Well Spring is just around the corner in Australia and the weather is definately slowly warming up which means not long till we can get outside and enjoy the sunshine and the beaches. The winter months are often famous for hibernating to keep warm and eat enjoyable hot foods. This is also a time of year famous for the slow addition of extra pounds that sneak onto our bodies.   This year don’t leave it too late to start getting in shape for summer. Make exercise and activity part of your daily lifestyle. Better still set a goal and work towards looking great for the summer months!  

Last month I set a goal of increasing my fitness levels and thought a great motivation tool would be to enter in a fun run! So with this in mind I hoped online to search for a fun run to enter into and came across the Sydney Running Festival which is held on September 21.

With only 4 weeks till the event I am running the beachsides of Coogee, Bronte and Bondi beach to get myself fit for the run. Plus, something else I am running for a charity, the McGrath Foundation, which was co-founded by Jane McGrath and her cricketing husband Glenn after Jane’s diagnosis and initial recovery from breast cancer.  So this is a great motivation tool, as I have the support of family and friends who have sponsored me for the run and to also be involved with raising some money for a great foundation as well!

 If you are interested in taking up the challenge of entering the Sydney Running Festival there are 4 different events:
 
The Sunday Telegraph Family Fun Run (4km)
The Sunday Telegraph Body + Soul Bridge Run (9km)
Blackmores Half Marathon (21.0975km)
Blackmores Sydney Marathon (42.195km)

Happy Running!
