Huge run!

Such a fantastic day :) Me and the bloke went for lunch as it was such a beautiful day today. Then he went for his run and swim, and I went for mine (run. Not swim lol)!

I ran/walked 8.3km in one hour. For other people, this will seem like a very slow run. They are right lol but it was lots of fun :) I did push myself, and I did walk a bit which only shows that I can improve!

One thing really pissed me off though, when I ran past Relay for Life. If you're not from New Zealand, this is a charity/sponsored relay that lasts 24 hours to raise funds for the cancer society. Loads of people in my town get behind it and heaps of people go. I ran past the venue today, and I didn't even know it was on! Haha I was like why are there all these cars at the Uni when it's a Saturday?? haha.

But then, I ran past these two ladies, sitting outside the event, wearing t-shirts that read "Healthcare Hobbits" AND THEY WERE SMOKING. AT AN EVENT THAT RASIES FUNDS FOR, AND AWARENESS OF CANCER. What the hell??!! Not only that, but they were representing A HEALTHCARE GROUP!!! It got me incredibly rilled up. How despicable and disgusting. I pray that they have the strength to quit! If you're a smoker, good luck on your path to quitting!

On a happier note, I'm using myfitnesspal heaps!! It makes me think "Oh, don't eat that you won't be able to find it on the website" hahaha and "Ohh I wish I'd had water at lunch instead of that smoothie 'cos now I have to have a small dinner!" lol Can't wait to hit my goal and say "All the hard work has paid off!" which is definitely a mantra of mine lol woohoo!
