Hey RMA crew!I got down to River Run 100 last Sunday and caught up with everyone there. Great to see so many Running Mums doing cool stuff raising awareness for Run For Hummingbird House with four teams! How cool is that. While I was there I caught up with Sharon who was talking to me [...]
Well hello there RMA!Running, like-minded mums, bursting with support and positivity-I must be dreaming! I feel like I am part of a special secret club where the currency is endorphins, a go-get it attitude and the ability to multi-task only like a running mother can. I am Anna. I am 37 years old, live on [...]
Today we have something special. The thing that inspires me most about Running Mums Australia is the people I get to meet or hear about and this story struck a real chord with me. Being indigenous in Australia can have a stereotype attached and and also sometimes it comes with an array of family history [...]
The City2Surf (C2S) journey began for me some 10 years ago when I ran/walked the 14km to Bondi with a group of my best-friends. It was a fantastic day full of laughter and great times. Needless to say, at that point, I never thought I’d be a runner and would one day RUN the C2S.This [...]
If you are a keen runner, this situation is no stranger to you. You had everything ready and laid out from the night before and you wake up to the sound of clink clink clink on the roof. Its also dark to add another element of doubt to whether you should go for your your [...]
Hey RMA Crew! Apologies for missing you guys last week, kind of got the renovating bug up here so I‘ve been hibernating. Will had fun catching up with you guys in Melbourne. It looked awesome! Thought I would go through a little bit about foot pain today. I see so many runners with plantar fasciitis [...]
One night in spring last year I was sitting in my lounge room reflecting on the year that had been. I had just run my first official marathon in Sydney and I was reminiscing about all the training and the race itself. I will never forget that day. Its up there with one of the best [...]
If you want to achieve that running goal you’ve set yourself, no matter what it is, you need to train your mind as well as your body. You can’t leave it to race day because more often than not your mind will win – and your mind usually wants you to slow down, give up [...]
I am a Grandmother of 7 Grandchildren and another who has adopted me. I am approaching my 63rd Birthday and have been a fringe dweller in relation to running. Having been involved in Little Athletics for a period of time, I was successful in starting a Tiny Tots Group in our local club teaching high knees [...]
As we walked to the start line of Run Melbourne, I stopped and looked east as we crossed Princes Bridge. The view was breathtaking. As the sun broke through the darkness of the night and promised a kiss of warmth as we ran in the middle of a Melbourne winter, the river sparkled and reflected [...]
I was the tubby kid who hated exercise. I once explained to my 4th grade teacher I did not see the need for PE. I even forged my Mum's signature on a note excusing me from sport in high school. Did I get out of sport? Nope. Did my Mum get called to the school [...]
Some of our members stories here at Running Mums Australia leave me hanging onto every word. This story is one of courage and determination, a desire to never give up, to push on and reach the finish. I want to thank Tina Kirwan for sharing this very detailed, amazing journey into what is an ultra [...]
Hey RMA Crew! Sorry I missed you guys last week. Things got pretty hectic around here. I got stuck in the renovating whirlwind. It kind of chewed me up and spat me out! Didn’t know if I was going to make it for a few days there…I NEED to get out for a run! Will [...]
