Registering for the Run For The Kids event was one step closer to achieving a personal goal. Then came the training session and the charity. Amber and I managed to raise AUD$608 for the Royal Children’s Hospital charity.

$608.00 – I’m absolutely stoked!

I ran for the kids 5km for the very first time. It was easier than I expected. Maybe the Nike training sessions prepared me well. Route was easier. Adrenaline rush of about 12k people. Had fun running with bestie Amber.

When I reached, the clock said 35 minutes, but it took me a while to get to the starting line so I probably finished the run in under 35 mins? Feeling really good today, no muscle aches. Thank you Nike run leaders, fellow run mates, friends, and family who donated, thanks for the tips, motivation and inspiration. I know I’ll move on to bigger things next.

I’m joining the 10km run on 15 July 2012 – the Run Melbourne. Then, I’ll join next year’s Tough Mudder on 16 or 17 February 2013 and then some time later Amazing Race Asia 2014 perhaps with Josiah – if it exists!

Nothing is impossible, right?

For now, I’ll focus on my pole dancing competition in June.

Update: My Results

5.2km – my time was 33.23 minutes and I came in 2,746 out of 10,481 total finishers.
