In peace or war, soldiers risk serious injury or death to defend our nation. RIP WO2 Muddle, we will not forget your service and sacrifice.

And a reminder to reach out to your relevant support person, people or service if this incident has affected you in any way. We grieve together, never alone.

You Know what!? There are days when it just all seems to come together. Today was one of those days.

While I can’t share the specific details yet, I have been very focused on my advocacy work of late and it’s all coming together. Today I managed to pick up meetings with people and organisations who do amazing work within the peer led mental health space. Which means tomorrow is looking very busy between all my projects and throw in a .runclub sponsor call with (always a favourite).

I also have been asked to do another side project by an incredible organisation but that announcement will have to wait too. 😉 sorry, not sorry.

I’m also really thankful to have people around me at work who listen and are working with me on a project that will positively affect my colleagues and I.

Outside of the advocacy work, it was a nice slow long run today helped by gels. *Not sponsored I’m just really enjoying how easy they are on my guts. Plus who doesn’t love maple syrup!? ☺️

So much to do, so little time.

This right here is why I love ultra running. It’s you versus your mind, body, weather and terrain. Plus it’s great to see women showing us blokes how to do it!

Always good catching up with Scott from RE; Shift. I’m excited to see the final product and what they build to help first responder and veteran community.

Caught up with Jason from The Running Paramedic this morning.

Paramedic. Runner. Mental health advocate. Building community for his colleagues through fitness, connection and honest conversation. Before things get hard.

His work alongside Emerge & See NSW & ACT and their coffee van, pulling up at stations across NSW and ACT and giving emergency responders somewhere to land, is exactly the kind of thing that should already exist.

We talked about the RE;Shift bush retreat. The look. The feel. What we are building and why it needs to exist.

Two different lanes. Same direction.

Follow along as we build RE;Shift. Profits fund a bush retreat. No programs. No pressure. Just space.

is the perfect way to start the weekend. To keep things interesting, odds and evens was on the cards today. 5:30mins/km on the odd kilometres and 6min/km on the even kilometres. Plus the 10mins either side for a warm up and cool down.

Not gonna lie, I felt pretty bloody strong. I am starting to see my fitness return and I can feel the difference. It’s one of the reasons you can’t give up on an exercise plan until you’ve given it a red hot crack! 2 weeks ago I felt like crap, questioning whether my Sydney Marathon goal was achievable. I can see now that if I maintain consistency, I’ll get there.

A couple of legends at the .runclub Harrington Park Lake run. I left them to run my 50min easy run and joined back up at the end.

Note: No ducks or people were harmed during this run, just a little frightened.

No one should fear going to work! What we do, day in and day out can be dangerous enough but these random attacks scare me more than anything. When we are attending a scene, we are vigilant and looking for danger. Ordering a coffee at a Cafe however, we are trying to relax and decompress. We have our guard down.

We don’t know why this happened yet. There’s no point speculating or creating knee jerk policy or legislation because most of the time that can do more harm to us on the ground.

The focus needs to be on the paramedics recovery, their family and the emergency services community feeling the full force of what happened, again.

Stay safe out there!

Whoops, easy run skipped for a mental health run. I just needed to give it some gas today and shake away the intrusive thoughts.

For some reason this always seems to happen leading up to my birthday. My amazing family makes it better every year. This year with a slab of Sara Lee banana cake and lots of hugs.
