speedygeese Monday training

Firstly, happy birthday to Sarah Pau, Roger Pilkington, and Robert Ey (who sometimes reads this stuff), all having birthdays today.

Monday is our main training session at Parliament House. I notice the boom gates for paid parking are finally being installed: this won't deter us from meeting on Mondays. Parking will be free for the first two hours (or so I am told) and if we get there early we can always exit and re-enter.

On Monday 8th instead of training we had our speedygeese Christmas dinner. The dinner was a great success: here's the dinner roll: Andy, Bron & Shane, Dan, Dave, Garry, Jenny & I, Kathy & Geoff, Kym, Mick C, Neil, Phill, Ruth, Vanessa, Warrick, Cathy, Colin, Jen & Richard, Isaac, Lola, Dom. I noted that attending were the President of Athletics ACT, and the just retired President of the Canberra Runners Club, and the Secretary of the ACT Veterans Athletic Club. Quite impressive!

On Monday 15th, we did hill springs x 10; Bron & I ran a good 8k early, then we were joined by Andy, Colin, Daniel, Gary, Isaac, Jessica (new), Jen, Mick C, Ruth, Steph (new), Thomas (new) & Warrick.

There is no break: Monday training will continue at Parliament House right through the holiday season.
