I was told I would most likely never be able to walk again after my brain operation, my left leg hasn’t quite come back the same, I have a limp when I run and walk, I have a fair bit of rehab exercises I need to keep up to do these runs but I can walk and run! And I sure did prove them wrong !!
Once I was told I mostly likely will never walk again it became my goal to run a marathon. I trained and ran a half but then i had some babies in the mix so now I’m coming back to do it! I’m hoping to get into Sydney marathon next year to tick off one of my biggest goals. But today I am grateful I can walk, run, skip, jump and be ALIVE 🏃‍♀️🥹 so pumped to be able to run a half marathon this weekend ! What a PRIVILEGE to be able to run! 😭

So 21.1km may not feel like a big deal to many but to me it feels absolutely INCREDIBLE!!

I have the most supportive people on this app😭 I only started it a few months ago to put all my fitness content in one place and have a personal blog, I didn’t realise it would bring such a wonderful community to me! So many local mums that are going to be there running this event too which was just incredible!! If you’re running at @lakemacrunning tomorrow good luck!! We will be the ones at the back 🤭🤭🥰🫶

Today’s session 🏊🏻‍♀️ 1500m ⏰ 29min 52sec 💨 1:59/100m

Couldn’t resist this audio 🤭
Don’t let the stats of this swim fool you though, it felt like I forgot how to swim, my breathing was off, my swim cap kept coming up and my goggles I couldn’t sit them right which made them fill up with water every 50m 😮‍💨. Anyway I got there and actually couldn’t believe my pace for how terrible I thought I was doing. Wuhuuu 1500m in under 30 mins!

Indoor brick session this morning 🌧️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

My FIRST bike-to-run session! 🥹 The rain had other plans for my outdoor training, so we took it indoors today.

15km on the bike straight into a 5km run, and im pretty happy with that effort! ☺️🥰

One step closer to becoming a triathlete, and learning that training for three disciplines is a whole different kind of challenge. 😂🔥

Brick sessions = teaching your legs to run when they’d rather not. 🫠

Triathletes please give me ALL your tips 🤭🥰

One month later we received our half marathon medals in the mail 😅 It wasn’t the same as receiving them at the end of the race which has definitely now unlocked a new fear🤭🤭, but I’m so grateful we eventually got it!! 🥇💛

Post-injury runner to runner 🤝🏃‍♀️

Don’t skip the small muscle training, the accessory work, the boring little exercises that are easy to overlook when all you want to do is run.

Don’t wait until you’re forced to slow down to start paying attention to the little things, it’s so much harder not running than it is injured wishing you did the boring stuff.

Your future running self will thank you. 🤍

I woke up this morning going into this swim with a completely different mindset ! I have been working towards 2,000 for months and I just decided to get out of my own way and do it! Wohooo!!

I used to beat myself up because I couldn’t sit down and meditate. For many years I did and I succeeded but I still never quite loved it.

Which is ironic, because I’m a breathwork and meditation facilitator. I’m a yoga instructor. I’ve practised all of it.

But I have always found stillness hard.

I’d sit there thinking I should be able to do it. I’d compare myself to people who could sit and meditate for an hour and wonder, Why can’t I do that?

And then I accepted that im just someone who loves movement and stillness isn’t for me, I’m a mover.

I constantly need to move my body. I’ve realised that I can find the same place of calm, presence and connection through movement.

For me, breathwork and meditation can look like running, Cycling, Swimming, Lifting weights, Pilates, Yoga & Walking. Moving my body for hours and getting completely lost in the rhythm of it.

People sometimes ask me, “How do you do all that endurance training?”

And I honestly think the same thing in reverse: How do you sit still for that long? 😂

But neither is better.

Some people find meditation through stillness.

Some people find it through movement.

And both are valid.

I’ve finally stopped trying to force myself to be someone who finds peace by sitting still.

I’m a mover. And movement is where I find mine. 🧘🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏊🏼‍♀️
