Marathon Completed Last Sunday :)
15 October 2026
Hello everyone,
Many thanks for all of your support over the last 6 months. Running the last 5-6kms was absolute torture but I was able to have a random running buddy keep me in good spirits while my calves were seizing up. Candace spotted me and we supported each other and chatted and walked for the last leg of the run. Below is a pic of us high-fiving and celebrating the finish line in 4hrs 29 min (quite a long way off my training plan and time goal but I got to the end!). I was stoked to be greeted by family at the end and to receive my medal, optional banana, and bottle of gatorade.
Your support from near and far helped me through this training block and we raised over $2500 for rainbow youth in Auckland and Perth.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart and I've learned that half marathons are much more doable (and enjoyable?!). I am happily resting for a few more days before even considering tying up my laces and running again.
