Day 23🥺

I made it to 70!!!!! Woohoo I did it, I’m shocked I did it with days to spare I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to make it but the donations are what kept me doing it, I can’t disappoint people that would break my heart. Thank you so much. 

Day 19

SUCH a big day basically  in The shops ALL day haven’t sat down but finally found some time to squeeze in 2 more km! Hopefully more than that tomorrow 

Day 18

Got it down to just 20km to go ! Only did 2 because I want to watch telethon and I’m having some back trouble 😩

Day 17

A post massive Japanese lunch and a pre telethon run run ! 3km for today now I’m gonna sit relax and eat some chocolate and have some wine 🤫🥰

Day 16

Another mum run at home today. 4km locked in :) 

Day 14

Had to move my machine and run infront of Frank, he laughed at me the whole time so … 

Day 11

Big bbq meal at my parents today and came home for a treadmill nighttime run! I thought my walking pad was broken 😰 but it’s ok the incline leg was just loose! That was a scary noise though. Another 3k in the bag 

Day 10

Run/walked my way around the spectacles, ran about 3.5km of it but it was too beautiful not to slow down and take in some of it. Made some animal friends along the way too.

Day 9!!!!

Much better day today, did my second 5km on the treadmill and I shaved off nearly 4 whole minutes off my time ! And had under 8 minute kms again yay 

Day 8 :(

Bad day for the mental so a shorter run on the treadmill today .. which I finished at 4.45… the run I wanted to start at 9.30 this morning 🥲

Day7

I accidentally went over 4km on the treadmill by like 10 meters so then my brain wouldn’t let me stop til it was atleast 4.5.. then I went to 4.6 so obviously I had to do 5k!!!! So happy 

Day 6

Got my nephew to come for a sunset run with me along the beach! Different now I know my pace and talking and the added cold but it went well! 

Day 5

I put my treadmill (usually 8km/h) on the running speed I was doing on my out door run (7km/h) and I was able to add 1 WHOLE km to the last distance I did. 4km in for day 5 I’m so happy :)

running in the park !!

Day 3 decided to run around the oval a couple times 🥰

Day 1

Run 1 was a treadmill run because .. mum things .. but I shaved 15seconds off a km AND I ran 3km at once (my longest so far) 🥺 

Running in October

I can’t wait to run 70km for autism in October. 2 weeks ago I started running and I could barely make 300m, 2 weeks later I can run 2km without stopping. I don’t want my motivation to go away so raising money and awareness for a good cause and having people support me is definitely more than enough to keep me running, thankyou everyone 🥰 I’ll post photos of some of my runs :)

I’m joining the movement to Run for Autism. But I need your help.

Why am I running 70km this October? Because 70% of Autistic people face mental health challenges.

I’m running towards a more inclusive world where Autistic Australians have the opportunity to thrive. 

Please donate now and show your support to my fundraiser.  You’ll be helping provide early diagnosis, autism-specific education, and critical research into mental health issues experienced by Autistic people so they can access the support they need to realise their different brilliant®. 

You’ll also give me the motivation I need to log my kilometres as I go the distance throughout October. Donate now to show your support. 

Thank you!
