I work as a) a gigolo but it has been pretty slow for over a decade. B) wholesale footwear and clothing business. I live in a) a big shoe with Mrs Hubbard in a kind-of Toy Boy arrangement. b) a house at Camp Hill, have lived in Brisbane since that guy smacked me on the ass and made me cry and joined the Pat Carroll running group in a) a moment of complete insanity. b) March “04, c) all of the above.

My favourite restaurant is a) anywhere that serves Brussell Sprouts and Tofu. B) Bedi’s Indian Restaurant—South Melbourne.

My earliest childhood memory is a) completing a perfect piano rendition of Beethoven’s No.5 symphony at age 4. b)being in trouble for eating the dead moths that collect behind the curtains (but that was weeks ago now).

Getting caught coming out of an adult shop by your parents really sucks.

My favourite movie is a) Police Academy 6 b) The Shawshank Redemption.

Brisbane City is just north of the gold Coast because I looked on a map.

My regular holiday destination is a) Ipswich b)Port Douglas.

If money was no option I would a) run Forest Gump style across America for 10 years b) buy an island in the Bahamas and invite my closest 50 female friends(or strangers) for month long pool parties.

It frustrates me when every time I need to pass wind when running, there are always lots of females around.

I have been involved in running since 2002 and my most memorable running experience is the runs I did in 2001. None!

I enjoy distance running because it makes me appreciate lying on the couch.

My favourite run is a) running away from the cops after committing a break and enter b) byron bay---along the beach, around watego’s, up to the lighthouse and back, then to dinner with no guilt.

Motivation is something a)that others seem to have plenty of b) that will go away if you ignore it.

Injuries are a) pain disguised as worse pain b) natures way of saying “take it easy”.

Turning gay was a turning point in my life because I realised the guy I have been sleeping with for the past 6 years had been lying when he said that he was just checking my temperature.

The Pat Carroll running group is getting larger despite Pat’s reputation (see next question).

I prefer running in the nude because all the elite runners do it and I hope that it will rub off. (their performance that is).

Running is difficult (nothing more to say here).

The best advice Wayne Carey ever gave me was to treat other peoples wives as you would treat your own.

Kim Beazley inspires me to keep running. I will probably regret writing these silly comments but conforming has never been my strong point.

Gerrard is a long time friend of mine and also a long time blind person. Gerard has been blind since birth and has competed for Australia in the Paralympic Games and World Championships on the track and also in the Marathon.

Gerrard needs guide runners to help him train and unfortunately his guide runner reserves are light on at present.

As a result I have invited Gerrard to join us at the group sessions. So, keep a look out for the blind guy at training, you are sure to see him before he sees you!

If you are interested in helping Gerrard and being one of his guide runners you can contact him on 0407144211. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to know more about what being a guide runner involves.

Congratulations kate, you've done it again!

Just in case you have seen Kate in this pose at training the reason is she will be leaving us soon and has been practicing her goodbyes.

So far this year we have raised $910 for Camp Quality. At an average cost of $500 to send a child affected by cancer on camp we are well on the way to making a difference to two lives.
