The Women's 5k was today and we made it despite the rain! There were over 2000 entrants, and it took us over a minute just to get over the start line! We started out a bit faster than we usually walk - a bit hard not to with so many people, and I had shin splints from the first 100m until about half way! We ended up doing it in around 42 minutes which was great.
It's a bit off putting seeing so many already past half way come back past you though- luckily this photo was as we were doing the second half - heading back up St John Street!
Rebecca Gibney spoke before the race, and seemed genuinely thrilled to be a part of it.
Jessica Marais (Rachel Rafter!) was there also
She is tiny - very thin and gorgeous!

They both signed hundreds of autographs - what a job signing the backs of sweaty women!!!
It was a great morning - nice to have something to work towards and especially for such a great cause!
I plan to run it next year!
