My Challenge is to...
100 laps around the oval in 10 days
for Nedd’s Uncomfortable 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.

Day 1 Realization: Painkillers and Poor Math
Monday 20th OctTo kick off Day 1 of this challenge, I've come to a rather hilarious (in hindsight) realization: one should probably not set herself a fitness goal two days post-op while still high on painkillers.
My initial goal? "Sure, I'll do 100 laps of the local oval every day for ten days."
What I didn't factor in was the actual math. That goal equates to 40 kilometers a day. Yes, you read that right: a MARATHON, every single day, for ten days straight.
Considering I've never even run a marathon, or walked more than 20 km in one go in my life, that was, to put it mildly, not a realistic goal. While I'm all for pushing my comfort zone, dedicating 5 to 8 hours a day to walking just isn't physically or mentally feasible to fit into my schedule as a mum, business owner, and full-time student.
Huge shout-out to anyone who can and does manage to fit a daily marathon walk or run into their life—you are absolute legends!
So, I've adjusted my aim to a challenge that's more realistic.
My new goal is to complete a total of 100 laps (40 km) over the 10 days. Any laps I complete beyond that will be a massive bonus achievement!
