My Challenge is to Run 10 kilometres EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2024

bg my challenge

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 people in Australia experiencing homelessness. I’m not setting a world record or running across Australia, i’m sure many people out there could run 10k every day or 10 days. it’s not a comparison to anyone’s out there but the start of a journey of my own. 

My Updates

Day 6

Friday 25th Oct
Today was the first time that running has made me throw up. Still feeling sick. While i’m running it’s the best that i feel for the day i have no runny nose no sore tummy, no headache. (apart from when i throw up apparently)

Day 5

Friday 25th Oct
HALF WAY BABY
Felt super sick all morning struggled to get out of bed. once i made it to the couch struggled to eat breakfast and drink my morning coffee. mixture between super sore throat and looking at my food trying to work out what the biggest bite i could take would be without throwing up. eventually pushed myself to get out there and just do it, planned to run slow but spotify had different plans. Shuffle play gave me (Jailbreak - AC/DC) followed by (Can’t Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers) and thirdly (Money For Nothing - Dire Straits). i was flying.

Day 4

Friday 25th Oct
today i made the crucial mistake of running on uneven bike tracks that are a constant hill. not a vibe.

Day 3

Tuesday 22nd Oct
Waited untill the afternoon today to get my run done and went to the gym and did it on the treadmill. Yew

Day 2
