My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

It pushes me out of my comfort zone, just like Nedd’s journey inspires us all to do. I'm stepping up to this challenge to not only grow personally but also to raise awareness and support for We Are Mobilise, helping those experiencing homelessness.

My Updates

TENTH RUN DONE ✔️

Tuesday 29th Oct

DAY 10

Tuesday 29th Oct
We finally got here. 10kms for 10 days. We dug deep and completed it in the end. Absolutely ecstatic. No music for this run so there was time to think about why I was putting myself through this. 

The runs have been arduous and they have made everything else a little bit harder to do in my day to day but it wasn't called Nedd's Uncomfortable Challenge for nothing.

Thankyou to everyone who donated, waved good morning or threw an encouraging word my way. It all helped so much.

NINTH RUN DONE ✔️

Monday 28th Oct

DAY 9

Monday 28th Oct
The final afternoon run. My left foot may fall off but there's 10km to go tomorrow.

Much needed rest tonight and then back into it for Day 10 tomorrow morning.

EIGHTH RUN DONE ✔️

Sunday 27th Oct

DAY 8

Sunday 27th Oct
Out to get it this morning. Very sore legs but we still pushed hard. Landed another sub 50 minute 10km (49.59) for my 3rd best time in this distance. Very happy that there was enough in the tank to get it done.

Donations have absolutely smashed my goal and I can't thank you all enough.

8 days down. 2 days to go.

SEVENTH RUN DONE ✔️

Saturday 26th Oct

DAY 7

Saturday 26th Oct
Afternoon run again.

Really pushed into the uncomfortable zone. Landed my 2nd fastest 10km to date. Shins are quite sore now. 7 days 70km. 3 to go.

SIXTH RUN DONE ✔️

Friday 25th Oct

DAY 6

Friday 25th Oct
Back to back runs with Day 5 - about 12 hours in between. Pushed through to claim another win.

Absolutely amazed with everyone's support. Can't wait to tackle the next day with you all backing me.

Bring on the weekend.!!

FIFTH RUN DONE ✔️

Thursday 24th Oct

DAY 5

Thursday 24th Oct
Missed the morning run but we still showed up to get it done in the afternoon. That ankle is giving me grief. The towel tried to launch itself into the ring before the first km was done but we held it together.

Big 50 in the bag. Amazed at myself and it's just the exact same all over again. Let's goooo.!!

FOURTH RUN DONE ✔️

Wednesday 23rd Oct

DAY 4

Wednesday 23rd Oct
My most uncomfortable run yet. The pace was slower and we started earlier to fit in with work..

BUT WE GOT IT DONE. FIRE UP. 

This is my new PB for distance ran in a week. Tomorrow marks the halfway point of the challenge and I can't wait to get there.!!

THIRD RUN DONE ✔️

Tuesday 22nd Oct

DAY 3

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Back into it again. The legs started a bit heavier but we still got the job done. 

This is my longest distance covered in a week and I've tackled it in 3 days so very excited to see what tomorrow brings.

Let's go.!!

SECOND RUN DONE ✔️

Monday 21st Oct

DAY 2

Monday 21st Oct
Got right up and into it this morning before work. Set out on track and was able to blitz this run. 2 out of 10 days are under the belt but I'm prepared for the challenging days ahead. 

Work will take a lot of time up moving forward so the mental game of staying on track and making the time for runs will be a factor. 

50:36 total run time for another 10km. Average pace 5:03/km. Get amongst it and throw your support behind me!!

FIRST RUN DONE ✔️

Sunday 20th Oct

DAY 1

Sunday 20th Oct
Inspired by Ned's 1000 Mile run I've decided to join in on the challenge and fund raising. I've been running for just over 12 months now and I want to hit a very uncomfortable challenge for me.. 100KM in 10 Days.

All I am asking is a $10 donation from each person to hit my target. Let's make this happen for a great cause and to gain some awareness.

Day 1 is under my belt now. The legs feel fresh and the blood is pumping. We tackled 10KM in 52:34 with an average pace of 5:15/km.

Bring on day 2.

Thank you to my Sponsors
