What a great turnout this morning at Narangba! Despite a few regulars not turning up we still managed 9 runners. At about the 8k mark we seemed to split up in all directions as different distances were attempted. Well done to Sarah who kept up with the guns for most of the distance and clocked up her 2nd 10k run in recent times.
Next Tuesday is at Narangba Station at 6:30pm, Thursday is at North Lakes at 6:30pm and Saturday is at Burpengary Station at the new winter start time of 7:00am.
Also on Saturday is the next Caboolture Road Runners 8k Series run. A few of the regulars will be going to that but hopefully there will be enough remaining to make Burpengary a worthwhile run.
Something coming up that will interest the mountain bikers among us. Stir knows some guys who ride from Bunyaville to Samford most weekends and have invited us to join in. It’s a 50k round trip and great preparation for MTB enduros. Hopefully we will be organising something in the next couple of weeks.

It was great to see so many runners turn out to run the set 8km course this morning at the Enviro Park. For the official times you will need to visit the Caboolture Road Runners website.
Next week we have planned three runs. Tuesday is the Narangba Station as usual at 6:30pm. Thursday is the 2nd of our trial North Lakes runs meeting at the main lake picnic area at 6:30pm while Saturday is from the Narangba Station again at 6:30am.
If you have never run with us before due to the day or time we run then maybe the new Thursday runs at North Lakes will suit. We are a friendly bunch aged anywhere from the teens to 60 and running at paces from sub 5 minute k’s to around 6 minute k’s. Everyone is welcome to join in.

We had a great run this morning at DBay with a few younger runners joining their parents for various distances. Well done to Leah and Tom for achieving a 6km milestone while Lauren completed her first 10km. You should each feel very satisfied with your achievements. For the rest of us it was either 10k’s or 12k’s.
Next week we are at Narangba Station on Tuesday at 6:30pm and the Environmental Park on Saturday at 6:30am. Again, the environmental park is very safe and suitable for younger runners when accompanied by an adult.
Following this morning’s run we discussed the future of regularly scheduling Mt Mee runs as very few of the N’Ba Runners regulars actually attend or plan to attend. In future they will just be included in the calendar as an alternative to a local run and then only if we know that the Caboolture Road Runners are also planning to run there.
See you Tuesday at the station, Ron

last night’s run saw all Tuesday records broken with 10 runners showing up. It was good to see it was finally fine enough for Will to come out of hiding however a delay at the level crossing meant a staggered start. Tony was also caught up in traffic in his new space shuttle but managed to gain some ground over the course. The pace was quick compared to recent times with both Bens, Cara and Dave working hard at the front of the pack. Further back, Francis and I kept each other company and honest over the hilly 9 k’s. Joe dropped back a little to run with Sue who is improving quickly and well on her way to a pb in the Mothers Day Classic.
To complete our workout, we tried to push start Cara’s Nissan Patrol without success. Dad was called and as the Patrol wasn’t at the station this morning things must have worked out.
Conditions were hot and humid and the wet (Paduan) singlet award this week goes to Stir.
See you at Mt Mee on Saturday, Ron

Hi Everyone,
It was an excellent run this morning at the Environmental Park with 12 of us taking on the mud and mini lakes that had formed with the past week’s heavy rain. We had a few Enviro Park first timers and several younger runners from my middle distance running squad also showed up.
Next week we will be at Narangba Station on Tuesday night at 6:30pm and Saturday morning at 6:30am.
Hope to see you there, Ron

Hi Runners,
It’s been a big week with Tuesday attracting eight runners while five of us turned up for today’s 11.5k’s around Burpengary.
Next week it’s Narangba Station as usual on Tuesday at 6:30pm for anything from a hilly 8k’s to an extremely hilly 10k’s or more. Will and Tony are starting to push things a little so depending on who you team up with you should find a running partner who matches your level.
On Saturday we are at the Deception Bay foreshore again at 6:30am. It’s out and back so it can be whatever distance you like. It’s also flat so an ideal opportunity to get some distance into your legs. As one of our safest courses it’s ideal for the juniors who join in occasionally.
I am feeling the call of a night trail run again. Let me know if you’re keen and we can plan one around the next full moon.
Ron
