Lions Fun Run Walk

On the 13 of march, I participated in the Lions Fun Run Walk. As part of my WPCA, I have to compete in a 10km organised Fun Run. The Lions Fun Run was 12km. Why do I always do the harder stuff, why oh why. 

Anyway, the Lions Fun Run sounded interesting so I decided to give it a go.

Before we started, a lady took us all through some basic stretches, and then the man in the high vis vest gave the command, and we were off. 12km doesn’t sound like a long way, but trust me, when you’re out there doing it, it feels like 12 miles.

For the first few km, I was feeling pretty good, but after a while I began to feel the sweat beading on my forehead, and I noticed that I was getting slower, but I kept on going, telling myself things like “nearly there” or “just put one foot in front of the other” and before I knew it, the finishing line was in sight. I forced my aching muscles to go even faster and propelled myself across the finishing line.

I then staggered across to a table to get my certificate and my free ice block. When I looked down at my certificate I noticed that they had included my time. 1hr 19mins. Wow, pretty impressive for 12km.
