G’day from running capital!

Hi, I’m Jo from Melbourne, Australia. Mum, wife and totally unprofessional but absolutely committed marathon runner.

They say it’s never too late to start something new, and well, whoever ‘they’ are I think they’re right. I started running 6 months after turning 40. Who would expect that?

Am I too late? I don’t think so. My age is my advantage. I don’t care any more about what people think or see when they see me run. I just love (well, sometimes hate) running, I love having this ‘me’ time, and definitely don’t want to break any world records.

The only person I want to compete with is myself. I want to be strong, fit and healthy, and adventurous... oh yes, that one too. I don’t want to just run... I WANT TO RUN ALL AROUND THE WORLD and see the cities the runner’s way, at sunrise, when streets are closed to traffic and most people are still asleep.

I have started already and let me tell you, if I can do it you can too. You don’t have to be super fit or fast, or rich, just be persistent, humble and want it really, really badly... so...

PACK YOUR RUNNING SHOES

…and go with me on a running adventure.
