Run to Heal - Fundraising for Starship Foundation.

19/02/2025

Not long until the first event of the year!

Apologies on being MIA for a couple of weeks there. Work has gotten very busy all of a sudden so posting here has fallen to the wayside. I have been squeezing in a few light sessions where possible and have recently upgraded the home gym so there will be some good muscle building happening as well as running.

Fitbit was still telling me to take it easy so I just did a 20min 2km power walk. Almost slipped into old habits and was going to skip it but these posts have been very helpful at keeping me honest.

Rest day today. Possibly been pushing myself a little hard. I'm absolutely shattered. It's been a busy week on all fronts. Early bedtime and see what tomorrow brings.

Running with Blacksmith Run Club today! Fastest I think I've done this side of New Years. Really looking forward to seeing my improvements over the next few months! Although I must have cut a couple of corners because I'm just shy of the 5km😅🫣

Rest day today. Had DD's first day at school so was spending time with her. Run Club tomorrow. Hoping to do the 5km loop if situations allow. Fingers crossed for a RC 5k PB!

Legs a bit tender from yesterday's hike so this morning a did a little full body yoga session on my yoga app I've restarted. Again just easing in to get the routine set first.
For the kids!

Aaaaanndd my timing is off. 🫣😅
I did manage to get out today. Did the Suspension Bridge Loop in Hunua today. Such a beautiful walk but sooooooo many stairs! 4.35km in around 1.5-2hrs. Had a couple snack/water breaks as DD and little dog came along.
Don't forget to spread the word and donate to a great cause!

Hey Everyone! Sorry I immediately fell off the wagon. Have been trying to work on a new home life routine based around changed work hours and getting my little one ready for her first year at school!
Last week I managed a total of about 12km but this week so far is only 1.8km. I do have a walk/hike planned for today so will post about that later.
I will try post daily updates on my upcoming events and how my training is going. Updates will get posted around 8-9pm NZ time as I wind down from the day. I'm really hoping to make more of a difference this year for Starship this year!

I have made the first donation to help get the ball rolling. Last year with 60km for Starship we managed to raise $500! Let see if we can beat that this year!
I will be running the fundraiser until a few weeks after my last run which is sometime in September. Unless I get a crazy idea to sign up for something else. 🤪

I'm so excited for 2025! New Fundraiser New Challenges.
2x Half Marathons (21km) 6x 10km aaaaaaandd..... my first ever FULL MARATHON(42km)!!!
Recently invested in a treadmill at home and joined a weekly running group so no excuses for missing runs unless genuinely physically can't!
I am Fundraisering for Starship Foundation again because they do amazing things to help the children of New Zealand. I have witnessed it on many occasions which include my little sister, my boss's daughter and more recently a cousins child.
Please help me help the kids!
