Running 4 Happiness Project

There’s something special about being awake while the rest of the world is still sleeping. Every sunrise run is a reminder that each day brings a fresh opportunity to grow, improve and take another step towards the person you want to become. No matter what happened yesterday, today is a chance to begin again. ❤️💛💚

Another relaxing weekend running with the crew. On Saturday everyone headed to Ginninderra Parkrun for their weekly 5km. What an awesome way to start the weekend!

On Sunday, myself and Kat invited everyone to head to Stromlo so we could all do our planned runs for the morning and then enjoy a coffee and jaffle, and also some wonderful cheesecake which was made by Mel! Who needs an excuse to eat cheesecake ❤️💛💚

We are incredibly excited to officially announce that Running 4 Happiness Project will be launching a BRAND NEW training group for the 2026 Canberra Times Fun Run! With such a huge interest we are already at 75% full 🔥

Not every session will come with perfect conditions or endless motivation. Some days will be cold, wet, windy or simply feel harder than expected. What matters is the decision to keep turning up, adapting where needed and doing what you can. That consistency is what builds resilience, confidence and lasting progress. ❤️💛💚

Once the sun had popped up it revealed a sparkly wonderland this morning ❤️💛💚
