A VIP Run

This morning started like so many other mornings lately -with me at the Gym doing a 15-20min run on the treadmill (did 3km this morning) followed by an hour of work on the strength training.
Straight after that I whizzed over to Southbank to catch up on all the goss from the latest Time Trial at Pat's session that was on this am too.

After much chatting and hearing about everyone's PB's or good efforts Tess and I stood around waiting for the official opening of the Brisbane River Run. A measured run with km markings starting at the Ship Inn at Southbank and going around the river.

After a breaky of yoghurt, fruit kebabs, juice and muffins it was a 3km run with Pat Carroll (while all the dignatories watched...) and the Brisbane State School Cross Country Team. It was heaps of fun. Pat cut the 3km run short (as no-one could see us) and we all turned around just after the first 1km marker. I felt good - it meant today I had run 5km with no pain or injuries. Cool.

Bit of a pity that running with all the food in my gut made me sick as afterwards...but ya get that.

Great photo op with all the pollies afterwards - good promotion for Pat and the team from the Gold Coast Marathon who were also there.

See below - Tesso and I with Anna Bligh.

Nice photo of you two. Are you running at the Gold Coast Clairie? If so, what event - the 10k or Half? Take it easy with your comeback - keep up the stretches.

Anna Bligh is not your mother or auntie is she?? There is a striking resemblance there don't you think?.

Does that mean you got a PB for your "3K"?
