This is a photo of my sister and I before a fun run last year around June. Mel had just started her fitness kick and challenged herself to 4km and as I had been running a little bit, I ran the 8km. This was our first ever fun run. You are probably wondering how could running be fun? I thought so too, as this fun run, you had to run up a very step hill! I suppose it is the buzz from the people, some are more serious than others and some do it more for the social and charity aspect of it. Most fun runs have a charity edge. Anyway, before the race I challenged myself to run the entire way, it didn't matter how fast but as long as I ran. I managed to succeed in my challenge which was great and I had heaps of fun after as I got together with my new friends and chatted about the course. Next month Mel and I have set ourselves the challenge of a 14.6km run. It is going to be tough as it is you run over a big bridge in the city. I have set myself the challenge to run it in about 1hour and 20 minutes and run the entire way!
Life would be dull without challenges. This blog will show the success and failure of the challenges I set myself.
