| The start! |
Welcome to our newest member Catherine and thank you to the group for giving her our usual friendly welcome. Sam it was lovely to see you again too.
The weather was good to start with and then the heavens opened and the rain started but it certainly did not dampen our spirits.

Terry did the first lap but injury prevented him finishing. Well done for trying and we wish you a speedy recovery.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their run and seemed pleased with their achievements. It is a flat place to run, and very pretty too. I believe there was Swan and cygnet patrol at certain points of the run. What a delight that must have been to see this morning.
Bev and I were energetically cheering you on and trying to capture pictures of your determination and emotions There is some great pictures too on the Congleton Park Run on Facebook!
I enjoyed watching you run through but equally would have liked to have been part of the run. A big thank you goes to Gemma for organising you all.
You are all special in what you have achieved but today's run cannot go without thank you all for the team support for Lady H (Heather Cooper) as she came into the finish. Well done it was lovely to see you coming in surrounded by running buddies.
