Running..running...as fast as you can

My latest obsession is running. My target is to run a full marathon. One day. Maybe not this year's Melbourne Marathon. Maybe next year. It depends.

One of the first events I did was Melbourne's Mother's Day Classic. That day we witness about 20,000 Melburnians participated in the event - 8km, 4km and fun walk. A little background of the event can be found here: Mother's Day Classic.

My official personal best on that day was 28:04.7 wearing bib number 5316. I ran for 4km.
Overall placement was 3296
Age division placement was 561
Gender placement was 2316

So what did I get from this? Purely self satisfaction. Just the knowledge that I have only myself to prove to and my personal best just kept getting better. Motivation by self is far more rewarding than external forces.
I will update more with pictures too.
