So two big things have happened over the last week.

#1 I ran the city 2 surf today. It's a fun run in Sydney, we had 75000 people there today. It's a 14km run that I've been wanting to run forever, my dad used to run it, my brother has run it a few times, my grandad still runs it and my aunt used to run it. So you can see it's sort of a family thing. Plus I used to be decent at long distance during the middle of high school, but dropped off until about December last year when I took up running again.

So crossing that line today was an incredible feeling, as it was a long term goal from the fitness initiative thread to get to this race and complete it.

I think now I'm going to move on from running for a bit, as I've been running fairly regularly since December and want to change it up a little. Looking at taking up cycling again.

#2 Teaching, this is my 4th year of uni and they decided they needed a tutor for web design, in the interaction design studio we run. I was only supposed to be helping out with tutorials on thursday and friday but the friday tutorial didn't cover everything the students need to know for assignment 1 and the tutor went home. So I gave a tutorial in the lab time to the students on css layout techniques, making it up as I went, and it was such an awesome feeling to see the passing of knowledge, and seeing them understand it etc.

There's no real point to this blog I guess, more of me recounting some stuff that I thought was cool recently, however if anyone here has run the city 2 surf in Sydney, or was even there today, do speak up

i do the city to surf sometimes too, didnt do it this year though. i probably shouldve cos my house is literally like 10 mins from the finish line

btw you should consider doing swimming, it doesnt fuck your knees up + swimmer body > runner body!

what uni you go to? most of the tutorial teachers in my classes are 4th years or honor students (i go to unsw).

You should have! It took me 1.5 hours to get home haha definitely take advantage of that. I go to USYD (4th year, honours student) and I did look into swimming about 6 months ago (prices, times you can do laps etc) and it clashed really badly with some other stuff I had going, might give it a shot again.

heh css layout techniques :s not much of a fan of website design but more about the technologies behind it all... (apache web servers, cgi, ssi, jpa, jsp etc).

Was thinking of doing the city to surf as well this year, but had other engagements arranged a long time beforehand... I am not much of a distance runner or runner of any sort, the cardio work I do mainly is just walking back from uni (UOW) and 4.5km on the crosstrainer (takes me about 30 mins )after my weight workouts

I couldn't make it this year, but was actually looking forward to it. Even though since the Canberra marathon I've gotten quite lazy

On a related note this is a quote from the SMH 2 days ago:
"Michael Jackson, Bruno and Batman are all expected to run the Sydney City 2 Surf this year, in what will be the world's largest run in 2009, organisers say"

Uhh...

This is only the beginning heh, by the end they should know python for backend, html/css/js for frontend along with all the interaction design theory (This course is one of our design studios, is the equivalent of 2 subjects)

Beauty of the run is that anyone can participate, so many people walk it, there's nothing wrong with taking a break to walk in the middle of the run to recuperate either, it's only a fun run after all Maybe next year.

I'm not sure what time I got exactly, but it was somewhere between 85 and 92. I didn't see the clock as I crossed the beginning line (staggered starts, with these small tags you attach to your shoelace). I'll find out on tuesday what it was exactly. I didn't get to train half as much as I was hoping over the past month so next year I'll aim for 75-80 or something.
