Wow it’s been a very long time since I’ve been on here. Not much has changed in the running department. Still been running (although not as often as I’d like some weeks) and had a few amazing runs overseas in the meantime.

I’m posting on here today to support my husband’s fundraising cause which is in memory of Aimee, our beautiful work colleague and friend we lost earlier this year.

Myself, my husband and a work colleague will be competing in Birdys Backyard Ultra at Lake Towerrinning starting Friday 2nd August.This format is a 6.7km loop you run on the hour every hour until the last one standing!

We are fundraising for Down syndrome WA and Soldiers and Sirens.

I know times are tough but every bit helps so if you can donate please click on the link below.

We will keep you updated with how we go.

Thanks so much 🩷

Down Syndrome WA is a statewide membership organisation representing people with Down syndrome and their families. DSWA is a not-for- profit organisation e

Great day out yesterday exploring the Stirling Ranges- Ellen’s peak.
1012m above sea level (about 685m elevation gain).
Loving the perspective from the drone.

Well I ran my last event for this year on the weekend, The Feral Ultra (Wild Swine 100km).
I feel very lucky to live in WA and still been able to participate in great events this year.
This was a tough run for me. It ended up being 106km and I found the hot weather conditions (and flies) very challenging. I couldn’t take hardly any calories in except for a handful of chips and some coke to get me through the last 7 hours. I may have even called Chris B Elly in the middle of the night to wake him up and whinge that I was going to be out all night. At one point I was stood up by a growling mum kangaroo who was in the middle of the track and wouldn’t let me pass. I didn’t have the energy to have a possible fight with it so had to climb up an embankment to go around 😂.
Definitely a brutal but beautiful course on the Bibbulmun track, very well run as usual by USWA with fantastic organisers and volunteers and met some awesome people out there too.
Finished up in 19hrs 30mins.
Been a full on few months so looking forward to putting my feet up for at least a week or so 😂

Margaret River Ultra completed.
Around 12hours, 18 minutes on a pretty tough course. A lot more soft sand and hotter conditions than what I’m used to. I must admit that I probably didn’t give this course the respect it deserves. I just thought well it’s only 80km so that’s easy enough. A few lessons learnt 😂 Just because the distances is a little less doesn’t mean it won’t hurt! Still a beautiful course and very well run by Rapid Ascent 💕

Race day tomorrow, woohoo.
Margaret River Ultra Marathon (80km).
Looking forward to the beautiful scenery down here and the finish line at the Cheeky Monkey Brewery 💕
For those interested my race number is 205 and there is live tracking (see attached photos with instructions. I won’t turn it on until after the first 10km to try and save some battery power).
Hope to get some scenery photos too.
Have a great weekend x

Decided to go to Pemberton to get some sand training in.
Went out to the Yeagarup sand dunes, which is about 30km out from Pemberton. They rise about 40 metres up from the forest. According to the internet these dunes are the largest land-locked mobile dune system in the Southern Hemisphere. Normal people go four wheel driving here. I decided to spend 3 hours running over them 😂.
