It began like most days.<br />

A delicious, peaceful warmth being interrupted<br />

by an alarm which was followed by a grunt.<br />

As one foot chased the other to the coffee<br />

machine, my internal sun began to shine.<br />

A few minutes later the bitter beauty was doing<br />

its job and my nticipation of the day drew a<br />

smile.<br />

Today’s run has been 20 years in the making.<br />

Each kilometre would say thanks to the hundreds<br />

of driven Queenslanders that held a reverence<br />

for their <strong>MX5</strong> above trivialities like sleep, rain &<br />

cold.<br />

Hundreds of Queenslanders had built our club<br />

for fun and as I backed out of the garage, I said a<br />

silent thanks.<br />
