Friday 29th September
The run started off so sunny that we had to delay the start so Lisa could pick up her sunglasses. By the time the run had finished however her sunglasses were definitely not required. Lisa did great though, pushing herself to complete the longer distance of 6.6miles. This route has a lot of long hills, great for getting the fitness up in preparation for the Great South Run. Well done Lisa. Greg also chose the long route this morning and had a superb run averaging 10mins per mile even with all the steep hills, well done Greg!! Well done also to Mark G, running on his own he kept his focus and more importantly his pace to complete the 3.8miles non-stop, making it the furthest he has run with the club, well done Mark!! Richard and Nick set off on the 5.1 mile circuit, Richard unfortunately had to pull up short with a sore knee. Get well soon Richard. Nick continued though and finished in style with a fast average of 8mins per mile. Last time on these routes next week.

Monday 2nd October
Blimey its October already and only 2 more Monday night clubs before the GSR!!! The weather this evening was perfect. Slightly warm with a cooling drizzle. Lovely!! It must have helped though as everyone today improved on last week. Cath and Celia ran further than ever to hit a new PB on distance, well done girls!!
Charles and Lisa improved on last weeks time on the 5.1mile route. They were joined this evening by Rich, who, I think, had his shoelaces tied together. He tripped over several times on the route, even falling over again while stretching at the end. We may have to wrap him in bubble-wrap next week for protection. Nick also almost had a fall but his calf seems stronger now and withstood the added impact to keep him on track for a full recovery and a good time this evening. Jo was back tonight too and smashed the 5.1 mile route in great fashion, still undecided about doing the GSR, I think she should try the longer route next week. Carl and Sarah both stuck with the longer hilly route and both showed great improvement week on week. With Carls sprint finish shaving 6 seconds off last weeks time and Sarah chopping 10 seconds off her previous course record. Well done team!
Same routes next week, I am not here but Running Club will continue thanks to Carl filling in for me. I have heard there may be a guest appearance next week from “Exocet Mike”, so watch out – speedy’s about!!
