And The Oscar Goes To ....

This morning at Pat's was the filming of the PCRG Summer Series video and what a huge turnout, close to 100 of us I'd say. There was a real buzz in the air, everybody was ready for some fun. Dan and Peter even fronted in their trusty super-hero costumes - The Phantom and The Flash :-)

The frivolity was short lived as we were sent off on our 3k warmup, followed by continual hill reps on the grass in The Gardens. Pat organised for bongo drummers Hugh and Sacha to come along, they stood halfway up the hill and did their stuff. They are so good, and such cool dudes.

With the Caboolture 6hr run coming up this weekend rather than bust a gut on the ups and recover on the downs I went at about 90% on the ups and tried to keep a steady to semi-fast pace on the downs. Don't want to go breaking anything now.

It was the best morning! I can't wait to see the vid, it premiers it at the 3k Brisbane Running Group Challenge on Feb 16th. Needless to say amongst all the hard yakka there was just a bit of playing up for the camera, especially during and after the warmdown ... hey Clairie :-)

Just a bit of playing up????

I can't believe everyone was laughing at my bag I was carrying around with lippy and hairbrush in it. Not to mention my change of outfits just to keep the sponsors happy :))))

It was a fun morning and I had half forgotten we actually had to do some speedwork when we were sent on our way up the hill. I just love that session - always gets you even if you only run 90% effort!!!

Can't wait to see the video, should be a hoot. What do you think we look like struggling to do pushups after riding those horses?????

Real prizes? No wonder 100 runners turned up. Should we try it here?

Can you put it on "You Tube" for the rest of us to see?

LLs took the words out of my mouth! You Tube please :)

Isn't Caboolture flat? You only have to go at semi-semi-fast pace for 6 hours ;)

Hi Tesso

Sorry I haven't posted for a while.
Been trying the last few days but for some reason it was taking forever to upload the comment page.
Did you change format?

Anyways, thru now. As for Pat's session this morning I reckon the Oscar for "Best supporting" socks should go to Matty!

By the way loved that latest song and especially the last line of it.

Thanks
