Time on my feet

Today was all about time on my feet. I wasn't trying to run the whole distances, in fact my average pace was 9.42!!!! All up about one hour and 45 minutes. I went through Kings Park but along the river side. I think next time I'll take the inner route. There are a set of stairs up to Kings Park which thankfully I was coming DOWN on this run. But I might try and incorporate them going UP in the next few weeks.I came home along the river and the Perth City triathlon was on. There were hundreds of cyclists but it has only served to confirm that I am a runner and not a cyclist. It might be different because it was a race but they were aggressive ("Get out of my f***ing draft!" - to another cyclists, not to me!!) and very competitive. Lots of huffing and puffing and not too many people enjoying themselves! I've yet to see a running race so I can't really talk! But it was still very exciting and inspirational.

There were a couple of larger ladies plodding along as I came onto the path, so I ducked in front of them with the idea that I would see how long it took for them to overtake me. It looked like they were barely moving, and one of them looked particularly uncomfortable. I am afraid to say I was overtaken very quickly and I had no hope of catching up. I can only think that if they LOOKED slow then I must look SHOCKING!!! Sigh. Just more motivation.
