8th year

havent been home since 730am. just arrived home from a long tiring day, or run i shld say.
today was the 8th year i think (according to my cousin) to run in the City2Surf. woke up early then went to city via train with relatives to hyde park where the race normally begins. had macdonalds breakfast then got to the starting area where there were heaps of other ppl gettn ready.

started at 945am, jogged sum bits then walkd then jog then walk for practically the whole 14km. we split up near the beginning so i was with my sister and cousin for the rest of the race. this year was ok i spose but lots of wasted energy. my 9 year old cousin was gettn tired constantly so couldnt jog as fast and as much. spent like 1/3 walkn when we shld have run == but couldnt leave him bhind. by the 10th km he could run but by now my legs started cramp bcoz they were tense from jus walkn, i shld have jus ran b4 ==. so ended up walkn practically most of it this yr evn tho i felt that i could have run at least 2/3. got a silver medal this time, lol. finished with 2hrs 6min according to my watch (the actual race time says 2hr 32 min, but i used my stopwatch more accurate XD) went to the free hotel buffet place that ppl from coca cola get to go to (coz my grandpa works there, tho next year we cant go to it anymore coz he retired this yr). Ate so much n had like 3 bottles of powerade, 2 ice cream things, lots of bread n butter, a plate of steak, sum potato and pork. my stomache probly going to b aching 2moro.

then long walk to car and got driven to grandparents home. listnd to sisters mp3 on the way. when we got there had more icecream and pasta. took a shower then slept while listn to sisters mp3. woke up and we went to chinese restaurant for dinner. then back to grandparents house and more icecream. then at arnd 10 we went home. so much icecream today, this years run was kinda wasted, shld have run more, next year going to solo it so can get better time. im stuffed for english and eco, didnt get to prepare for anything. oh well time to cram ><
