Doing a Marathon or half

I don't think you're butting in! I just jumped in too, with my 5 cents worth!

Official time is 2:14:01 - much less than 2:20 - clearly I looked at the clock wrong. Very sore today though! Looking forward to the June one now so that I can better my time (I hope). Will need more runs up Mt Vic though!

smw85 - nope, I didn't even run it!!! I had exams on the week leading up to the race and thought it might be sensible not to commit to running a half marathon when i was anticipating late nights studying.

Pity I didn't use the same common sense this semester - 3 papers, working full time + working part time in hospo to support DF during the world cup was not the smartest decision I've ever made. Sure enough, I'm here today, procrastinating over my final assignment (already a day late...)

Ladies, this morning I ordered my wedding dress!! Is very exciting, but I also now have the motivation to lose 5kg or so - best way is by getting back into running. So, is there anyone in Wellington City keen to meet up for a run? I'm currently running 6kms in just over 35 minutes, though I can run faster, I'm just lazy. Just looking for a bit of a training buddy - would be either evenings or early mornings, which I know can be hard for people with children.
