Pounding the pavement for migraine
Participating in Auckland Marathon 2024 Migraine Foundation team
Auckland
It's been nearly a year since I had a microdiscectomy for a dodgy L5-S1 disc. I'm tentatively getting back into running after a long hiatus so what better way to keep up the motivation than running for my favourite charity. I may be a bit biased since I'm one of the co-founders, but I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done over the past 2 years. We're still entirely volunteer-run, so fundraising and donations are like gold, and it means we can continue to give a voice to the 753,000 people with migraine.
Please support my efforts to start pounding the pavements again. You'll be supporting an amazing cause and truly making a difference!

Wahoo, longest run so far yesterday! 27 August 2024
Yesterday I achieved my longest running workout this year, according to Apple Fitness. I've been easing back into it to make sure my back is okay so I've been following the couch to 5km training schedule. Yesterday my schedule of run 7 minutes, walk 2 minutes, repeat x 3 saw me achieve the super long distance of 3.72km. Ha! I did warn you it would be baby steps. My next 3 runs are scheduled to be run 8 minutes, walk 2 minutes, repeat x 3, so no doubt I'll crack the 4km mark then. It's all progress though right?
