Tell us who you are, who you run with? And how long have you been running for?
I’m Sharon from Melbourne, mum of two and someone who thinks a “fun weekend” includes a long run and the perfect coffee. I run solo and with the Crosbie Crew, I’ve been running for 8+ years now.
Why do you run?
I run for the challenge, the mental reset and overall wellbeing.
What motivated you to take on your chosen race this year?
The half marathon felt like the perfect distance, long enough to sound impressive, short enough to convince myself it’s manageable. I wanted something that would push me, scare me a little and give me a reason to buy more running gear.
Do you have a goal?
To finish strong, enjoy the experience and hopefully get a great time.
What’s your favourite SHYU?
The race socks. Clean, elite and matching! Somehow they make me believe I can knock minutes off my time just by putting them on.
Racing as part of Team SHYU, what does this mean to you?
I’m honoured, It means being part of a team that makes you want to show up and push harder. There’s something pretty special about being surrounded by people who are all chasing big goals.
