MOTHER'S DAY CLASSIC

My family thought I was nuts, the week leading up to the fun run I entered our whole family.  We are all doing the 4km walk I said.  Now I know what they were thinking, as this was not the normal family day out for us, but things were changing.  I wanted to do more than just walk I wanted to walk for my Aunty's who had battled breast cancer.  So we all dressed up in pink, including the hubby, and the kids has pink angels wings.  A set for Flip and a set for Sue, these courageous women have survived cancer.
 
 
So off we went early in the morning, to do our 4km walk together.  My son made it 100m I think before I flung him on my back, and my daughter was off flying.  It was fun and everyone had an awesome morning.  We even made the news.



KATH GIBSON HURT MY ASS!



So I had my PT session with Cath Gibson and man did she smash me.  She told me my legs will feel like this running the BS&F course too.  Oh no!  Its was great to have someone show me how to target those problem areas.  After having 3 C-Sections my lower abdomen is shot.  So we targeted this area and all was fine.  Until the next day, man my ass hurt like a mother f#$%er, I couldn't even sit down.  How the hell did that happen? I recommend her workouts it will smash you.

Here is one I followed leading up to BS&F
 
 

BLOOD SWEAT & FEARS 2013 - SMASHED IT!

 
 
 
I did it. 10km of running non stop I might add, and the obstacles they were fun.  What an amazing day and to share this with my family I was so humbled.  The support from my kids and my partner was unreal.  To see the looks on their faces to see their mum rockn' it in the mud,  priceless.  This was my finale to round 1 and what a great one at that.  I surprised myself and met some really good friends from doing this.  The girls supported one another along the way, it was so good to see.
 
 
 
Love this footage from another contender, this shows all the obstacles we faced.
