Saturday 20th October

Before the run - sunshine!

Today we met at 9.00am in the car park by the recreation area on Adlington Road (near the Vale Inn) - just by the new skateboard park. Click HERE to see the location.

Another lovely day and a great turnout (14 runners plus Neil & Phil). Phil Gaskell (C Group Leader) also came along to join the group to see how we do things (thanks Phil).

We ran in two groups today with a large group (with Phil) running the entire CAFOD route (4.5 miles) in 51mins and a smaller group (with Neil) doing almost all the route (4.1 miles) in just under 50 mins. There was a bit of competition today as the larger and 'slightly faster' group tried to catch the other group. With some good tactics the second group kept ahead and finished a few seconds before the larger group.

There was some very good running today with everybody pushing themselves to 'do that little bit more' whether it was to run a bit faster, less walk-breaks - it does not matter!

So - well done, great turnout, good running and a good long 'natter' in the Waterside Cafe afterwards.

Try to get at least one mid-week run and be ready for speedwork on Saturday 27th October!

ps Sorry about poor photography today - my phone camera is not so happy with the bright sunshine and shady paths
pps We hope that Louise's hamster gets better soon.

Back safe & sound ... just a few seconds before the second group

So fast - just a blur...

Phil & Cheryl (thanks Phil!)

Cooldown before coffee
