40 by 40: OFFICIALLY TICKED ✨
This morning I crossed off a big one from my 40 by 40 list…
🏃♀️ Run 50 parkruns ✔️
It’s taken time. Early mornings. Hot runs. Seasons where progress felt slow.
But today I ran my 50th parkrun AND finished under 30 minutes… in this humidity 🥵
A double win I didn’t rush, didn’t force, and didn’t give up on.
With my 40th birthday landing next month, the countdown is officially on 🎂
This list has quietly shaped the last little while of my life. Some goals are big, some are simple, all of them meaningful:
• Running a half marathon and a full marathon
• Volunteering at parkrun
• Watching the sunrise and sunset in one day
• Writing a letter to my mum
• Hosting a big backyard party
• Going to New Zealand and seeing a real-life kiwi 🥝
• Finishing a crochet blanket (slow progress counts 😌)
And in between it all, building Crinum Spa Retreat into the calm, grounding space it’s meant to be.
There’s still plenty left to tick off, and I’ll be sharing the journey as it unfolds. Because growth doesn’t arrive all at once… it shows up week by week, choice by choice, sometimes sweaty, sometimes soft 🌿
Here’s to goals with meaning, bodies that carry us forward, and celebrating the milestones along the way 💙
