Day 12: over half way!

A wet start to the day in Brissy. Now the sun is shining. Yay! I hope the washing dries! This morning a gym cardio workout followed by 5km stationary bike ride. Happy Monday!

Day 11: happy mother’s day

This morning I enjoyed an early morning walk through the streets of Sydney CBD. It was rather still & quiet at 6am. I noticed a few homeless people camping out near fast food outlets. I guess that makes it handy to toilets. Down by the Opera House I saw a bride and groom having their photos taken at 7am. A bit early! Maybe it was a photo shoot. There were a few runners and walkers too. Happy Mother’s Day to our beautiful Mums 🌸🩷🌸6.79km

Day 10: bondi to coogee coastal walk

It’s a great morning to step it out in Sydney. 16C & sunny with the odd cloud about. People are swimming in the ocean…brrr. 5.17km. Now enjoying a big brekkie! Have a great Saturday!

Day 9: graduation celebrations

Today, I was preoccupied by Dougal’s uni graduation & did not record a walk (even though I did a short walk to USyd from our accommodation). Nil km’s

Day 8: mt cootha

I met team member, Jane at 5:30am. It was dark. The head torch is coming in handy. We walked & talked the entire 4km. It seems to go so fast. Jane dropped her pull over which we only realised when we finished. Fortunately a nice member of the public had hung it up in a branch - she didn’t have to walk too far before she found it. phew! Happy Thursday!

Day 7: happy hump day

No stopping me today after an 8 hour sleep. Sleep is gold. I hit the gym including a short run workout (2.6km) & stationary bike ride (5km). Happy Wednesday

Day 6 - low battery

Feeling a bit energy less today. I think I know why - not enough sleep. I did manage to drag my arse out of bed & go to 5am reformer Pilates. Nil kilometers walked today. To bed early tonight!

Day 5: happy monday

Today, it’s Labor Day PH in QLD. Who doesn’t enjoy a long weekend. It’s overcast & drizzly. Oscar dog & I had to cut out walk short as it was a bit wet (2km). Also, cycled 5km on an ECHO bike in the gym. If you don’t know what an ECHO bike is - my advice dodge them. They are nasty (but good cardio). Have a great Monday.

Day 4

A lovely stroll by the Brissy river with Benjo & Oscar dog. A balmy 18C. 4km

Day 3: bright & early

A Saturday morning walk (3.25km) with Benjo & Oscar (labby). We stop off at the local IGA to collect croissants & weekend newspapers. It felt chilly because of the light breeze. Still 16C so not too much to whinge about. Happy Saturday 🌸

Day 2

A gym morning. Did a 45 min HIT class & then finished off with a gentle 5km cycle on a stationary bike. It feels a bit cooler here in Brissy. 16C. I think it’s the breeze. Lots happening in Brissy this weekend with NRL magic round. Keep up the good work. Have a great weekend.

Stepping out for ms

It was a beautiful morning (18C) for a walk in Brisbane. Team member (Jane), Oscar (black Labrador ) & I walked to The Summit at Mt Cootha, Brisbane. At the summit we were greeted by a group of folk dancers. An unexpected spectacle while taking in the sunrise over the Brisbane city.

2 more sleeps

My t-shirt arrived today 🙏. Getting ready to step it out for MS

Help us ‘power walk’ to raise funds for MS research

It’s a SHIT autoimmune disease

They say it’s a young person’s disease but Rach McDowall was diagnosed in 2024 at the age of 54. She may have had it for awhile but we know is has had it for at least 2 years.

It’s knocked her down, like a MIKE TYSON punch but she is standing back up and ready to go

For those who don’t know much about MS

- there is NO cure

- Reseach hope to have a cure in the next 10 years

- more than 10 people are diagnosed with MS each week in Australia

- 3/4 of those living with MS in Australia are women

- For each case the progress, severity and specific symptoms are different

Please support the NARELLE HOTPANTS AND THE DAISY DUKES TEAM to help raise fund for life-changing research into MS
