Last day of September. Good time to look back before the monthly check-in lands tomorrow. Drop one win from this week AND one from the whole month. Big or small, it all counts: → Trained on a day you really didn't feel like it → Beat a number from the start of the month → Protein and water on autopilot now Doesn’t matter what it is 📈 WHY BOTHER Most progress is too slow to notice day to day. Writing it down is how you actually see it. It also makes Friday’s check-in a lot easier to fill out. Post yours below, then hype up at least one other person 👇 I’ll go first

Big shout out to @Joanne Fahey for getting all the little things right even when self reporting low energy for a few weeks. The video attached is an example of the consistency that gets results (no empty circles) drop a 👏 down below for Jo

We've got a tie at the top this week. @Cathy Pank and @Joanne Fahey both finished on +15. The 30 day leaderboard decides it, and Cathy is sitting on +70 for the month. That means Cathy takes the $25 Coles voucher. Congrats Cathy! Joanne, that was as close as it gets. The board resets, so this week is anyone's. 🏃 PARKRUN SHOUT OUTS Clonlea Park throws some hills at us on Saturday's, and the turn out was awesome @Cathy Pank ran her 3rd fastest 5km on a hilly course, then finished with a big push at the end. A PB is coming soon, I know it. @Ryan Heath completed his 2nd parkrun and ran his fastest 5km yet. Massive. @Kelly Dunstan gave it everything. Those hills caught everyone off guard and she still worked as hard as anyone out there. @Bethany Mcdonald ran 5km for the first time in a long time, and she's starting her build up to a 10km race. Awesome work! @Kathy Black pushed hard the whole way and ran 4km of a hilly course. That's real progress and I loved seeing it. @Harry Stevens and Sophie walked it with the dog. Getting out there is what counts. Every Saturday, same time. Come join us. 🔥 SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE The September Challenge wraps up soon and Jack is still leading the pack. If you want to knock him off the top, now's the time to post your attempt. Drop a 👏 in the comments for Cathy and the parkrun crew.
