My Challenge is to 10kms of running, walking, swimming, cycling or rowing (and waking up before the sunrise) EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...

The variety of exercise I am planning on doing (running , swimming, cycling, walking, rowing) will physically challenge by body and waking up before sunrise every morning will challenge my mind (and energy levels). I want to do this to make myself uncomfortable for those who don’t have the luxury of choosing their discomfort.

Day 1 DOWN

Tuesday 22nd Oct
I accidentally started my challenge a day early...
I'm joking, I didn't quite start my challenge a day early but went for a Master Lap (12.84km) run the day before my challenge. 

In all seriousness my theory was to get in a run before my challenge started and to spread out the bigger runs throughout, in preparation for the half marathon at the end of the 10 days. 

So, the first day of my challenge was quite anticlimactic with a walk and bike ride. Keen get creative with my challenge by throwing in some swims, jumping on a rowing machine, walking to work...

THANK YOU to everyone that has donated, it means so much to me xox

first 10km done yewww

Monday 23rd Sep
first 10kms I've ran in a LONG time!! Such a great way to start off my Saturday; was a solo run, chucked on a podcast and shuffled my way right until 10.01 :)))

First 5km Complete!!

Monday 9th Sep
My first 5km run doneee! woo!

Also the first run where I wasn't feeling incredibly sluggish eeek. I think the sunny weather definitely helped to lift the spirits after this weeks crazy weather in Melb!

Very keen to get back into running and to drive into the training for my Uncomfortable Challenge.

Thank you Imogen and Dorothy for my first two donations!! Very grateful for your support to help those facing homelessness across Australia <3
