2500km in 2025 Challenge - February update.
Despite challenges, a trip to the emergency room and a few missed days due to soreness I managed to complete 200km. Just under the 209km needed to stay on track but the 15.3km on the final day got me to the 200 at least!

Last photo taken in 2024, sunset at City Beach.
Yes, it is not in focus due to my phone camera being broken and no longer able to focus (for the last year at least)…
However, looking deeper I could be really philosophical about the out of focus vibe saying that it represents 2024 being a blur or the continual challenge that we are faced with in stopping, finding and focusing on the beauty in life and the moments we experience amidst the circumstances which can be busy, ugly, difficult and so often become our focus due to our natural negative bias as human beings… From my own experiences, and observing and listening to the experiences of family and many of my friends, 2024 seems to have served up a lot and I would never want to diminish another’s experiences by just saying to not lose focus on the beauty - it’s sometimes beyond us in the midst of a storm.
Here’s to looking with hope towards the year ahead to be more than 2024 and that time is taken to focus on the beauty that is around us in our everyday life.
Hopefully the final photo for 2025 will be in focus, representative of a life that has held onto this hope in a better world and the beauty of life in the everyday experiences whilst acknowledging the many challenges and knocks that will undoubtedly accompany it…
That, and, maybe I will have a new phone with a camera that can focus by the end of the year 😉

Running goal for 2024 all achieved. Despite setbacks managed to surpass the 2024km for the 2024 calendar year with a new PR for kms covered in December (282km).
Time to rest up before starting the new goal for 2025 - new year, new running challenge

Am happier with this effort than any of the runs I have completed recently. Not because of a great time, but because it’s the first time have managed to get over 12km since June as I continue my recovery / management of injury. It also brought up the 1300km for the year 💪
Dedication to the rehab exercises seems to be paying off!

Bit of a Lego house creation made the other day with one of the kids. There was concern about us not having all the parts like in the “How to Build a Lego House” book.
The sheer amazement that dad could build a house without instructions…and include a hinged roof for being able to easily access the inside. Priceless!

Well it took a little longer than I had hope (was

Well it took a little longer than I had hope (was hoping for this to co e up last week)…but still well ahead a schedule for the year by over a month.
Looking forward to continuing to build on this.

So pretty stoked with this #running milestone that happened during the week.
A few more on the horizon as well, if all things go to plan I should bring up the 900km for the year in the coming week.

Happy with my #morning #run nice early start and reasonable distance. Still building towards running 15km for the first time - hopefully this will occur in the next few weeks.
