Run Proud.

This girl just registered for the first ever IMF Father’s Day Warrior Run on the 6th of September, at Centennial Park!

From the website, “the Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF), a not-for-profit charity that uses running to drive social change, create inspirational leaders and provide life-changing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the country.”

This is a fantastic organisation that helps so many people through the power of running, and this alone was enough to get me to register (having the weekend off work helped a bit too)

This will also be my first solo run, as my dad (#1 [only] running buddy will be celebrating his birthday/father’s day without his kids, on a cruise). But, I’ve got my partner and brother in tow as my cheer squad!

The run is two Sunday’s before the half marathon, so I think it’ll be the perfect warmup to the main event.

Registering for this run means I have one run every month until November when I do the Mudder! Unfortunately this year I think I might have to skip Balmain Fun Run, which I was really looking forward to, because Tough Mudder is the day before – but depending on how my fitness is closer to November, I might even just sign up for the 5k. Balmain was one of my favourite runs last year and I really don’t want to miss it!

I’m so excited for all the events I have coming up, and I’m really glad I found the Warrior Run, because having runs to look forward to means more motivation and more training and just generally more inspiration.

Happy running, folks!
