Last 2 weeks

So my last two weeks of training have been pretty shit.  I was sick for 8 weeks and just as I think I'm getting better the crap has come back and is settling again in my lungs.  Not being able to breathe makes running and cross training pretty difficult.  I saw a specialist yesterday and have a new inhaler so I'm hopefully this coughing and wheezing will end soon.  I'm getting really worried that my training is going to be seriously impacted by all this sickness.  Uggh!!!

First Saturday Run

Goodbye Saturday morning sleep-ins and hello week one of half marathon training. Only 13 more weeks to go!!!

I'm training with Can Too for the Sydney Morning Herald Half Marathon!

 I am training for an event with Can Too (AGAIN), 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 2014, our Can Too community has supported 19 early career researchers through Cure Cancer Australia.

Thank you for supporting me!
 
‘It’s so much fun and I can’t believe I’m going to achieve this goal that I never thought possible. A great program and team support is making it possible. You Can Too!’
