mad man on the run
Well, somewhat crazy at least.
Tomorrow is the Gold Coast Airport Marathon, and I’m participating in the 10km run. The run starts at 9:30 am on the Gold Coast Highway in front of Australia Fair shopping centre. My aim, to beat Rhino. In truth I’ll be happy if I just finish without collapsing and having a fatal athsma attack.
Each year my work encourages us to participate. Last year we took out the largest corporate entry award. I didn’t run last year. Last year I did the 7.5Km walk with my darling daughter on my back (all 11.5 kg of her) and my wonderful fiance by my side.
I’ve done no training. None at all. Unless you consider looking at the Marathon website to be training. I have done hardly any physical activity like this in the last 3-4 years so my chances of actually completing are, in truth, pretty slim. I’d like to think that I can do it, and indeed I’ll be happy to just complete the run, even if I don’t beat Rhino.
