My target 940 kms
I am doing it!
I am for being active, setting myself a goal and kicking it! You can support my endeavour by donating to one of my favourite charities, RSPCA QLD.
I am going to do it!
42km for 42 years, I'm Fundraising and participating in Gold Coast Marathon in July 2024, first marathon in my life! For those who know me, I have never been athletic/ sporty. Inspired by my life partner who said he will run alongside me, I am committing myself to this challenge.
My training program over the next 18+ weeks requires me to run over 940+km to condition my body for race day. I am hoping to raise $2 for every km I run. All funds will go to a much loved charity - RSPCA QLD to support the animals and wildlife in need.
Your support and encouragement to keep me on track to support a great cause will be much appreciated. Please click through to donate.
Keep running!!
RSPCA QLD rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes animals across the state, caring for over 52,000 animals every year. It is the only charitable body responsible for investigating and prosecuting cruelty cases within Queensland, with the Inspectorate receiving over 17,800 reports of cruelty last year. RSPCA QLD care for wildlife, domestic and farm animals, providing a safe space for animals with less than 3% government funding annually.
Together we can make a difference in the lives of the animals of Queensland. Thank you!
My Updates
960km completed
Sunday 7th Jul After pounding the pavement for 4+ months, my training pulled me through the Gold Coast Marathon, completing the 42.2km course at 5.5 hours. I'm so glad and honoured to be doing this for the animals at RSPCA Qld and grateful for the loads of support I've received on behalf of the animals in need. ❤️
Home Stretch
Tuesday 25th Jun I'm on the home stretch! 840km and 100 runs down, 100km to go! I have surprised myself. Thanks to all the support and encouragement to keep me going. Almost there!
30km unlocked
Sunday 16th Jun OMG, I pushed and did 30km today. Last long run before the big day. Now I just have to trust my body and my grit.
Struggle 27km today
Saturday 1st Jun It was a tough run today. It took alot out of me to complete the run. I felt every muscle in my legs screaming for help. I'm glad I finished it.
>440km done...
Tuesday 14th May Over the halfway point. I was on the verge of giving up on my weekend run when my husband reminded me that the animals are rooting for me and my supporters are cheering me on... I have to persevere. My so-called long runs (10km) are now my weekday before-work morning runs. It hasn't been easy trying to train, work full time and be a mum but I am #determined :).
25km unlocked - my longest run ever
Monday 6th May Week 9, halfway mark of my training and made it through my first 25km run. 🥵 it's my milestone and a few more of these to come. Thanks for much for the support and encouragement to date.
Week 5 Training completed
Sunday 7th Apr Survived 5 weeks of endurance training. It's 6x a week running now. Finished today with a 10km hilly run on Jeju volcanic Island. That's hill training! 167km and more to go
First run in Seoul, Korea
Friday 29th Mar No rest for the wicked!
Back to running
Thursday 21st Mar This morning was a bit of a mental push to get me going. Not 100% recovered from my cold. Every cough was hurting my chest muscles but the fresh, clean, morning air cleared out my lungs. Was good to be up and back to groove.
Humbled
Tuesday 19th Mar I'm incredibly humbled by the generous support everyone has given me. It makes running the next km even more worthwhile.
Week 1 warm up training completed
Sunday 10th Mar Warm up training week with a few slow short runs and 7km on Sunday. Just over 40km completed.Thank you to my Sponsors
