My partner's out and about at the moment, so I've got no-one to share with - except you guys.
Just finished my first running event - the Sydney Half Marathon.
Yup - 21.1km - basically two laps around the Sydney CBD.
I ran 1 hour 54.55 min - a little quicker than I was expecting, a little slower than I was hoping for - but considering with the crowd I didn't get past the actual start line until about three minutes into the event, and didn't get into my normal stride until about two km (once the crowd started to open up a bit), I was pretty happy with that - enough in the tank to hike up the shorts and pick the pace up at the end.
Not bad for a 31 year old who only started running with any sort of intent just under 5 months ago...
