My target 110 kms

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the Darkness to Daylight Challenge!

In Australia on average 110 people die from Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) every year.

I’m participating in Darkness to Daylight (D2D) - a 110km run - where each kilometre represents one of those lives lost. It’s a long distance, it’s physically and mentally demanding but knowing the funds raised go towards DFV prevention makes it all worth it. I will be running virtually 110km over the whole month of May... So averaging 3.5km a day and giving it my best effort !

I would very much appreciate your support because together we can end domestic and family violence.

My Updates

over halfway now !

Friday 17th May
i am getting there 1km at a time !!! this week was a little tougher as i am starting to feel a tad sore... i think there is a shin split that's telling me to take a break... and this constant rain is a real mental head f$%! let me tell you !!! i can't remember the last time i enjoyed a pram run in the sunshine w/ my little boy... or any run this week actually !! but us mummas are determined and stubborn AF and we still get out there pounding that pavement w/ all the boys ! chasing those coffees and babychinos @ the finish line ! i am so grateful to my pram run gang !!! CJ told me this week he isn't running w/ me again until it's sunny... i really can't blame him... but once we are caffeinated and sugared up @ the end we forget about how crap it was LOL !! i am over halfway in days, in k's and my $1100 goal !!! so grateful to the support so far and determined to see it through !!! more wet running this weekend to come ! watch this space for more of me bitching about wet pruney feet !!

losing count but gaining k's ! and maybe kg's !!

Monday 13th May
i have lost count of what day i am on... but i woke up this morning feeling great, motivated and inspired !!! i did the early gym class (note: burpees SUUUUUUCK !!! i mean i love burpees 🤪) then a 4km run and dog walk all before 7am !!! i have concluded that carb loading on half a tub of Reece's ice cream the night before clearly is a winning strategy 👌

parkrun park rainy days !!

Saturday 11th May
yesterday i did 3km w/ my beloved $8 kmart head touch in the dark under the 5am stars again... i am really loving these early morning little putters !!! today i was soooooo uninspired to get out and parkrun in pouring "showers" w/ a pram on flat tyres... however it's the getting strated part that's only the worst and hardest part... once you are soaked, cold and moving... CJ chats away and observes newly formed creeks from the rain, makes me appreciate good things and see things from a different perspective and charges up the pram w/ fast mode batteries from raindrops for me as we couldn't find flowers ! we then spent the morning w/ friends playing in the park, my beautiful, kind hearted and generous mum who pays it forward every chance she gets w/ strangers... we learn lessons, still try and teach our children lessons and embrace how fortunate we are to run, breath, live and grow no matter what ! i often catch myself thinking "omg look @ that new wrinkle/bump/lump etc." but you know what ?! every time i think that i think how LUCKY am i to still be here !!! living life and experiencing everything !!! how many others will never get to have this opportunity... i am so fortunate for every year that passes and to have my little boy by my side and show him all the beauty and fortune we have in this world !!! one km and one wrinkle @ a time !!!

run #7 done !

Thursday 9th May
today i tackled a 4km pram run in Gold Coast's finest weather... NOT ! only a few months ago i was whinging about the humidity and burning sun and now it's the constant rain !!! it just doesn't want to let up !! we still got it done though ! CJ's little buddy Mav makes an excellent pace setter on his speedy bike and myself w/ CJ loading up the pram w/ fast mode batteries tried to chase him down !!! we weren't that fast though and the boys shook hands @ the end of a fun little race. despite the weather it was still so good to get out and run ! i then discovered that polly waffles come in a packet of polly waffle bites and i am now currently carb loading for tomorrow's run... that's how you do it right ?! 

another 3km in the bag - done !

Wednesday 8th May
i am trying to stay ahead of the game in case of injury or illness so i have been trying to get ahead of my 110km's where i can. i thought Sunday's long run would bank me a day off which i took... then on Tuesday the rain made a decision for me that i need another day off !! OKAYYYY THEN WEATHER if i have too. ;-p however today i got my A into G and was up in the dark w/ my headtorch again to pound out 3km again. my downfall is that i then decide i have banked enough credits to eat a bucket of chocolate and drink wine... i am just in a constant carb load phase really !!! ha ! i was grateful for a 3km putter and have planned the rest of the week to keep chipping away at some k's each day ! 

Day 4&5 weekend done !

Sunday 5th May
On Saturday i ran my fastest ever 5km parkrun !!! I felt like i was flying !!! On Sunday i ran 16km w/ my wonderful run club #GoldCoastRunNuts !! This will bank me up a few k's in credits i think to have a day off this week... I feel so humbled and grateful to be over halfway to raising my $1100 goal amount !!! Many more km's to go but i am excited to do this challenge and represent this cause ! Thank you all so much who have donated !!!

Day 3 check !

Friday 3rd May
i am 11km in ! so only 99km left ! i also increased my fundraising goal to be $1100 and am almost half way there !!! from friends, long lost friends, colleagues and people i am yet to meet ! i feel so humbled to have their support and also knowing all these funds are going to a great and worthy cause... so THANK YOU ! SO much ! ... thank you. today i flew through 4km... i ran my fastest mile and kilometre !! i feel so lucky to be able to move and run !!! i then went to a TLC gym class, had a beer and then an easter egg. more km's and pavements to pound this weekend... watch this space !

Day 2 also done !

Thursday 2nd May
yay i am on a roll ! lol 2 days ! ha !! Thursday's are my favourite days to run as they usually involve running w/ my little boy in his pram/chariot and our friends and their giant prams and boys... there are fast mode batteries, snack packs, music, chatter, 4x4 mode, monster hunting, a whinge or 2 from kids and/or mums but it's always followed w/ coffees, babychinos and cookies and it fills our souls ! i live for these weekly hangs and pram putters and feel so fortunate to have good people in my life and i love that CJ has some great little buddies too. i so love running w/ CJ, his constant chattermax questions and stories and taking in the world 1km @ a time ! 

Day 1 done !

Wednesday 1st May
I got up early this morning and tackled 3km in the dark w/ my head torch ! The stars were magic and it was a great way to start the day !! 3km down and only 107km !!! My pages are shared and my May challenge has officially begun ! Shout out to Anthony and the Gold Coast Run Nuts for being the first donation to my page ! YEOW exciting !! Appreciate you !!
