Along with a record crowd of 36,000, my son William and I ran in the @melbmara festival on Sunday. Beautiful day, great to finish in the MCG

9 months ago I was in a wheelchair & couldn't run for 6-months

I still travelled Asia & Australia, crawled in data-centres, volunteered for NFPs and solved tech problems

12 weeks ago I trained for my first 42k @melbmara and Bam! Got my medal last Sunday.

It’s #medalmonday, here’s a few things I learned on the road to this year’s #halfmarathon @melbmara. The Melbourne running community are THE BEST. If you can’t run a marathon, it doesn’t matter - do what you can, with what you have & where you are at. Running is a journey.

[Brendan Tohill @brendanTohill]

40km in the ⁦@melbmara⁩ loved the event. Every picture tells a story. Stoked with a 12 min PB & we now have raised over $2226 for ⁦@RedNose_Aus⁩ #MelbMara #MARATHON #VANA #REDNOSE #PB ✅💯🏃‍♂️🙏❤️👊🇦🇺😎

Thank you to everyone who donated. Very proud to have donated over $2,800 to the hardest working female athletes in Australia @SoftballOz . Couldn't be happier to run over 21 kms in the @melbmara and thanks to my beautiful wife who’s my absolute rock of support!

#projectmarathon complete! 54 weeks since my first run of just 1.1km, it was pretty emotional running into the MCG to finish the @melbmara. Such a great event with amazing volunteers. I have the best, supportive family and village. Grateful. #medalmonday #MelbMara
