Pat,
The Sydney Running Festival takes place this Sunday
and if you are running in any of the events I wish
you all the best. It will be the first year Wayne
Larden, race director and a good friend, will
be in control and I am looking forward to helping out
on the day as one of the event mc’s.
Wayne has managed to lure Shaun Creighton out of
retirement and Shaun has managed to shed a
few ‘meat pie’ fuelled kilo’s and will start as one of
the race favorites in the Marathon.
I had a most enjoyable 90min run with Shaun
on Sunday and after the run I was lucky enough to
record an interview with him.
I have instigated a 3K challenge in Brisbane which is
open to any running groups which care to join in. I
am keen to see how the concept works and I believe
this is something which can eventually be staged
nation wide.
The concept involves runners of all levels from
within a group contributing to the end result and it is
sure to develop camaraderie and a
supportive environment.
Time will tell if the concept is a winner.
Cheers
Pat
