2nd run – I did it!

On-going training with Marty is still paying off!

My second run was 5.5k and was part of the Melbourne Marathon (run to the G) and  so great, ended up on the ground at the MCG.

From Jayne – Race report from Sunday…… I feel so sorry for the guys that did the half and full marathons it was warm muggy and windy. I managed to finish without walking in a time of 38.54. I was disappointed with this but I think finishing was my main goal.

I would like however to say I couldn’t have done it without my running partner dragging me from about 3K when the legs and breathing gave out. He was running up the hills backwards yelling encouragement. I completely screwed his hopes of a good time but he stuck with me until we got into the G Without him I would probably ended up walking and very annoyed with myself. I am now very determined to get back into training and fulfil my goal of running a half next year.

I must say if you had told me in March I would have had trouble running 5k I would have laughed but an injury, no training, a holiday and extra weight really hampers froward progress. I have been looking at the cool runnings web site and have found it really inspirational so onward with the training……

Jayne…..very slow but very sure
