Wow - it's the 60th week in a row I've sent you this weekly founder update. This week it's on a Wednesday, instead of the usual Thursday. The reason is because tomorrow (Thursday) is ANZAC day and out of respect I thought I'd get it out to you today. When I look back at why I started doing this, it was because I wanted you to know more about the person behind the brand. As a small business it's something I can do. It's not something the big international brands can do. Well they can, but it would be an email from a board of directors in suits (ha).

Is it just me or is time flying? There’s so much happening at the moment there’s not a lot of time to stop and reflect. I’ve found myself working a lot more recently. And I say working. But when you love it, it doesn’t feel like work so much. It’s an exciting time in the Runly-sphere. We’ve got lots happening, lots of plans in the works and now it’s about just making sure we make it all happen!

I've had a pretty wild start to the year! There's been so much happening, there hasn't really been a moment to take a breath! Are we really at the end of March already? Feels like we were just bringing in the New Year last week. Easter? Stop it!

At around 8pm I came to the realisation that for the previous four days no enquiries from our website’s contact form were getting through to us. The good thing is, we have a lot of ways to get in touch with us - live chat, social media, and of course replying to any of our emails directly. But I do fear that we have missed some enquiries from our customers, which really rattled me last night.

It was a long weekend in Victoria last week. It’s fair to say that my crew and I did not waste it. Stinking hot, 40 degrees couldn’t stop us. We made the drive up the highway to the Victorian Grampians where we spent 3 full days exploring this magnificent region. And, you guessed it. The whole crew was wearing their R700 Hydration Vest.
