My Dad has been humming the theme to the Indiana Jones movies every time he sees me (the Bulletin describes me as a “modern-day Indiana Jones” – high praise indeed)!
Just stumbled on this photo taken on the West Coast on Tasmania when I was doing my solo run around.
My Uncle Bryan has a fitness business in Hobart and lent my mum their work car when mum drove up to the West Coast to make sure I could get to towns at the end of the day’s running – there’s hundreds of kilometres between towns and it would be difficult to survive a night in the wilderness.
Anyway, Uncle Bryan sent me this and was asking something about dents on the roof. No idea what he’s talking about??!
This shot was to get publicity for his business! ;o)
I ran the 42.2 km Brisbane Marathon yesterday with my brother Harry and our mate Harry (common name!).
At the end I had a chat with the legendary Marathon Man – Trent Morrow – who has run a staggering 40+ marathons in the last 40 months – including the 256km Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert in 2008 and the 90km Comrades Marathon in South Africa in 2010.
Schools teams have to have an adult leader with them – with teachers leading the other 2 teams, the school asked me to step in and lead a team of 4 boys.
We completed the Challenge in a little over 29 hours – amazing effort by the boys to finish, though we did have 2 unable to continue on after 50 km.
Thanks for my heart rate monitor mates at Aussie Fit for the usual great support.
I’ve just (yesterday at midday) finished my 1,200 km solo run around Tasmania to raise some money and awareness of Big brothers Big Sisters of Australia.
I did a speech a few weeks back to 400 Grade 9 students at the yLead leadership day.
Thanks to those people who did the survey after to let me know how I did – 13 people did the survey and they all went in the draw to win an iPod Shuffle and a $50 iTunes Gift card.
The draw was done by my dog!
And the winner is…….watch the video below.
I’m Now Working
I’m taking a year to do a few things before I get into my aviation career.
I’m currently working for my dad on this cool bike storage web site.
