TEAM JASE AT BBBRUN

Last event of 2024 for Team Jase this time at the BBBRun around Wentworth Point, Rhodes and Sydney Olympic Park guided by Flo, Jonnie and Simon from Achilles Sydney doing 10ks running like a girl in 51:04 a charity to raise awareness and funding for girls' education in Africa with one runner from South Africa noticing the sign on my back. 

TEAM JASE DOES MELBOURNE HALF MARATHON

eam Jase guided by Emily and Blake from Achilles Melbourne guiding ran the Melbourne Half Marathon this morning. Started out with rather good conditions for the run but got hot towards the end which made it challenging towards the end Completed the 21.1ks in 2:02:25. Big thanks to Emily and Blake for guiding as this was their first time guiding me as a visitor to Melbourne.

TEAM JASE DOES SYDNEY MARATHON 10K

Team Jase guided by Niamh from Achilles Sydney  started the morning meeting at Martin Place station and getting the Metro to Victoria Cross and met a friend of mine Kimmy in the start area before taking on the 10ks from North Sydney Oval to The Conservatorium Of Music running a charity to educate girls in Africa in 54:45 with strong winds and a few challenging hills. Made it to Central after the race for train crewing for the Bankstown Line Heritage weekend with Red Set F1 which I showed to Niamh. 

TEAM JASE DOES A SUB 50 MINUTE BEACHSIDE DASH

Beachside done this morning at Dolls Point in the southern suburbs of Sydney with Jackson guiding Team Jase from Achilles Sydney for the 10ks along the waterfront of Botany Bay doing in a time of 48:47. Had many people commenting on my outfit particularly my skirt. This was my first time doing this event. Started out thinking I would have been doing this event in about 55 - 58 minutes with the possibility of congestion on the course myself and Jackson got basically got a trouble free run with little congestion and was able to run around 5 minutes per k. Afterwards Jackson said the course had some challenging parts having to make a number of calls in quick time. In all it was a good event, was nice to see a few friends and meet a few Instagram followers too  and one I would participate in again. 

TEAM JASE DOES 2024 SYDNEY HALF

Found this race bit of a challenge with the humidity, I will confess I do not do humidity well so the first 14ks was good but had to push on the last 7ks running the 21.1k Run NSW Sydney Half in 2:00:22 around Sydney Olympic Park Thanks to Achilles Sydney guide Richard who was using this as a training run for Sydney Marathon where he will be guiding for guiding today. 

SUB 75 MINUTES CITY 2 SURF DONE

Team Jase guided by Jonny and Richard from @achilles_sydney took on the City 2 Surf in 1:14:19. Didn't go out too hard at the start to save energy for Heartbreak Hill which I did in 9:44. Enjoyed the downhill run into Bondi. 

A VERY COLD SYDNEY HARBOUR 10K DONE FOR TEAM JASE

This morning was a rather challenging Sydney Harbour 10k @sh10k with the temp feeling like 0C at the start but I still ended up running like a girl representing a charity to raise awareness and funding for girls education in Africa doing the 10ks in 51:18 guided by Cameron and Kimberley from Achilles Sydney I was still able to run a consistent pace  even though at times I was being wind blasted on some open and exposed areas of the course. Was quite happy with how I went. Had the usual pre run meetup with Radz and Kerry that we do before some big races.

NEW YORKCITY MARATHON DONE!! A CHALLENGING DAY

The day started for me by getting a train, ferry and real American school bus to the start line on Staten Island. The first 24ks went to plan doing my run walk intervals but after that it all fell apart and ended up walking most of the 18ks to the finish in Central Park. It was challenging but I got it done. Even met a girl cheering in blue hair. The crowd support was amazing with I would say millions of people lining the course to cheer us on. I heard many cheers of "Pink Hair" and "Do It In A Dress" as I went along. In the end it was a great experience and one I would do again. Ended up finishing in 5:59:07.

ALL STATIONS CHALLENGE DONE

On 14th March 2023 after 16 hours and 26 minutes starting at Tallawong at 4:35am and finishing at Roseville at 9:01pm stopping at all 180 stations on the Sydney Trains network I completed the All Stations Challenge befitting One Girl.
THe day had it moments with some minor delays on the Airport and South Line at 9:30am but did make it to my desinations on that line on time. Flow delays impacted the Leppington Line which did work in my favour but could have delayed me if things didn't work out at Leppington but they did. On the Bankstown Line after I left Cabramatta I checked my service from Birrong to Redfern and discovered it was cancelled from Lidcombe to Bankstown which delayed me 15 minutes getting to Redfern and resulted in another 15 minute delay getting to Lidcombe. From Lidcombe onwards everything went to plan with the 30 minute delay. Dinner plans worked out at Richmond. After dinner everything worked out and I arrived at Roseville at 9:01pm to complete the challenge. Was an extraordinary day and something I would do again. 

Rock N Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon

What a night on the Las Vegas Strip last night running like a girl taking on #StripAtNight repping One Girl #DoItInADress. With clear skies and running from sunset through blue hour into the night Las Vegas truned it on and the city of blinding lights looked picture perfect. Put together a good 21.1ks in 1:53:52 in a time I was happy with. Had a great time on a great course. If you only ever run a few half marathons in life add this to your must do list. 

NEW PARKRUN PERSONAL BEST

NEW PARKRUN PERSONAL BEST
The main way I raise fundraise for @onegirlorg and raise awareness of girls education in Africa is by running and participating in fun runs such as City 2 Surf and Sydney Running Festival. I also participate weekly in parkrun at Rhodes parkrun. Today I set a new overall parkrun personal best at Rhodes parkrun doing the 5ks running like a girl on a warm Sydney morning repping One Girl in 23:19. my previous PB was 23:37 which I set back in March 2018. I also helped a young lady to achieve a PB too. Next week I will be in Las Vegas participating in the Rock n Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon along the famous Las Vegas Strip.
