Congrats! In Disneyland, lots of people wear their medals from all the races from the whole weekend! They sound very jingly jangly! May this be the first mara of many!
Thanks Sammy! Disneyland must be one super fun marathon. I realise I was harsh on the medal thing. Wish I could wear mine everywhere now, but instead I’ve got it hanging above my desk. 🙂
Congratulations Carolyn! What a great wrap up of your amazing achievement! I did my first half on the same day and loved hearing you talk about the crowd support by calling out your name as you run by…so awesome! Well done!
Oh thanks Cherene! If you head to operationmove.com.au/learntorun they’re offering early bird prices for the August intake – and enter code word CARTEL for an extra 10% off. xx
Oh I read this and I felt so proud! I remember you telling me about starting training at that Bupa thing last year! Well done it’s such a huge achievement.
Hey guys I know I’m late to the party here but I just found this and loved it. I’m training for my first half and this vid made me (almost) want to do a full.

Congratulations Chris! How great was that crowd – they make the whole day feel so amazing. I hope you’ve got the bug now to do it all again? xx
Congratulations Carolyn. Thank you for demonstrating that it (big goals) can be achieved.
I’d better look into this operation move thingy.

Thanks so much, lady! It was a long road, for sure, and I’m still buzzing. xx

That’s awesome Kathy! Get through the half first – that’s what I did – and then plan for the full. Good luck with it! xx
