Sussan Woman's fun run and Turkish Thyme's contribution

This morning I woke up at the crack of dawn with only 5 hours sleep to do the Sussan woman's fun run starting in St Kilda. The charity was for the Breast Network of Australia of which I'm proud to say that Turkish Thyme cooking school raised $1220.00 to go towards breast cancer awareness.
After a slow breakfast and only 5 hours sleep due the the neighbours partying, I realised I was going to be late so I made my husband ( who I dragged out of bed so he could take some photos) and myself run from home to the start line.. That was 1 km. I had about 2 minutes to rest and then the siren went and off i went. The first 3-4 km I felt I was doing cross country. I'm yet to understand why those who know they are walking choose to go to the front of the line and get in the way. So up and down the curb I went, zig zagging through the crowd like a crazy driver on a 4 lane highway. At about 6km, I got a stitch so slowed the pace but after a minute, I pushed through at a steady pace. Once I hit the 8km mark, I once again took off like I had turbo charged and came accross the finish line at what I thought was an impressive time of 52 minutes and 39 seconds. I came 353 out of 2466 woman.
So I'm quite proud of two aspects of the day, my physical fitness and health but also that Turkish Thyme made such a fabulous contribution to breast cancer awareness.
