Sarah’s Triathlon Fundraiser!

By Sarah Carvalho

I’ve just registered for the Every Woman Triathlon in the hopes to raise money for breast cancer research, to prove to myself that I can do this and to set an example for my girls. Did you know that 9 Australians die from breast cancer EVERY day?! Every dollar counts and gets us closer to zero deaths. 

The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) is Australia’s leading national body funding game-changing breast cancer research with money raised entirely by the Australian public.

I believe research is the best way to prevent deaths, and improve how breast cancer is diagnosed, managed and treated. 

Click 'Donate' to make a secure online donation and help me reach my goal. Every donation, big or small, will help me get there. Please donate today.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be issued with a tax-deductible receipt via email as soon as you make your donation.

Thank you so much for your support!

Back to running!

Monday 23rd Jan
So after a few weeks of resting the knees I’m back to running. I halved the amount of time i ran to try ease myself in. My left knee has become sore again. My physio has said it’s because I’ve lost so much muscle over the past year. So single leg squats and orthotics are the treatment for now. Hopefully I can build up my running distance soon enough ?

Too hard too soon?

Monday 9th Jan
So my knees have become incredibly sore when I run. My treatment does cause joint pain but I have a feeling this is from going too far/fast before my body is ready. So I’m slowing down the running for now until my knees can recover then I’ll start up again but at a slower pace. This body has lost a lot of muscle so I need to be mindful of not injuring myself. 

Training!

Saturday 7th Jan
Slowly building up my strength! I’ve been at the pool every day this week. Tomorrow I’ll be hitting the pavement and getting the cobwebs off my old road bike too

Training!

Wednesday 4th Jan
Did some laps at my local pool today! Feeling good! Also in the process of seeing if my local gym will help me fundraise
