Trying to be everything to everybody all the ...

I am trying my absolute best to be the coach I want to be, the mother I need to be, the wife I should be, the friend I strive to be and somewhere in there the runner I need to be to help me be everything else. After losing my way with my own running journey and struggling to battle the demons of mental illness, I decided it was time to set some running goals for me again. The Gold Coast Marathon has taught me that I can overcome the barriers that mental illness has put on me and that I am strong enough to keep moving forward. Here is my story…

Trying to be everything to everybody all the time just doesn’t work….sometimes you just have to do something for yourself….this is my Gold Coast Marathon journey

CLIENT LOVE ❤️ Meet Tiarna❤️ Tiarna started running 4 years ago to keep fit and healthy. She is a regular at Ballarat @parkrunau and @theathletesfootballarat run club and a member of our Evolution Runners community. She has come a long way in her running over the last couple of years and this year she will be running the @nycmarathon. Tiarna’s life was touched by cancer when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a tough time but thankfully her mother is one of the survivors. Tiarna and her mum work to help bring awareness and raise funds for breast cancer research. This year Tiarna has pledged to raise $10,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation which funds breast cancer research and are working towards achieving zero deaths from breast cancer by the year 2030. She will be fundraising as part of her training for the New York City marathon in November. Everyone here at Evolution Runners are 100% behind Tiarna and can’t wait to see her reach her fundraising goal and cross that finish line in New York! Head to @tiarnas_run_4_research_2019 to make a donation, get involved with her major fundraising event on March 6th in Ballarat and show your support for such a great cause. We love you Tiarna ❤️
