I work as a PE Teacher at Mansfield
High School. I live in Acacia Ridge. I have lived in
Brisbane since 1975 (year of birth) and joined PCRG
in March 2005.
My favourite restaurant is Red
Rooster, Wishart (especially on Tuesday and Thursday).
My earliest childhood memory is
being kept in a plastic box for the first seven weeks of my
life. No wonder I’m claustrophobic.
My favourite movie is Caddyshack.
My regular holiday destination is
?????? tough decision. Only get 10 and a half weeks each year.
Easter: Coast/ Body Surfing, June/July: Golf Courses of
Brisbane, September: Sydney/Cairns, Christmas: Sunshine Coast.
If money was no option I would
become a caddy on the PGA Tour.
It frustrates me when I go to the
freezer and there is no ice-cream left.
I have been involved in running since
I was at high school and my most memorable running
experience is anytime you are competing and you here people
cheering.
I enjoy distance running because its
non contact and you get to explore the outdoors.
My favourite run is along the
coastline between Kings Beach and Moffat Beach, Sunshine
Coast.
Motivation is something that is
constantly questioned. Especially when you love to sleep as
much as I do.
Injuries are your bodies way of
saying take it easy for a little while.
Being told I wasn’t good enough to make the
school cross country team in younger years was a turning
point in my running life because I knew I deserved to be
there and proved that person wrong.
PCRG is a place where everyone is
treated equal, trains as hard as one another and the rewards
are shared within the group.
I prefer running in little running
shorts because it makes my skinny legs look big.
Running is a lot less difficult
for me as I only have to carry 55 kg around.
The best advice that I take into a
race is that “pain is created in the mind ad the mind doesn’t
feel pain”.
