long run

I was a little apprehensive about todays run as it was 80 minutes and i've been sick and the last long one was 70 minutes 2 weeks ago. but in the end i did it and didn't feel like i was going too slow.

i headed down oxford st and into the city and through hyde park. i did the turn at the end very slowly because i ran into the half marathon people and wanted to see if i recognised people! i saw CR plu in his yellow and blue finery but didn't yell because i was a little far away. i was very jealous of everyone running and one day hope to give it a whirl!

After that i headed back up to taylor square and down around moore park and into centennial park where i did an inner circuit which brought me to 80 minutes - still alive and with a little bit of energy left! hurray!! who knew i could run for over an hour, let alone 80 minutes!! what a revelation. next weekend is an hour and a half though - which seems like a REALLY long time!!!

congrats to everyone who ran the half - sounds like there were some great results and a lot of fun.
