The first few things that I will say about The Blackall100, is that it would not be the event it is without the wonderful race organisers, indigenous elders, volunteers and running groups such as Brisbane Trail Runners (BTR), SunCo RunCo, NUTRs and whoever else I can't remember. These people make the event so warm, welcoming and memorable, it has definitely become my favourite event.
I am a runner, an average runner. It means I am not a fast runner, but I am not slow either. The fact is, that whether fast or slow I love running. Whether on the road, bike path or or hilly trails with my dog, I find peace when I run. Running keeps me fit, and proves to me that even with a chronic illness it is possible to run.

2019 Gold Coast Marathon, training and other reflections
2019 was supposed to be a triumphant year. Although 2018 had finished well after having completed my first ultra marathon, I was still disappointed with my performance at the Gold Coast Marathon last year.
I had unfinished business to take care of.
