My Challenge is to...

Run 21km

EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2025

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. Also I failed last year so this is a moment of redemption for me, which is super nerve-wracking & uncomfortable!!

I’m terrified

Tuesday 29th Jul
It’s very daunting to put a commitment this big out into the public sphere. I’ve always had to do a lot of work personally to overcome a fear of failure, and while I know now intellectually and instinctively that’s a limiting factor for achieving anything truly great, it’s still so terrifying so face it.

I still haven't forgiven myself for not being able to complete what I set out to do for my 2024 challenge. I felt so guilty, like I’d made this commitment and then became a liar when I had to admit that I couldn’t do it. I was in a lot of pain, but because of that it was such a frighteningly easy decision to swap out a half marathon per day with something else- “just as extreme” I told myself and my colleagues at the time… The reality is I do think a degree of fear disguised as pragmatism crept in. One comment from a hardcore runner I met lurked in the back of my mind: “be careful, you’re not used to it and I actually broke my hip running 100km last year.” 

I was trying so hard to move on and choose something different this year to not have to face it but the fact that coming back out and admitting I failed but I’m going to stand up and try again is *the most* uncomfortable thing I can think of - is the reason why I simply need to do it. 

So here’s to facing failure head on and doing extreme shit that scares you. I my younger self never thought I’d be talking like this about something like that, which truly is the beauty of life. How much we can experience and explore different versions of ourselves. 

I’ll be blogging and charting the progress throughout for my own sanity, and hopefully this inspires someone else to pull the socks up and get in there. 👋
