🏆GRATEFUL🏆

Running a sub 2h30 marathon on a challenging course in crazy, windy conditions was challenging!

The process to get my mind & body ready to run on this course (hilly upfront) in those conditions (ex-tropical cyclone Lola on her way) was a lot of hard work.

I ran nearly 30kms solo, staying in my mental bubble knowing that this was my 3rd attempt at a sub 2h30 Auckland marathon. Now, I respect those who have run sub 2h30 marathons before but the Akl mara course is brutal. 17kms hilly upfront to beat up the legs, quiet roads out towards St. Heliers & the wind can do anything on the day.

The 1st pic is a symbol I drew on my arm 🤜🤛 and I would do the sign to remind myself of that brave moment from Springboks & Damian Willemse to call a scrum in the 22 against France. I told myself that I would need to be brave and back myself and my body when the going got tough.

What a day! What an experience!

Can't wait for next race on 16 Dec but for now, a little R&R is the order of the day.

I am still learning and growing. If I can do it, so can you!

NZ national road relay champs in Christchurch. Awesome event! 68km loop and 8 man team. I am proud of our team even though we didn't achieve our goal this year.

On a personal note, it was nice to do a sub 31 minute 10km PB in a marathon block as I prepare for Auckland Marathon in 4 weeks time!

Thanks 📷
for the photos and well done on your run 🙌.

Thanks coach Ray
for your guidance.

Variety 📋📝🗞️

Running is often used as a metaphor for life due to the many parallels that can be drawn between the two. Endurance and perseverance, obstacles and setbacks, discipline and commitment, balance and goals!

I would add VARIETY and CURIOSITY in there as well! I was too OCD about my training and my goals. And while you must work hard, adding something different keeps things interesting and balanced!

Cross country, time trials, trail runs, fishing, exotic drinks and the like 😁. This base building season has had VARIETY! From filleting fish to home kills (sheep that is 🤣), from exotic drinks to getting lost in the mountains, I have had an eventful base building season.

From July, I RAMP IT UP 💥💥💥

Let's go, let's go.... Holidays over 💪

Running has the remarkable power to transform every aspect of your life, transcending mere physical exercise to become an extraordinary catalyst for holistic well-being. With each stride, your body grows stronger, building endurance and unleashing a vitality that spills over into your everyday existence. But the transformative power of running extends far beyond the physical realm.

As your feet pound the pavement, a profound mental clarity emerges, allowing stress to dissipate and worries to fade away. Your mind becomes a sanctuary, filled with clarity and focus, as running grants you the space to unravel your thoughts and discover new perspectives.

More than that, running cultivates a resilient mindset, one that carries you through the toughest of challenges on the road and in life. The kilometers you conquer become a metaphor for perseverance, teaching you to push through obstacles, embrace discomfort, and realize the extraordinary potential that resides within. With each run, you find yourself embracing a life-changing paradigm shift—a testament to the incredible power of running to elevate your physical, mental, and mindset to astonishing heights.

I am still learning and growing. If I can do it, so can you!
