rarely see CR gear around brisbane.
i guess i'm pretty slack in the CR gear wearing stakes myself - wore the hat once in the last 6 months or so.
ran into parso and lady jove within minutes of one another down near goodwill/kp yesterday.
not one of us wearing CR gear.
parso was wearing his mt mee singlet (damn good singlets arent they!).
i promise to wear my hat at least once this week.

I  knew there was a reason to run while all the traffic is slowly crawling past - more chance of being sighted  :D . However, next time I'll take my beloved CR cap off so that you're allowed to report it in this thread...  :P

[harviekrumpet]

doh, sorry!!!!!

Gnome, keep all your clothes on please.  :P

No, that's in the wrong direction.

[Amjan]

I saw Don Juan this morning, cruising through the Cross in his 6ft singlet, presumably doing his last official "jog" before he returns to "running". Looking very smooth.   B)

[PodRunner]

Think I saw Amjan in R4YL cap at Darling Harbour yesterday. I had wife and three minipods in tow(wifey b'day). Was that you?

[Amjan]

Yep! I'm sad I did not see you Podrunner, as I would have liked to check out the minipods.

[ladyjove]

undercover brother - I too promise to wear cr gear at least once a week. I will be wearing my cr singlet this afternoon.

[Dom]

Right LJ - i'll be on the look out for ya, but might be out after you've finished!

Might well have to don the CR cap myslef as well (normally gets 2-3 outing a week with R4YL getting the others).

Just to give you all a heads up i'll be along Riverside drive, Southbank and Goodwill Bridge

[undercover brother]

thats the spirit guys!
see u out there.

[phYx]

Spotted: male in CR tshirt with female running south down Upper Heidelberg Rd near Bell St at 9.45am Sunday

[toriejane]

Oh u havent spotted me....lol, I always run with my c r cap, which I must say is just the best.....Look out for me....LOL

IF IT WAS EASY EVEYRONE WOULD BE DOING IT....  B)

[Fossil]

I think I spotted ellie80 in disguise - 8am passing coffee shop in Paddo

[Ellie80]

yep that sounds about right sorry I didn't see you back! apologies if I didn't hear you - I think I was enjoying some rather loud tunes at that point of the journey!

[chilliman]

I believe I spotted CourtlyLove in her car turning left at the Emerald Round-about heading towards Monbulk last friday evening around 5:30pm, obviously a 'non-gear' 'non-race' sighting.

Now if we had those CR Bumper stickers it would have been a positive sighting i'm sure and under a different thread title How are we going with the stickers by the way ?

[Beki]

Spotted Ellie80 at about 6.55am running up Lang Rd this morning (two sightings in one week!)

I would have beeped but I was half asleep on my way into work   You've obviously pulled up pretty well from Sunday's efforts

[Ellie80]

woah its a spot-a-thon! i didn't see you beki but today I DID see brightshoes and had a good chat in the coffee shop that he sits in to spy on runners (or walkers in my case)

I knew there was something I still had to do, or rather... we have been undertaking an exhaustive process of community consultation and are currently in the midst of policy development on this important, perplexing and somewhat controversial matter.  Only when the full ramifications, implications and obfuscations of the said vehicular attachment's shape, size colour and design have been taken into account, reviewed by our solicitors and then voted and agreed upon by a fully representative CR committee will we be releasing a further update on the matter.  

or

ask me again at the CR drinks next week

That's my office!

[courtlylove]

One sample, chilliman? I'm ready to take 10 the moment they are produced!

[wombatoutofhell]

not really a sighting-but I was sitting at Casey Arc yesterday watching the revolving advertising screen (i was bored waiting for family) when a big photo of courtlylove came onto the screen under a sign reading "meet our staff".  Apparently her favourite food is food.

Nice sighting Wombat, where actually is Casey Arc, i'll drive past and check it out.
Part of Fountain Gate ?

CL, you should have mentioned your favourite Web site too

[wombatoutofhell]

Casey Arc is the big fitness centre/swimming pool complex on Princes Hwy in front of Fountain Gate.  I dont know how long you have to watch the sign to see CL smiling down at you!

Think I may have made another non-gear (sort-of) CR sighting Wed night about 5:50pm at Ferntree Gully station. A guy in a 6ft track t-shirt got off the Belgrave bound train.

Good chance that he is a CR like a large proportion of those that have run at 6ft.

[wobbly man]

Spotted Mrs Lost Boy and the Jnr Lost boy this morning dashing through the rain heading for the dentist.  I hope that smile of yours is still intact Mrs L!

[slowaz]

Woops, a belated sighting report.

Went for a run along the Maribyrnong River from Brimbank Park last Tuesday evening after work.  Recognised Morley's car in the car-park and initially wondered if a spotting a car (sans CR) constituted a sighting.

Ran along the trail nearly to the 4 km mark and saw Morley resplendent in his CR cap so ran back to the car park with him. Wow an official sighting an great that we are both back running after injuries (well sort of).

Later edit OK so I've posted this in the wrong thread. My sighting was in CR gear. As stated Morley was wearing his CR cap. Have posted the sighting in the "wearing CR gear" thread.

[Tuttle]

Undercover VatMan, spotted at lunch time today, at UQ.

[courtlylove]

How embarrassment!!

Yeah - I work two shifts per week as a gym instructor at the ARC and they recently started the "Meet our staff" promotions.

Chilli - they didn't give me the opportunity to promote my favourite website - which of course would have been CR.

WOOH - I'll have to look out for you there in the future!

Papa L 3:55pm running on edge of Penno Road  - no footpath- outside Kings.  Flying.

[sook54]

I keep seeing a tall fast mopheaded runner I'm pretty sure is Gigisix around the bay (not wearing CR gear). He always looks very puzzled when I say 'Ciao Gigi!' so maybe it's not him...

[sook54]

Pretty sure I spotted Captain Smeg (not in coolrunning gear) about 6.50am in Glebe (Bicentennial Park) - he didn't see me, was with 3 or 4 other runners looking v. serious. This was my first foray into Pyrmont/Glebe area on my long run, obviously lots more scope for CR-spotting.

[Vurt]

spotted this morning:
action incognito at the bay
The owl on Norton St

[Beki]

Spotted cross training (i.e. shopping) at Bondi Junction this morning, Ellie 80 and Vurt  

[Ellie80]

hehe we also did some weight training with a total of 8 books bought nice to see beki and blkbox!!

[Minus15]

Spotted  on Anzac Pde.Little Bay, 6.30 this evening guy with CR cap running  at a good speed. Didn't have time to  yell encouragement whilst driving past.

[Horrie]

That would've been me coming to the end of my 14km run last night.

[nabiya]

I posted in the wrong thread last weekend (CR gear sightings).

Anyhoo - saw Morley on his bike in Brimbank Park last Sunday. Gave us a friendly good morning and was on his way before I even had a chance to say 'hey!'

[blair]

Sighted Skin & Bone running along Wynnum Rd at Murrarrie at about ten to five this morning with his pack on. I was riding on the other side of the road. I gave him a wave but don't think he recognised me.

[Action]

Sunday 8:32am, Don Juan crossing Pyrmont Bridge,
Monday 1pm'ish, langswm cruising Hickson Rd

[Beki]

Blkbox and I ran (or rather, walked) into Will on Saturday arvo coming back from Bondi beach.  We seem to see more CRs shopping or relaxing on the weekend than running these days  

[quackbaa]

So I guess I saw Action running around the outside of Pier One yesterday a bit after 1 PM?  I was going opposite direction so too quick to react.

[Ellie80]

Saw Becky O in fine shape this morning around the outside of Centennial Park - looking fast and fit!

[CoolwalkerDavid]

I saw the barefoots (ie barefoot plus 2) at the Henry Lawson Club Werrington last Saturday watching Beauty and The Beast - they seemed to enjoy it very much !!!!

[Bernie G]

Spotted Ellie80 this morning when leaving Centennial Park and then Fake Plastic Trees along Doncaster Avenue, both dressed in black  

[Ellie80]

Hello! i didn't see you - but I was a bit wrapped up in my own 'world-o-pain' hope you had a good session!!
