About Chooky Chasing Life
 

 

G’day, I’m Kim-Louise — aka Chooky.

​

I’m a 47-year-old runner, wife, mum, and storyteller living in beautiful Queensland, Australia. This November, my husband and I celebrate 30 incredible years of marriage, and together we’ve built a life grounded in love, adventure, and resilience.

​

I write about travel and movement — the ordinary ways I keep choosing life. This space is for women over 40 finding their way back to themselves.

​

I’m a proud mum to three amazing kids, and as a family we’ve faced life’s challenges head-on. In 2022, cancer entered our lives, and since then we’ve been navigating it together — leaning on strength, hope, and unwavering support for one another.

​

I discovered running in early 2024, and it quickly became more than exercise. Running is where I find clarity, test my limits, and reconnect with myself. It’s opened the door to new goals, unexpected joy, and a deeper appreciation for what the body and mind are capable of — at any pace.

​

I also have a deep love for travel and slow adventure — exploring new places, chasing start lines, and creating meaningful memories, whether on the road or at home with my family.

​

Life isn’t always easy. It can be messy, hard, and deeply unfair. But it’s the only life we get. Through chasing dreams, attempting the impossible, and finding joy in the small, ordinary moments, I’ve learned that forward is still forward — no matter the pace.
