Where has the time gone?

This week we are up to a 14km run, I obviously haven't been paying attention becuase I thought we were only up to about 8 or 9km. I find these longer runs my favourite part of the training because they're the most challenging and suddenly it starts to become real. Thankfully we have people who "engery champ" for us at the half way point. This week its my parents Anthony and Denise, it'll be nice to see them there so they can see how hard everyone is working (and also so hopefully one day they will join me in a program)

I'm training with Can Too for Blackmores Sydney Running Festival Half Marathon!

I am training for an event with Can Too, a health promotion organisation that engages and inspires individuals and the community to achieve personal health, wellbeing and altruistic goals.

Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run or swim in endurance events- including 10km, half-marathon and marathon runs; as well as ocean swims and triathlons.

In return, I am raising valuable funds that go towards innovation in the prevention, care and control of cancer. In 2015, Can Too community is funding 14 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!

It’s so much fun which is why I have come back to complete my second half marathon and have encouraged my friends and family to join too so together we can help find a cure.
