I have a million & 1 reasons to HATE this photo
The double chins from looking down
The big belly with the wet shirt sticking to every curve
The feet always anchored to the ground that never want to give me an air pic lol
But I don’t hate it
I love it
Not because of all the very real flaws I see

I see a mum running with her son
Both of us are laughing as we run
Carefree running and laughing in the rain
Not caring what I look like
Not caring about all the eyes watching me
Not caring about the camera trained on me
Not fussing to pull my shirt down or lift my head to a more flattering angle
Just not caring

RUNNING & LAUGHING IN THE RAIN WITH MY CHILD
What a precious moment to capture
I would usually never ever ever publish such a photo of myself for the world to see
But I am today
You know why?
Because this is the sort of moment I never EVER would have dreamed I would be doing right now if you’d asked me just a few shorts months ago when I couldn’t even run 10 metres!
Never ever.
But I’m so proud I am
I’m so chuffed my kids & groom tell me how proud they are of me xxxx
I’m so proud how my entire life, how our whole family’s lives, are completely changing since we all began running and attending parkrun Australia
This is life changing
This is LIVING!!!!

How awesome is Manjimup parkrun? It’s SUPER awesome with trees for my Ewok mates to run around in and a big hill too. The most awesome part? It’s the awesome friendly team who run this parkrun. Yes parkrun tourists- come to Manjimup where #everythingisawesome !!!! Oh and the cafe after is great too!…
I have not been a runner all my life, in fact I disliked running and always hoped for a thunderstorm when I was at school and it was time for athletics. Then at the age of 29 through a series of events I signed up to do a 89km ultra marathon, called the Comrades. …
