My Jog Around the Seawall

So, I did my 10km race on Sunday around Stanley Park's seawall...it turned out being the first of many cold days we have seen in these parts, and so I started out with layers upon layers of clothes, and muttering under my breath "why in the world am I doing this?". I have to say, it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!

There's something about running with hundreds, or thousands of other people and trying to pass them and getting passed by men in their eighties, or little 8 year old girls, that really spurs you on to go faster. I finished the race in, I believe it was 56 minutes. My goal was to do it in under an hour, and my goal was accomplished! It was awesome.

So, now I'm kind of considering doing a half marathon. Please, nobody hold me to this, but I am thinking about it. I am going to have to see how running in 40 degree weather in Thailand will be before I really commit to anything of that magnitude though.

So it's done. I did it. And I have the t-shirt to prove it!
