On Sunday, I took part in the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run 2007! Instead of fun run, I walked the 12km and now, I am now punished with a slight limp and muscle aches all over my body like an old woman wobbling with the aid of a walking stick :-) Oh, I am getting old and not as agile as I used to be!!!!
Whilst the run started on a chilly morning (under 10C) at 6:50am, it didn't stop the 30,000 participants including myself, in all forms of fitness from stepping on the start line with little half-opened eyes but with determinations! Perhaps it was the chill that morning that woke us all up?
The walk was full of colours as many matches their costumes with the sense of spirit. One walker in front of me had a top on with "feeling like shits". I certainly hope that wasn't a true reflection of her feelings on the day of the fun run? Others participated in corporate-sponsorships and therefore displayed clever slogans to promote their businesses such as "Simplicity Funeral - we are 'on the run' because we know where the bodies are hidden." Others merely showed up in Star Wars themes for reasons I can't fathom. Nonetheless, I applaud for the effort they put into the fun run. For others including myself, it's just ordinary plain t-shirts and shorts (turning up at 6am in a pair of shorts was a crazy idea but proven sensible as the day warms up!)

Nonetheless, it turned out to be a brilliant and sunny day finished with a sense of achievement and for being part of a good cause. Also, I thought after 12km walk, I deserve to reward myself with a yummy fried breakfast (albeit a little too unhealthy after all that hardwork!) I didn't care - I very well deserve it!
