My Activity Tracking
I have completed
of my 2.5 km sprint goal.
My target 2.5 km
I’m getting breathless for asthma!
I’m challenging myself to 10 days straight of fitness activity because, unlike people with asthma I can breathe easily. I want to stand with them and really experience what it’s like, even just for a moment, to struggle to breathe.
- Asthma is responsible for at least 1 Australian death every day and around 100 hospitalisations every day. Over 80% of these hospitalisations are considered potentially avoidable.
- 1 in 9 Australians are directly impacted by asthma, with children being the most impacted.

Last day today
Tuesday 10th Sep Today I did my 10th 2.5km or greater run/walk in a row. It was very cold this morning but I tried to walk as little as possible and was happy with my progress in the 10 days now I am hoping to turn it into a more sustainable routine. Thanks again to everyone who donated Share
A brief moment of sunshine
Thursday 5th Sep Yesterday I was able to go for a run in the sunshine without the pram and it was much easier and I could tackle some hills. I thought I would be more sore but I’ve been trying to listen to my body and it’s been ok Share
Day 3
Tuesday 3rd Sep Well it’s been horrible weather for running but I have been able to suck it up and get out with Morgan in the pram. I am enjoying it although quite stiff after. Today I am attending training to learn more about spirometry which is used to diagnose and monitor asthma and lung disease Share
First “run”
Sunday 1st Sep It was ultra windy, I’m getting over a cold and having to use ventolin intermittently for my cough, and Morgan has hand foot and mouth. I haven't really run since I got pregnant with Morgan, so it was mostly walking with a few runs. I am aiming to complete the same distance but in faster time as I gradually do less walking and more running. Thanks for all your support ShareThank you to my Sponsors
