May was the month of aura farming.

Movement in May was probably one of my favourite seasons (so far).

This month really proved to me that movement comes in all different types of ways, it’s not just running or walking, and it looks different for everyone. But movement together, is movement more enjoyed.

So here some magical moments from my May, which were super memorable to me.

1. Running and walking around every street and suburb in Singapore, with days filled with local delicacies. Running in Singapore was challenging given the heat and humidity, but as a runner it’s all part of the long term training. I also snuck in two classes at @barryssingapore , because nothing beats the red room. Kms ran in May: 354km
2. Spicy Shoelace Club: this month we had three events and I find so much joy in encouraging people to come together and move their bodies. Moving your body, especially in new, expressive, or public ways requires a deep level of trust and vulnerability, and I’m so grateful to have created a little club that allows people of all ages in life to feel comfortable and safe to do so. Getting messages post our events saying “we didn’t have any motivation to come, but after our walk/run I felt so good”. This makes me the HAPPIEST.
3. Tuesday mornings with the @miscproduct crew is truly some of the best mornings anyone could experience, and you have to be there to feel the energy.
4. COMMUNITY: Joined a crazy triple threat challenge that @southaucklandrunclub was hosting, and BOY, the daily challenges were INSANE, but THE BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY that I got to meet and get inspired by. UNREAL, on days when I thought a 24km run was enough, people are pulling through with 40-50km runs.
5. Wings for Life: I am just SO HAPPY I got to participate in such a prestigious event with the community of Auckland. What a beautiful event the @redbullnz team had put on.
6. I wasn’t as consistent as the gym, but I got in some really key sessions this month, and also got to experience some great classes at @lesmillsnewlynn

There’s so much to celebrate from yesterday’s race, and so many magical moments were created in this training block.

My family celebrated 25 years of calling NZ home this month, so this course was a special course for me. Running on Tamaki drive, a place where I’ve created so many memories, was my way of honouring the sacrifice my immigrant parents made 25 years ago, for the betterment of our family, and I’m so grateful to call NZ my home, a country that’s given us heaps.

Yesterday’s run, was a celebration of THE BEST 12 week training block I had the opportunity to do with the @miscproduct group. Coached under @david.2me, his wise words of wisdom, his humbleness and his passion and love for this sport, truly makes you realise that running is more than a sport. It’s a celebration of a community, it’s a celebration of people coming together from all walks of life, running together no matter what your pace is.

When your legs give up, all you can rely on is your mind, and yesterday’s run was fuelled by the memories created these last 12 weeks. This block I trained by effort, not pace. Running suddenly became FUN all over again, and I learnt so much more about the beauty of this sport. There were days when I got humbled, days with some PBs, and moments where I was shocked at how much my body can do… and days when I’d cry about not having work life balance, more importantly days where I was incredibly grateful to have this beautiful group I get to train with. Last week has been an emotional roller coaster with the block coming to an end.

Yesterday was also a celebration for myself, my journey and for my community. You don’t see many Indians running, let alone girls. Yesterday was purely dedicated to the younger me, to my community because if I can go from being overweight, to running a 1:36:23 half marathon yesterday, if I can run, anyone can!!!!

To anyone that cares about paces (I think I’ve stopped caring) I had a chip time of 1:36:23, averaging at 4:34 kmph. A pace I had only dreamt about.
