Bridge to Brisbane

On Sunday morning I will be joining thousands of other people jamming one lane of Brisbane's Gateway Bridge as we make our way to New Farm Park.

No, it's not protest march lamenting the demise of Friends. It's the annual Bridge to Brisbane charity run for the benefit (this year) of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association of Queensland.

Ging was the instigator of this philanthropy, but I'm looking forward to it. I haven't been on a fun run in years. We're only doing the 4.25km run instead of the 12km, and I've just looked at the map and we won't be running over the bridge after all. Bummer.

A heart-stopping breakfast and coffee in New Farm afterwards is going to taste mighty fine.
