I Fought the Tan

And I won!!!

As you read in my last entry, I was planning on a run this weekend.  Well, as soon as Bryan and Merilyn read that, I got a text from Merilyn saying "we are picking you up at 6:50AM".  They have been running the Tan on the first Saturday of the month with the Melbourne Runners group for 15 years.

Here is my ride - Bryan and Merilyn pick me up.

So, my alarm went off at 6:30 and by 7:00 I was at the Tan in the dark and cold.



My nemesis has been that darn long, big hill.  But not today.  Not only did I run the whole thing but I passed two 90 year old men on the hill!  In your face!

Technically, the Tan is less than 4k but I am calling it 4k at this point.  My time was a VERY SPEEDY 35 minutes.  My previous 4k times were in the 38-40 min timeframe.

Bryan and I celebrate our victory!

*Americans, the Tan is the Melbourne Botanical Gardens.  Very beautiful.
