Pat,

It's a bit like: "Well Pat, I know you were ok at running and can also string a few words together but HEY if you're going to put on a Pre Gold Coast Shindig how about providing someone fresh to motivate us - someone that doesn't usually yell at us a couple of times/week".

Well….your prayers have been answered!!!

Goodbye to: "PCRG Pre Gold Coast Pasta Dinner/Shindig"

Welcome to: "A motivational evening with Brennon Dowrick"

Brennon Dowrick is one of Australia's most successful Olympic gymnasts and one of our country's most innovative, entertaining and effective motivational speakers. Brennon's inspirational and unique presentation is unsurpassed.

Here's just two testimonials:

• Fiji Visitors Bureau: Just to let you know that Brennon was just FANTASTIC. What a terrific performance .... the customers just loved him. Can I say the women, especially in the front of the room went wild when he went to take off his clothes down to his Luxaflex branded shirt. He spoke brilliantly.
• CPA Australia: Brennon delivered a unique, energising, entertaining and quite literally a 'gold medal' presentation to a very diverse audience. Brennon definitely managed to pull off to the highest level, all aspects of his presentation. Leaving those who attended feeling inspired, Brennon is certainly one of the best motivational speakers I have seen. With 100% positive feedback, I would have no hesitation in using Brennon again or recommending Brennon to any organisation.

I have 43 seats available (sure to go like hot cakes) and I can assure you this is a night you'll not want to miss.

There will be a charity auction with proceeds going to the Black Dog Institute. I'm therefore in need of auction items PLEASE.

I've decided NOT to hold a 3k Time Trial between now and Gold Coast. We do have a few more solid sessions to knock over before we ease back though so stay true and stay tough!

I don't want to sound like a stuck record but PLEASE be careful during this next 2 ˝ weeks and do your very best to avoid injury and illness. Make sure you have a good warm up - run each stride faster than the previous. Put something warm on straight after your run. If someone near you is sick - head for the hills no matter how much you love them. Planes/trains and automobiles - be especially careful.

Life's great and catch you Thursday and/or Friday!

Cheers

Pat
