Friday March 7th
A hot day on the South coast this morning and as Mandy said it was like running on Sticky-tape!! Instead of introducing new routes today we re-ran the country lane route from 3 weeks ago as it was such a nice day. Everyone enjoyed it and there were some very good times too. Lisa had a great run and was just 3 seconds per mile off another new PB!! Although the huge fly she consumed on the way round may have given her some wings!! Sharon, as always, was on hand to push and motivate her round the course, finishing just behind her. Sue was back with us today and ran well, she was enjoying running so much she decided to take the longer route on her way round and completed the 4.7miles in a very good time! Mandy was struggling with a back problem today, so wisely took the shorter route, she did fly round it though! As for Richard, well….. he wanted to go for a shorter faster run this morning. We settled for the 4.1mile route and he absolutely flew round, beating his previous PB by a massive 44seconds per mile!! This was the fastest I had run since the GSR as well, so was well puffed at the end! Great run Richard!! Awesome!!

Monday March 10th
Well, new routes this evening and they took a bit of explaining!! About 15 minutes actually!! I must have been clear though as only one person went off track, any guesses who??
The girls played it safe choosing to go for the shorter run as there was less chance to get lost. It worked too as a flying run with Nina, Rose and Lydia resulted in the later finishing with a new PB!! A 11second per mile improvement as well. Awesome ladies well done!!
Rich, Charles and Pete teamed up as they felt safety in numbers was preferable and less likely to go off track. They completed the 4.6mile route well and Charles not far from his PB again!! It was great to see Mother and Daughter, Jo and Sue, out running again together and the pair of them looked great, although slightly sun burnt! Sue is improving with every run back now and is looking good for the London 10000 in a few weeks!
Sharon did well chasing Greg for most of the run, until he missed the last turn down Greenaway Lane, the distance wasn’t much different to be fair so a good time for both of them again this evening. Greg’s fastest so far in 2017!!!!
Carl, Gemma and Nick opted for the longer challenge. Nick set the pace although Carl did well until he had to off-load his carrots again outside Brookfield school, why is there always Carrots?? He did his best to try and catch up though and with a bit of downhill running coaching he picked up the pace towards the end to finish just 1 second per mile off his PB!! Gemma finished in a great time too, especially as she has run everyday for a week putting in 33.7miles this week and 34.8 last week. I think someone must have the running bug!!!??
Unfortunately it will be the same routes next time, but hopefully you will be used to them by then. No Running Club next week due to the Bank holiday!!
