| Con Peter and me selfie post 22km on b2b morning. |
 |
| Con ran the 10km b2b and 12km warm down clutching his prized FREE Courier Mail. Pete told me he has had it mounted and displays it at home. |
 |
| I have never seen a man happier than when I gave Con two free Garmin Tee shirts! "3 free tee shirts and a Courier Mail! I'm absolutely thrilled to bits" Con gushed to his coach and mentor Peter Reeves "can life get any sweeter?" |

OMG the resemblance between the GL and Con is unnerving . Con's even starting to pick up Scottisk traits and mannerisms . Looking for free gifts and not wanting to give a freebie up . Did he actually carry that newspaper for 12k ? That's a feat worthy of the GL for sure .
Yea thanks for sharing those snaps with us Dave . That is a strong resemblance between you and Con . By the way don't take much notice of Tom . He was always putting his foot in it as a boy so I advised him to take up the bar . Get paid for putting your foot in your mouth . Go into politics . Even better .
An uncanny resemblance . Dave's a little greyer of course and has a few more wrinkles ( thought of Botox) but then Con is a little younger . You only pick up the little things like that when you see the pair side by side . Who's taller? Hard to tell . Did you have to include the Robot . That guy's got shifty eyes . I wouldn't buy a used car off him that's for sure .
Gee I never realised how ugly the robot was . For Christ sake Dave can't you air brush him out or something . Takes the focus of you and your identical twin . Was he disfigured in an industrial accident ? There is plastic surgery even for reports . Does he always have a permanent snarl ?
The Robot looks more ugly than normal because the McSweeney twins look so handsome . Wouldn't that be Dave on the Robot's right and Con wearing the hat and taking the selfie to disguise the balding receding hairline ?
Fans collecting spittle expecterated by the side of the road by the so called, "McSweeney twins " have done so apparently to confirm or deny ( through rigorous DNA testing ) once and for all the validity of such rumours . Traces of Garmin Lama spittle have long been sold on the black market in China as an aphrodisiac for impotent male marathon runners but now it looks as if his Twin , Con Dimauro's fluidly digestive enzymes may reap the same benefit as well because scientific results confirm they are in fact identical twins . Professor Thistlewaite has put his reputation on the line and was on record as saying , " the odds are 20 billion to 1 against them not being anything other than identical twins separated only by a cultural divide of upbringing . One privileged and sheltered the other shockingly abused and neglected . Sociologists will be keen to study the role of environment in determining human behaviour and it will be interesting to see whether the twins would agree to be studied in this fashion ." More is certain to follow on this intriguing development which would defy the imagination of even the world's most imaginative writers of pulp fiction .
Don't be be fooled by the Robot lurking in the background with that disingenuous half smile. I received a report post warm up, that the Robot and his band of malcontents, pressed ganged, poor Con into handing over his prized Courier Mail ( the centre page had a immaculate pull-out spread of the Garmin Lama ....now a Collectors edition) and the two Garmin Lama T shirts. The Robot had persuaded (bullied) Con to ensure all items were signed by the Garmin Lama.
Within a few hours the items appeared on eBay and the bidding was ferocious. The Robot will no doubt be the sole beneficiary of the sale.
Con was left lamenting the loss of his prized possessions but received no sympathy from the wicked coach. This is the gratitude the Garmin Lama receives when extending his love to the unfaithful. The Garmin Lama is of course aware of these low cunning plots devised by the Robot but as the benevolent one tolerates the trickery of mere mortals.

Wow ! That's one for the books . I actually thought it was pretty obvious but didn't want to say too much . Will there be a family reunion ?
Braveheart can rest assured now knowing that injustice has been reconciled with a brotherly reunion of divinely Budhist dimensions . The robot should not be vilified in this matter as his misguided mischief has been channeled by those benevolent Gods that rule the fates of both Lamas and men and been put to good effect and cosmic justice ensured . The ways of good fortune are often difficult for mere mortals to trace in the mysterious and timeless tracks of the timeless human story . Good turned to evil and evil to good confound only men and not the gods that rule our fates . In this case the robot has played into the hands of divine providence , a fact already noted by ever vigilant park run organisers . There is a very real possibility that before the end of a year now known as The Year of the Lama , a special " divine providence "park run will be organised at Kirra park run ( Con Dimauro's home circuit ) to celebrate the lives of these brothers now united again and to herald in a 2015 park run season that will reach to ever new gloriois heights of human endeavour . 2015 the year of the Garmin .
That sounds like a load of (expletive deleted ) bull s$&t to me . The Robot and his gang of malcontents have made this rubbish up just to have an excuse for a free breakfast B'que at poor Con's expense . And hoping the GL will attend and give everyone a blessing and free shirt and of course expect Jim to provide a surf ski for every one to go Oz paddlling with not to mention poor Olga expected to take happy shots . You have to hand it to the robot he's a conniving bugger . As long as Tom isn't invited I guess we'll come . Just post a date . By the way I'm not convinced yet they're twins but Con and Dave are dead ringers for each other for sure .
Gives you a warm fuzzy feeling when you see two brothers united like this . And identical twins . But hang on wasn't Lucy Lovelace the GL's sister and not love object . I've been OS and am trying to keep up with this soap opera . That would make Con Lucy's brother as well . And wasn't the GL actually the Robot's father who was only pretending to be old and senile to get back at him when the GL was forced to flee Scotland to Australia but was turned around by border patrol . Then his boat sank and he ended up in Manus Island . Am I getting this right ? Call me simple but I think this is a heap of ( expletive deleted ) bull s**t . Why can't people accept the bleeding obvious . The GL is a highly evolved spiritual messenger from the planet Zela . Tom is a refugee from the planet Zorba destroyed by a super Nova with refuges pouring into this planet with border authorities doing nothing to stop it . And whose this Braveheart ? Come on you guys lets get serious again and focus on real serious social issues again . Like how do you get bag pipes to produce flames ? Everyone wants to know that . Come on Braveheart . You'd know .
Does seem odd Tom and Braveheart showing up on this blog at the same time . Maybe they're both from the planet Zorba . And what about Coach Dion . Something not right there as well . The eyes . When Aliens take on human form they can never get the eyes right . Notice that ? I think the GL is the only thing between us and this planet being taken over by Alien discontents . I think this blog is all that stands between mankind and the abyss . The hopes of an entire planet rest on the GL breaking those 5/10k age records . That will send a clear message to those reptilian non entities on Zorba that they can't come to this planet and kick us around as if we were cosmic s**t .
Come on you guys this blog is getting (expletive deleted) ridiculous . You honestly think the GL breaking 2 age records records is really a matter of life or death ? Well I've got this to say to you lot . It's far more serious than that . This is the defining moment of human civilisation and endeavour . Everything that has come before is but a preparation for this moment . The human species stands delicately poised . Should the GL succeed human aspiration moves upward to sun lit Garmined plains . If not than a dark age may befall us as humanity plunges into a self absorbed cybernetic abyss from which there may be no coming back . Only the GL stands between that abyss and the redemption of mankind . Don't underestimate the cosmic significance of these record attempts . Don't be complacent to the danger . Forces and powers far from beneficent and from beyond this world are watching and waiting . Waiting for the GL to falter . They've examine us as microbes under intense magnification . Only the GL has not been found wanting . Our prayers and thoughts go with him . What a champion for mankind .
Our 8 year old son came up to me the other day and asked , " what happens if the GL doesn't break at least one record ?" I didn't want to worry him unduly . I simply said it was the end of civilisation as we now know it . Imagine a world with no Xmas . No treats . No Santa Claus . No dreamworld . Doesn't bear thinking about son .
You are a very funny old fella. Am hoping when I hit 80% you can teach me the tricks of both the running and comedic trade.
I can't stand the tension . When will the records be attempted ? No wait a minute , better we don't know . If he fails chaos and pandemonium could result . The stock market will crash . The Dows ordinary index will be up the proverbial creek . Better most of humanity goes about it's self absorbed business in blissful ignorance . Poor near 80 , an old dog who may never learn any new tricks . Let's all just pause for a moment . Whether you're a struggling farmer clinging tenaciously to existence by the banks of mother Ganges , a Trappist monk in a cave near Katmandu or an age graded tragic attempting a park run this week end , pause for a moment and offer prayer that the GL succeeds . Failure is an option humanity cannot afford .
According to Con Dimarou , the long lost twin brother of expatriate Scotsman Dave McSweeney , his sibling has accepted the invitation of close friend and supporter , the Aga Khan and gone sailing on the Khan's yacht along the Barriier Reef ( or what remains of it thanks to short sighted State Government policies ) . Dimauro says it was essentially to escape the intense Media focus and scrutiny in regards the Garmin Lama's attempts next month to restore peace and harmony in the universe and reverse the fortunes of mankind singlehandedly through an act of Athletic heroism . Dimauro is on record as saying , " Dave's holding up well under the pressure . I ran in his place at Kirra today and had the world's media totally fooled as usual . Gave David enough time to slip away with his entourage and enjoy some well earned R&R on the Khan's yacht . The picnic will be over soon enough ."
You never said anything to me about going off cruising in the Whit Sundays on the Aga Khan's yacht . Anything else you've been keeping from me. Not impressed David .
Just face it Lucy you're yesterday's mud cake darling . Nothing worse than a possessive old tart !
Grave fears have been expressed for the fate of the Garmin Lama with rumours that his yacht has entered the dreaded Coral Sea Triangle which is the Southern Hemisphete's equivalent of the infamous Bermuda Triangle . All radio communication has been lost with the expatriate Scotsman who was described by his twin brother , Con Dimauro , as being depressed following the failure of the Yes vote to get across the line in the recent Scottish independence vote . It's not the first time McSweeney has run into trouble on the high seas as he documents in his autobiographical, The Mr.Garmin Story , how he was tossed overboard into the sea from his refugee boat following accusations he was a Jonah by superstitious Tamil hysterics. In a remarkable tale of survival he was adrift for days before washing up ashore on what was to become his adopted homeland after a number of High Court challenges as to the validity of his refugee status. Certainly the world waits with anxious and collective breath for word from the wayward seafarer and prays the curtain isn't drawn prematurely on a remarkable career and with records yet left intact that rightly belonged to a man who has galvanised the public's imagination as few Scotsman have done before or since .
