I was born to…

For the last few months I’ve been training for a fun run, which takes place this coming Sunday (May 12th), which is also Mother’s Day here in Australia. It’s called the Mother’s Day Classic, and it’s taking place in various cities and towns around the country.
Inspired by my sister, and a handful of other friends, I thought it would be good for me to do something that would:
1) Help others out
2) Improve my health
It was the perfect event to sign up for, as my Mother-In -Law has been affected by breast cancer. You can read my blurb on my sponsor page below, if you like. Also if you have a few spare dollars to donate, you’d be supporting a wonderful cause…but no pressure! My sponsor page will close on Friday May 17th.

While my beautiful sister and her husband were visiting recently, we had the opportunity to run together, and it was so invigorating. Anita was encouraging, and shared some running tips with me, and it was also a wonderful opportunity for us to just hangout and be sisters. She’d run the Paris half-marathon not long before heading down under!
Funnily enough, when I was out running recently the Bruce Springsteen song “Born to Run” came up on the playlist. I’ve never been a sporty person, but I’m really enjoying running. I can just put my running shoes on, do some warm up stretches, and I’m off! Lately I’ve felt so much better physically and mentally.
Who’d have thunk it? Born to Run? Definitely not me!
