Lately I have been running quite a bit and it is finally beginning to show in my times. For those “runners” out there I know – still pretty slow. For me however it is fast, so just let me have my moment of glory and say “well done”.
This weekend I podium’ed!!!! Yes, for the first time since ever – or at least since I left school. I cam 3rd in my age group and I was not even there to collect my prize. I knew I was pretty far up the field but was not sure where I had come. It did help that there were three races, a 27km, a 10km and a 5 km so I am guessing that all the super quick girls did the 27km. But – I am not going to look for justifications!! I came 3rd in my age group fair and square. I ran my fasted “stand-alone” 10km ever (yes, believe it or not I have actually done it quicker in a triathlon).and I got my first silver medal – which I only realised the next day when I was taking it out my car. That means that I finished in the top 100. Today when I looked at my results I actually came 73 out of 306 people, so I am VERY happy.
Now I just need to work on my bike and I will be a happy girl! At this rate I will not even make the bike cut-off and so my runs will be for nothing! I have not ridden my bike (besides on the indoor trainer) since April!
Woohoo…two posts in one day;-) Well done my friend…you did very well.
on the posts or the run…. 🙂

Whoop! Whoop! You run like the enemy is be-creeping you from be-after, girl!!
Go you! That is fantastic. x
Thank you
Awesomeness!!
Thanks 🙂
I haven’t had a podium in anything since school. Well done. I’m slowly starting to get myself back into exercising and running. Had my first run since the dreaded Knysna no-show the other day.
Well done. Getting back into it is the hardest part!
Well done! Well done! That’s excellent. You should be so proud of yourself.
Thank you I am!
Well done! That is really impressive.
Thanks.
Oh yeah! Well done -it’s fantastic
Thank you.
WOOHOO!! Thats awesome!! Maybe you need to chat to David. He was all pumped for the Iron Man but has now started doubting himself 😦 And is considering pulling out! Have you done one before?
I have done the full on in Port Elizabeth twice, but have not done the 70.3 in East London yet. I am registered to do it for the first time this year. I am more than happy to chat to him! If I could do the one in Port Elizabeth that first time I am sure that he would be able to do. How is his cycling as that is the hardest part – especially the East London one.
