    Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me and sponsored me. I got there in the end 😀 Feeling good, a little stiff and only a couple of blisters.

    Might even do it again next year 😉 but for now I'll stick to mastering the 5km I think!

    Team Hawke's Bay are currently at the Halberg Games having lots of fun. I couldn't join them this year as I've had to make a quick trip to the UK for family. But that hasn't stopped my training!

    Keep an eye on the Halberg Foundation Facebook page to see what all the teams have been getting up to! https://www.facebook.com/HalbergFoundation

    So happy to be supporting these amazing kids and this amazing event.

    Hawke's Bay has some awesome cycle trails to run on! Lots of varied paths virtually on my doorstep. Some of these will be part of the Marathon so it's good to get out on bits of the route.

    Lots of work to do, but I will get round however long it takes!

  • First full 5k complete!

    Well the training didn't quite go to plan, but no matter the 5k was done and I'm pretty happy with the ratio of running to walking!

    Next distance to get to is the full 10km which I should hit around Christmas time.

    Still got some work to do to make time for those longer runs as time goes on, but I'm already thinking about mixing up the training, bringing in some strength and mobility work to get that fitness level up as quickly as I can.

    Getting underway took a little bit of effort, but now I'm heading into week 3 of my Couch to 10k app!

    Yes it's slow going but it won't take long to be up to 5km distance!

    First fun run booked in for that milestone!
