school children (who would annoyingly just pass you again later). But i also did not pass a LOT of other people. Still - i'm glad i ran the whole thing!

I have to say running in a crowd makes a big diffference. It's no where near as boring as running on your own, and the sight of ah sohs running ahead of you just makes you push on. Seriously.

My heart was a bit skippy, but that's what I get for quaffing a whole 6-pack of coke a week before the race.

Disappointingly, once you pass the finish line, you do not run straight into a table full of cookies, bananas, jelly and water. As was my dream. (Organizers! Note for next year!)

Thanks to our cheerleaders and thanks to runningstitch without whom i would not be able to do this involved in this madness.
