KRs' Run Reminder and Update: 10 May 2012
Dave Holmes
Fellow Runners,
Another terrific turn-out last Thursday which, no doubt, was again inspired by the gorgeous weather we’ve been having. As Amanda and Dave C put it, ‘lovely evening for a run and a couple of drinks.’ The weather spurred-on a number of outstanding performances. Melissa, for example, ‘Smashed 1: 47 off my time. Happy Me! Birthday week cider tonight.’ A risible Robin also showed good form, both on and off the field: ‘Good temp run on the back of running 2 K from home. Tottometer readings were stellar tonight: 8/10.* Could be the beautiful weather. Meanwhile Ann and her acolytes ‘Enjoyed more intervals again. Good group. Start of my weekend.’ Part of this ‘interval entourage’ included Megan: ‘Last night of intervals before going for a PB next week.’ (We hope that Megan achieves this goal tonight.) There may well be another recruit for interval training, a certain Paul D: ‘Exactly same time as last week—think I need to do Ann K’s intervals if I want to improve.’ Carolina, one could suppose, enjoyed her own form of ‘interval work’—‘I stopped at the Opera Bar for a drink!’ We’d like to welcome those new to the KRs, including Angus: ‘Great first run, great marathon recovery.’ And Alexander: ‘Enjoying the running. You’re a great group!’ OK, once again, some upcoming fun runs to think about:

KR Ski trip 19-24/26 August (Gareth)
After the success of last year's inaugural ski trip, we're planning a larger scale effort for 2012, and are hoping to get a big group together to go to Thredbo. All levels of skier and boarder are welcome, from total beginners to experts. The tentative plan at this stage is to have a week's rest following the City2Surf (Sun Aug 12) then go for 4-6 days skiing from Sun 19th - Fri 24th / Sun 26th. Depending on numbers we'll rent one or more lodges / apartments to make the apres-ski easier. Indicative costs would be around $700-1000 per head for the accommodation, and about $100-120/day for ski pass / lessons / equipment hire, depending on what you need. We can pool cars and cook together, so transport and meals should be cheap. The only likely blow-out will be the wine bill :)If you're (even vaguely) interested please let me know (gda...@sxvp.com) so I can put you on the 'maybe' list. I'll firm up numbers over the next month or so and book early to get a good place. If you want to find out more or discuss options just catch me on a Thursday night . Hope to see you there. Gareth
