It was during my first half marathon (Run for the Young 2018 - Lilydale) where I met fellow RMA Jo, that I first heard of Two Bays trail run. Jo mentioned that she was aiming for a sub 2.15 half to qualify for the 28km run at the popular trail event. I had never heard [...]
It's hard to believe the day is finally here. The last day of 2019. How that came around so fast is a wonder to me. The year has been jam-packed and it seems that every year just gets faster and faster as time flies by. I wanted to take the time to be thankful to [...]
I sit a two weeks out from my first full marathon and it still hasn't sunk in. Two weeks ago I was standing in a red plastic poncho with members of out Not Fast Just Furious RAV Team at the gates of the start line ready to begin what would be the final leg of [...]

My race recaps always start in a similar way, looking back to where it all began... Six and a half years ago my gorgeous and last baby completed our family. 3 under 3 and a tonne of weight to lose lead me to running, you know the “cheap and easy” way to lose weight (feel [...]
Like so many mums-be-be, my pregnancy enforced hiatus from running made me dream of bigger things, for me this was my first 100km event. After my 3rdbeautiful daughter was born in September 2018, the real work began to regain my fitness, training 2-3 times a day and working it in around sleeps and feeds. Race weekend [...]
“Let’s qualify for UTMB” said Boni Kelly almost two years ago now. “Sure”, I said having no real clue of what that meant.

4 years 5 marathons 1 goal It began on 6 November 2016 at the New York Marathon. My first marathon. I had no idea what to expect from myself that day. I saw the marathon as a beast.
