Andrew Young's Run for Starship|
Thought I'd spare you the shot of me in my running gear
Me and my mate Tony Wall (big-time, tough-guy investigative reporter) who I'm running with. We don't normally sit this close!
Me and Lucy Lawless at last year's Starship Ball
|
STOP PRESS: Just finished my run - in 1hr,47mins! I had to totally rely on all of your sentiments to get me through those last, agonising kms but I did it. There was literally bloodshed, as I had a bleeding nose within 10 minutes of starting, which wasn't great, but managed to slog through with no other ailments. Now time for a shower and a power nap. Thanks to you all for being there for me. |
