“If you really loved me …”
May 6th, 2008 by AdrianC’mon on guys where are ye?
I have been told that registrations have been great for this year’s mother’s day classic (dare I say it close to record levels) but there needs to be more men putting their hand up to participate on Sunday & show that we are fully supportive of the great work that the National Breast Cancer Council do and want to do our bit & help save the lives of women in this great country.
All you girls get the men in your life out there on Sunday to support the Mother’s Day Classic. Get your husbands, boyfriends, brothers, sons or even grandsons to sign up for Sunday.
Give them the guilt trip & tell them that something like “if you really loved me …”
The reality is that the guys will love the day - they get a bit of fresh air on a glorious Sunday morning, get a bit of exercise, they are surrounded by hundreds upon thousands lovely ladies and they are also doing something special for a great charity as well as their loved ones.
Chookie is pumped up for a good walk on Sunday - whilst she is intending on only walking I am sure the usual adrenaline will get to her & she will start running at the starter’s gun. Watch out for her elbows as she tries to run past ye!
Thank you to the event organisers and those that have entered the Classic. It will be a great day & once again prove to be my favorite day of the year. I can’t wait.
All the very best & I wish all mothers out there a very special Mother’s Day. Enjoy the classic & enjoy the entertainment & lunch afterwards with your families. Ye are all superstars!
To my mum, I just want to say how proud I am of her & that I love her very much. I hope you have a great day Chookie.

Hi,
Just wanted to say my boyfriend is doing the race with me (and he did last year too). I think he is still wishing I will pull out of it but I won’t, even looks like Adelaide will have a nice day for it. I don’t know what he’s worried about, he’s a Personal Trainer so he can run it easily. I can still only do 2.2kms. Have even roped my sister into doing it this year too. She can run for much longer than me so the competition will be spurring me on. Nerves are building as we speak. Last training run tonight.

Adrian, My 20+ son will be doing his first ever walk/fun run at the Brisbane MDC this year…so don’t worry, their numbers are growing!

Well done Mel and well done to your boyfriend in supporting you.
Good luck with your run & I hope that you enjoy the sibling rivalry!
PS If she is faster than you I suggest you resort to some tricks such as tying her shoelaces together & put itching powder inside her running gear … I am thinking of doing that to Chookie to try & slow her down. You may want to intriduce her to a good looking personal trainer & get him to walk with her rather than run. Always a good way to slow her down!! Whatever you do, have fun!
