I had the pleasure of sharing with the Rotary Club

I had the pleasure of sharing with the Rotary Club of Wandin tonight, and although it was online it was so great to chat with like minded people who care for our community! 🙌

I shared about the amazing work of @bridgebuildersyouth and how we are helping our young people through this crazy season 💙

They also asked lots of questions about the @worldmarathonchallenge777, like why would I attempt such a huge challenge?! 🏃‍♀️

What a fabulous night, thanks for having me! 🙏

There. Is. Always. HOPE. Always.

Challenging times come and go, but that’s hard to remember while you’re in the midst.

When it hurts, when it’s hard and when the dark nights are long…there is always hope, sometimes we just have to hold on a little tighter.

No matter what you did today, the sun will rise tomorrow. Hope helps you believe in your tomorrows.

What a GROOVY night! 🕺☮️✌️

It’s not everyday you get the chance to dress up and have boogie! (Well, not these days anyway)

I had a fabulous night ripping up the dance floor and partying the night away with great friends, celebrating @philsteny birthday 🎉

Life’s to short.
Get up and dance.

It’s never easy to say goodbye, and it’s only goodbye for now.

Yesterday, we gathered to honour the life of @jack.__.allen

A day of heartache over his loss, and celebration of all that he was. He was loved by so many, and we will all cherish our memories with him.

One year ago today, as I stood at the finish line of the @worldmarathonchallenge777 I realised that dreams really do come true 💫

With the medals around my neck, and the Aussie 🇦🇺 raised high above my head, I smiled knowing that if it’s possible for me, it’s possible for you 👊

Courage really does come first.

I toed the start line in Cape Town as the young girl from Mt Evelyn, and I emerged in Miami, triumphant. I am now an Australian Athlete, a World Marathon Challenge finisher and a young woman who conquered the World. I am so proud of myself, and I know in my heart I have been able to help so many people along the way 💜

Thank you for believing in me, for your encouragement and for having my back. The success of one, is the success of many 🙏

I only hope that when you think about your future, that you not only dream big but that you also have the courage to try.

(We did a reunion call as participants this morning and it was amazing to have the tribe back together, still can’t believe it’s been 1 year ago already!) 🙃

Well here we are, Brazil - MY FAV. Yep, you read that right. My favourite marathon. You may not think that running a 6th consecutive marathon in as many days could be the best one, but that’s the beauty of not knowing until you try 🙋‍♀️

The one thing that stands out (which I’m sure would be the same for all of the participants) was the HEAT. It was hot, like really hot. I’m talking running bare foot through a car park hot. The heat you can literally cook eggs on 🥵🥵🔥🔥

Anyway, I had a marathon to run so here we go. A drink bottle in one hand and a wet sponge in the other. I walked and ran and walk and ran - with @ironyogi14 @aliciakletter and @jennrunstheworld It was a team effort 🏃‍♀️

And I LOVED EVERY MINUTE. Take me back to that race any day. Sunshine, blue skys, sandy beach and salty air. It was 36 degrees Celsius, very humid and I was smiling the whole way. Who would have thought? 🤷‍♀️

✨ they tell you to count your lucky stars, but it my experience it has nothing to do with luck (it’s called hard work, baby!) ✨

It’s midnight, and we’re preparing to complete marathon 5 in the dark. (4 of the first 5 were at night, due to schedule changes) I chose to run with @jennrunstheworld , and she’s a warrior, let me tell you! 🙌

5 marathons deep into the 777, I’m tired, sore and trying to convince myself this one will be easier (Pretty sure marathon and easy don’t go together) ❌

I vividly remember, sometime during the race looking up and seeing a star-filled Spanish night sky, and thinking just how grateful I am to be here, to have this opportunity 🙏

It was of course, a tough race but by now tough is part of who I am. We encouraged each other, we challenged each other and we made it! 👏

(Oh, and here’s a photo pre race of me thinking about post race food) (also, my knee falling apart)

To be honest, when we arrived in the U.A.E I didn’t know what day it was 🙃

We were on our own timeframe, and local time was irrelevant. We only had one task, show up and get it done. In the humid and sticky conditions, on the sticky green path and at midnight in Dubai, I began my quest to do exactly that 🏃‍♀️

Marathon 4 was all mental challenges for me, of course I was hurting physically, and my injured toe (from the Antarctic) was only getting worse, so it was about facing the mental barrier and pushing every step of the way, even though my body was spent 🥵

Alone, but never really alone and under the midnight sky I moved closer to the finish line and with every step mental toughness was being built into my mind 🧩

Lesson learned: Thank you Dubai, for being the half way point in the @worldmarathonchallenge777 and for teaching me that I am strong beyond words 💪

🌻A true partnership is two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other 🌻

After windy conditions in Cape Town, and a brutal 7 hours out on course in the Antarctic, it’s fair to say I was exhausted 😴

I was excited to be on home soil and tried my best to start the race well. At the half way mark I was totally spent, and the battle was raging between my body and my mind. I am truly thankful for @lcarrier4486 , as she run beside me every step of the way. It might not have been perfect, but it was a true partnership and I’m truly grateful for her support 💜

Lessoned learned: don’t be afraid to ask for help or rely on others to support you when you need it.

It’s so hard to describe what happened that day, but let me try and as I take you to the bottom of the earth 🌏

Running a marathon is a difficult task in itself (which I would encourage every person to consider doing once in their lifetime) completing 42.2kms, or 26.2miles on ice, in whiteout conditions, facing gale force winds, while enduring sub-zero temps and in between 6 other marathons is an entirely different concept altogether. One that made me questions everything I knew about myself and our capacity as humans ❄️💨

The only thing I can say without a shadow of doubt is that even though the conditions never relented that day, neither did I. No matter how tough life gets, never give up. Ever.

To my fellow 777 participants - I know every inch of that course we fought on, and no matter what the outcome for you, I am so damn proud of the courage it took for us to show up that day 💚

And what a plane! The ilyushin il-76 was a very unique way to fly South. And massive kudos to the amazing and highly skilled Russian pilot and flight crew, who got us their and back safely 🙏

Lesson learned: tough times don’t break you, they make you.

The first day of the competition was a whirlwind! In these videos, you’ll begin to get some insight into how crazy it was, as we simply tried to get started! 🙃

Within the first 24hrs we had driven to a from an airport, had a false start to the Antarctic, had luggage left on a plane, waited many hours for instructions, had the plans changed on us multiple times and finished with us starting the 777 on a different continent! 🤪

Lesson learned: stay flexible, always.

When I walked into the room at the race HQ I knew I was amongst my tribe. I didn’t know it yet, but these unfamiliar faces would soon become my close friends 💙

It was on that night when @richarddonovan7 handed my race bibs to me, that I realised my dreams had come true! I was about to represent my country in a global marathon event! 🌏🇦🇺

Swipe 👈 to check out the awkward moment I turned my back on Richard thinking it would make for a cool photo! Ha, silly me! 🤦‍♀️

On the first day I arrived in Cape Town I was greeted with a friendly face @lcarrier4486 and I had no idea just how much of a blessing she would be! 😇

We toured around the beautiful city for two days, exploring the colour and culture of a wonderful place! 🇿🇦

I even stumbled upon a @bni.global sign, oh and here is a picture of me in a bird cage!! 🕊🤷‍♀️

Lesson learned: when travelling, get out and explore everything that you can - you never get the same moment twice and you never know when you’ll be back! (I wanted to go on a safari but I didn’t do it; now that we are unable to travel, I wish I did!)

This week I’ve begun to see photos and videos from my fellow @worldmarathonchallenge777 2020 participants, as they share their memories of our time together, and I’m still not sure how to put the experience into words! 📝

I’ve decided to take you on the journey with me, so over this next week I’ll be sharing some of the footage with you, the hard times, the easy bits and everything in between 🙃

If you need a little encouragement right now (or even just some laughs!) follow along 👇

This is me, unceremoniously balling my eyes out just before the flight to Cape Town, it was the moment it finally felt real. And of course my amazing team!! 💚

Enjoy!

Completed my first ever Two Bays 28km today!! 🙌

Goodbye 2020, hello 2021.

Can I encourage you, as you look back on the year and realise how difficult it may have been;
👉 appreciate what you have
👉 appreciate yourself for how far you’ve come

With all the highs and lows I’ve experienced, from completing a marathon in the Antarctic to enduring months iso, I’m learning to do the same 💜

And remember, you are incredible and you have a lot to give - your best is yet to come! 🙌

💫 Rest In Peace, Nana 💫

Thursday’s as a child wouldn’t have been the same without a trip to Nana’s place. She was a great cook, a creative seamstress and always encouraging. She was incredibly generous and a loyal conductor of her local church choir.

Nana was also the best organ player I ever met, still playing at 93.

I love you Nana and you are forever in my heart 💜 you are with Pa now.
