Run to Finish has been hosting monthly challenges for 2012. April is all about fun. So, I decided to sign up and take the challenge. A bit of fun and laughter never hurt, in fact it’s one of the best things that you can do for your mind and body. Just a moment of laughter can elevate your mood, why not add a burst every day of the month.
This challenge should be easy, but me, who is serious way too often according to my loved ones, is signing up for a month of fun. April is also my birthday month and so it feels right to make it the month of having a jolly good time whatever that may mean.
So, I started the month of fun with an 8km Fun Run at the Runaway Bay Sports Super Centre which race 2 of the 5 races that lead up to the Gold Coast Marathon. The we indulged in a Nando’s lunch, made a vegetarian dinner and fruit dessert, and now I’m going to enjoy a few of my favourite chocolates – Guylian Seashells. And the best thing about it all is that I’m doing all these things with my other half.
I got to say though, the run this morning was tough. My endurance is fine but my speed is atrocious. I’ve been getting puffed too easily lately so it’s time to work on my intervals. I ran the 8km in 41:30 and I was definitely not impressed.
