Friday 22nd January
It was a very wet and dark Friday morning for the runners today, which I think put a few off! We had a team of four however, 2 managed to fall asleep on the way round (note to self….must make the routes more interesting). I can’t actually remember anyone falling asleep during a route before but for Chester and Arthur is was the perfect excuse for a nap! The boys were being pushed by the girls (nothing new there!) with Gemma and Charlotte completing the 2.6mile route in just 27m43s!! I had promised them no hills for today while they were pushing buggies, but forgot about Dibles, ooppss! Sorry! They did it though, finishing looking like drowned rats but refreshed. Welldone ladies on your dedication this morning!
Monday 25th January
Carl 4.8 miles 48:56 10:12
Gemma 4.8 miles 48:56 10:12
Pete 3.7 38:55 10:31
Nick 3.7 38:55 10:31
Rose 3.7 38:55 10:31
After being thoroughly embarrassed having been told that my colour coded map of Warsash indicating the different routes resembled a phallus, two Teams set off.
Gemma arrived just in time to be told she would be running 5.7 miles with Carl. On their return they informed us that they had completed the shorter route. Gemma announcing the reason for changing their proposed distance was because Carl had an injury to his knee with Carl correcting her and explaining it was his ankle …. I think they should have concurred before relating their reason!
Pete, Nick and Rose ran brilliantly as a Team with Rose announcing that the guys really had motivated her resulting in her hardly being able to catch her breath on finishing! well done Rose. Pete and Nick decided to have a real burn up near the end and there was nothing inbetween them. A fab run especially for Nick after his prolonged injury.
All in all the run (now named by Jo as the Willy Run) was enjoyed by all although caution had to be taken crossing roads and waiting for traffic. Good I didn’t run with anyone as everyone knows how dangerous I am crossing roads etc.
Many thanks to Sharon, once again, for covering the running club in my absence. Well done team!!
