After 6 long months of training, race morning was upon me! My alarm went off at 4:30am after a very restless night sleep. I got up & had my usual pre-event breakfast of coffee & peanut butter toast, then checked through all my mandatory gear for the millionth time! We left the house for the … Read more
Everyone loves a green smoothie right? Well I know I do! After a while you will work out what combinations work for you and what don’t. A green smoothie is a great way to pack in all those good nutrients and antioxidants that your body needs and a good source of much needed vitamins for … Read more
When I started running again a few years ago I did it to get fit and to shift the baby weight. After a few months I remembered how much I loved running and I decided to set myself a goal of a half marathon. Six months later I ran one and finished and so set … Read more

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.

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. … Read more
