Don't be afraid of the dark!

A little moonshine never hurt anyone!
Hi team!
With winter darkness and short days well and truly upon us, most of us are leaving work in the dark. You may be wondering how to get out and about despite the lack of daylight- perhaps you are even feeling a little wary of the shadows... But loads of great stuff happens in the darkness! Parties are on, stars come out, nocturnal animals show their peepers... oh, and Buzz is on after-dark as well!
Come and join us for safety in numbers! Tuesdays are our run/walk sessions leaving 6pm at the Goodwill Bridge. Friday mornings at 6am we head off for our ride.
Also, make sure to mark next Tuesday in your diaries. It's our end of month drinks- time to celebrate again and this time  it also coincides with the last day for entry into the Gold Coast Marathon. If you've been dilly-dallying, it's time to put pen to paper and sign up! Select the 'existing team' option (Buzz Brisbane) and use our team code 'Buzz2012' to be part of our team. Join us for drinks at the Ship Inn after our run next week and meet others who are 'doing' Gold Coast too.
See you at the Goodwill soon!
:)

Hi all!
Hope you all managed to get out and about to enjoy some sunshine, blue skies and some of the great events that were on over the long weekend... fun runs, triathlons, ocean swims, cycle trips... Whatever you did, we hope it inspired you and got you buzzing!

This week we are on again for 6pm walk/jog at the Goodwill Bridge this Tuesday evening and Friday 6am for a cycle.

Remember too, it's time to sign up for the Gold Coast Marathon. We need to secure our team entry spots by the 30th of May. So if you're feeling inspired about challenging yourself with a winter running programme, it's time to get on board! Sign up for the 5.7km, 10km, half or full marathon using the team entry name 'Buzz Brisbane' and our team password buzz2012. Spread the word and get ready for a fun weekend of running, activity and socializing!
See you soon :)
