Monday 24th April
A good turn out this evening especially considering we had a lot of runners in yesterdays Southampton half marathon! A massive well done to Nina, Carl, Louise and Gemma who ran yesterday for 13 miles and still appeared today, albeit a bit sore!
The thought of yesterdays half marathon didn’t seem to effect Carl though, infact it just seemed to spur him on as he smashed his PB with the club and ran the furthest distance on the night of any of the runners. Amazing Carl, well done!! Gemma and Louise both achieved their Personal Bests yesterday in the Half-marathon, so tonight was more of a cool down and loosener. I hope it did the trick!!
Nina also had a great run yesterday, but was happy to team up with Mandy and Lydia to help Lydia to her furthest ever distance run – a fantastic 4.6miles non-stop, plus she was only 3 seconds per mile outside her fastest split time as well – phenomenal Lydia, well done!
Sue and Jo didn’t run the marathon yesterday, but they did go for a run and they did get lost – in Warsash!! An extra couple of miles was added on to their run yesterday and I think Sue wanted payback. In a bit of a “hare and tortoise” run this evening, Sue said she wasn’t feeling well and dropped back, only to come flying past Jo down Lockswood Road and win by 8 seconds!! There was no catching her!!! Sharon did well to keep up with the girls for the first half of the run, but she ended up “covered in blood” Quote Carl!!! after an altercation with a bush!! I think it jumped out at her! Anyway all was well and when she cleaned up no stitches were required.
Finally Rich, Charles and Pete teamed up again this evening. A good run saw Charles and Rich just miss out on their PBs by 5 and 8 seconds respectively. Next week boys, you’ll smash it!!
Final run on these routes next week!
A big thank you to Charles for covering the Friday running club for me in my absence last week. Between himself and Lisa they had a great run repeating the Newtown Road / Hook Park Lane route. Unfortunately I mislaid the times, but I know they were quick!!!
