Today marks a significant milestone in my running journey. I have officially completed my 2000th consecutive day of running 5 kilometres every single day! It’s hard to put into words the emotions I feel as I reflect on this journey, but let me share some thoughts and experiences from these past years. When I first […]
I can’t believe another year has gone by so quickly. If you’ve been following my digital journey, you should know by now I’ll be doing an annual review and also setting some goals for 2025. One of the things I don’t regularly do is check the goals for the year and see if I’m on […]
It’s been 5 years! Yes, 5 years or 1827 days since I first started my 5 KM per day running streak. There are moments I question why I keep going—yet pausing means losing all the progress I’ve made. So why stop while I still can? Here’s a video I created using Wondershare Filmora 14: You […]
As someone who enjoys running, I often find myself pondering the significance of tracking my workouts. Recently, I had a rather frustrating experience where I set out for a five-kilometre run, only to realise that neither my watch nor another device I commonly refer to as “shovel” recorded the session. This prompted me to embark […]
Over the weekend (30th March 2024) I did my longest run of 30 km and it’s my PR. My previous longest run was 25.6 km set on 16/04/2022. My initial goal was to just beat 25.6 KM so I set a goal of 26 KM but during the run, I still had energy at around […]
Another year has quickly gone by and what a year 2023 has been. Like most other years it is time for me to review 2023 and set (copy) the same goals from 2024 as I didn’t achieve most of those goals. These are the articles I published in the previous years: ANNUAL REVIEW 2022 AND […]
Time flies and I completely forgot that it’s been 4 years since I started the journey of running every day for at least 5 KM. My running streak as of today is 1467 days and yes, it’s been quite a journey. This picture is of me running this morning when it was sprinkling with rain […]
When I go on a holiday, I always try to explore the surrounding areas during my daily runs. I recently visited Lake Conjola with the family and ran to various locations. On my 10 KM run, I actually ended up running on Buckleys Pt Trail which leads to Buckleys Beach. On this trail, I ended […]
Wow, how time flies so fast. It’s been 3 years since I started running at least 5 KM per day. You can read my full journey here: RUNNING EVERY DAY This year had its challenges as I caught COVID but still managed to run. I just had very mild symptoms. What I learn through this […]
Today, I’ve reached another milestone in my running journey. It’s the 1000th day I’ve been running 5 KM per day – I haven’t missed a day and yes I’ve also been running in the rain! Running every day has become one of my daily habits and every day after the run I feel as though […]
Yes, I caught COVID last month and hence the reason why I’ve been fairly quiet on my website. I generally try to aim to write at least once a week but last month I was fairly busy with TAFE, University Assignments and just dealing with COVID. My daughter was the first one in the family […]
As part of my running journey, I have decided to do more uphill runs. On my daily 5KM runs there is a small hill that I normally run and the grade is 12% for around 100 metres. I don’t find the hill too hard to run but a few weeks ago there was someone that […]
Happy New Year all! It’s now 2022 and time to publish my annual review and goals for this year. This is the article I published last year: ANNUAL REVIEW 2020 AND GOALS FOR 2021 Let’s recap the goals I wrote down for 2021: increase traffic to this website and other website I manage increase YouTube […]
On the 14th of October 2021, I hit another running milestone. I managed to run at least 5 KM every day for 2 years – that’s 731 days since I first started the running streak. I’ve remained consistent and for 1 year I ran at least 10 KM every Saturday. I did also run the […]
Firstly, let me clarify what I meant by the title of this article. Let me clear things up by clearly stating that I was technically a participant in the Guinness World Record for Most users to complete a remote 10 km in 24 hours and I’m not sure if it’s even an official record yet. This event was organised by Virtual […]
Yesterday, the NSW government announced stricter COVID-19 rules regarding wearing masks when outdoors and today I decided to run my daily 5KM with a face mask. Since cases of COVID-19 in NSW has been increasing in some of the Local Government Areas (LGAs) the state government has implemented stricter rules to avoid the spread of […]
Are you stuck at home and can’t get to the gym? Did you know you can do daily workout exercises at home or outdoors? Did you know that exercising is not only good for your body but your mind as well? Working out can help your brain stay clear and focused, lower your stress levels, […]
It’s been 1.5 years of running 5 KM per day. During this process, I learnt a few things about myself and about the mentality one needs to keep running 5 KM per day. I wanted to share these with you and put some of my thoughts into this article. Firstly, if you haven’t read some […]
Today, I achieved my PB (personal best) for swimming. I managed to swim 1 km without stopping at each end of the pool (I usually take a break at each end). The length of the pool is 50 metres (Olympic length) and the swimming pool we went to was Blacktown Aquatic Centre. I didn’t run […]
It has been over 500 days since I started the 5 kilometre per day challenge and it’s been going well. I only have slight pain on the side of my left leg. It’s a bit sore but besides that, I’m still doing it – running 5km every day and on a Saturday I run 10 […]
