To get the full story we have to go back to March when my husband moved our family - him, me & our 2 boys 8 & 5 to Toronto, Canada! For the first time in 8 years I was home alone! 2 kids at school, no job outside the home or work visa to [...]

Hi RMA’s! Now this recipe is not very chefy, but was something I threw together when I was in serious need of a grocery shop. It is healthy and delicious without the fuss. After a long day and with an almost bare fridge, I pulled this stir-fry together with a bit of tofu and a [...]

Empowering you to stay active When we become parents, it’s easy put ourselves last and forget to make time for regular exercise. At Running Mums Australia (RMA), our goal is to make it easier for mums to stay active, get outdoors and connect with new friends.   Regular exercise will boost your energy and reduce [...]

Isn’t the power of belief a wonderful thing and even more powerful when you have to overcome obstacles and self-belief becomes stretched to its very limits. I have been running and competing in triathlons for around 10 years now and not once did I really feel the ‘want’ to run 100kms but that all changed [...]

As the rain pelts down on the streets of New York City we are watching the garbage trucks, NYPD cars, endless yellow taxis and array black umbrellas pass by the window of the Hilton Executive Lounge.

Intuition Is My Superpower   “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” This quote resonates so much with me when I reflect on my running journey and on life in general over the past 5 years. I have had my fair share of success this year [...]

I recently started a new job and I’ve spent a bit of time reflecting on how I can be more efficient with my time. With only 24 hours in a day, how can I get the most of every minute without letting any balls drop. So here are 5 ways I’ve become more time efficient: [...]

My name is Geraldine, and I first became involved with Running Mums Australia back in 2014.  I stumbled across the Instagram page while I was getting into running, and saw a lot of RMA’s on the Gold Coast that July when I completed my first half marathon. After that I became quite actively involved on [...]

This race caught my eye last year after I had run UTA 50km. I recall wondering if it was a good one to do prior to a 100km and my research said no, that Hounslow is a truly brutal undertaking. (How right that was!) I decided to set my sights on UTA100 in 2018 instead. [...]
