Howdy fellow runners, as RD is celebrating it’s 6th birthday, we are starting an A to Z series for our Feature Friday articles to commensurate this joyous occasion!
To set the ball rolling on the A to Z, we have one of the A-grade dedicated photog of RD. All thanks to him, we have our professional and flattering pacer profile pictures and lovely mementos of our running adventures with RD.
A is for Andrew!

Some Nugget facts on Andrew!
1. You’re always cafe hopping. Can you tell us what actually is your profession?
I sell commercial insurance! I’m usually at a cafe if I have just met a client or I am running an errand, if not I’m mostly in the office where coffee is free =)

Happy happiest 6th birthday, RD! Thank you for making training runs fun!
Special thanks to the photogs too! We won’t have pictorial memories of our running journeys without the behind the scenes heroes aka photographers who scarified their sleep/ training hours to commute to training location not to run but to take pictures!
