There was recent speculation that the dude on the far right of picture is yours truly.

Greg Sockhill tried is hardest to follow in my foot steps.

I work as hard as I can. I live in great comfort compared to all the homeless people at West End. I have lived in Brisbane since 2002 and joined the Pat Carroll running group in 2004.

My favourite restaurant is any that my darling husband will take me to! Our absolute Favourite is the Hanuman in Darwin.

My earliest childhood memory is being shot in the bum by my brother who inherited our granddad’s rifle.

As an adult I don’t think anyone would dare threaten me with a rifle. Anyhow I can run pretty well.

My favourite movie is The Colour Purple.

Brisbane City is a great place to live because it is full of addicted runners like me.

My regular holiday destination is the bedroom – I like to sleep. Oh yeah and Hervey Bay.

If money was no option I would have lots of babies and build a large homeless centre to feed, clothe and house the less fortunate that we all turn a blind eye to everyday. And I have a mad desire to buy my husband a Porsche.

It frustrates me when my legs won’t run as fast as I want them to.

I have been involved in running for as long as I can remember and my most memorable running experience is always the last PB I did.

I enjoy distance running because it is hard, requires effort yet is extremely rewarding.

My favourite run is any run I do with friends. Actually as long as Pat is not on my shoulder yelling for me to push harder, it’s a good run.

Motivation is something I don’t need any help with. I am keen to run faster, longer and harder and will do what is required to get there.

Injuries are #% ^&@#@#

1974 was a turning point in my life because I learnt to walk, and that always helps when you want to be a runner.

The Pat Carroll running group is the best thing I have ever done. That’s where I met Tesso and all my other running friends.

I prefer running in the mornings with the Pat Carollers because we are all highly motivated and encouraging of each other. It is a great way to start the day.

Running is easy. Running fast is difficult.

The best advice Pat ever gave me was PAIN IS TEMPORARY. I try to remember this often – in fact at each of the speed sessions when I am in immense pain.

Tesso inspires me, her constant motivation and encouragement to other runners and her general commitment to the running community in Brisbane is greatly admired. I will never regret attending Pat’s speed sessions. Though I will regret not giving 100%.

At the bottom on my sites GROUP RUNS page you will find a link to previously posted group member profiles.

"Our Group'' is void of superstars, everyone respects each other regardless of the pace they may run.

It is my aim to spread the same philosophy throughout the running community.

The Brisbane Running Group 3K Challenge, on October 21, will reveal the strongest group overall and each runner will play an equal role in determining the outcome.
