SUNNY SATURDAY 🫶

Still doesn’t feel like winter in Sydney! A cracking start to the weekend at Dolls Point parkrun this morning, with a surprise pop up from Raffaela! 😍

WINTER SOLSTICE INCOMING 😍

It’s so dark in the mornings at the moment, BUT…

This Sunday coming, marks one of my favourite days of the year – the Winter Solstice! While we’re still in the depths of winter, it’s the shortest day of the year, which means from Monday onwards we start gaining precious minutes of daylight each day as we head back towards spring and summer. 🌺

And honestly, we haven’t even seen many true winter temperatures yet, so there’s still plenty of time to enjoy those crisp mornings before the warmer weather returns.

Bring on the longer days! ☀️🏃‍♀️

FRIDAY STALWARTS 😂

Tried a new pic, didn’t work due to lighting issues, so ended up with our traditional selfie! 🤳🏻

We also practised our sit to stand which is another skill needing to be maintained as we age - nailed it…but it was sweaty work! 😮‍💨 😅

Try this…

Sit on a chair or bench seat. Cross your arms over your chest & stand up, then sit back down as many times as you can in 30 seconds.

You’re aiming for:
50s: 18-25
60s: 12-17 (women), 14-19 (men)
70s: 10-15 (women), 12-17 (men)
80s: 9-14 (women), 10-15 (men)

And if you’re younger than 50 - do more! 😅

Let me know how you go. We got 21 today. On track. ✅ 💪
…

YES YOU CAN 💪

FRIDAY FUN CREW ✌️ in da hood! 🤘

FUN IN THE SUN 😎☀️

So glad the rain clouds cleared on Friday and gifted us a bright, sunny weekend! 🫶

Not quite ready for winter to arrive tomorrow…so here’s hoping the sunshine keeps sticking around just a little longer. ☀️
