Its been a busy time of year, but I am impressed so many of you have been dedicated enough to keep the running going. Whether it is to work off those mince pies or keep your running fitness up! You have been all very good in keeping the miles up and the inches down!!
Monday 28th December
It was like Enjoy Fitness had turned in to a rehab centre for this evenings running club. They all stood up one-by-one with confessions on their over-indulgences of Christmas. Plus all the runners this evening were recovering from recent injuries. So I guess “rehab center” can be used in both senses!
It was great to see Nick back running this evening. His first run with us since May I believe. He took it very steady under the instruction of Sandy!! And made it round with no problems, well done Nick and welcome back!
Sandy himself decided to go against the advice he gave Nick and blasted his way round the course. Pete managed to keep in Sandys’ slip-steam and they finished together in a very quick time!
Greg having completed this route twice already managed to get lost after he missed the very discrete turn in to Peters Road (easily missed). He continued up Brook lane to the top and then back down Lockswood Road. A slightly longer route than planned, but that suited Greg and he completed the extended route in a great time!
Well done runners. No run on Friday, so HAPPY NEW YEAR! New routes for next Monday! New Year New Start!

Jo 4.2 miles 50:00 11:54
Gemma was determined to run the 5.2 miles and tried hard to catch speedy Jo and Sue. Jo was a little nervous as she hadn’t been running for awhile plus work has been very demanding but Mum (Sue) and Daughter did brilliantly as usual. Greg took on the role of pacemaker especially for the 4.2 milers and made sure that they followed the correct route or that was the plan although they did have to stop 3 times due to being lost.
Monday 21st December
Sandy 3.8 miles 31:00 08:09
Gemma 5.21 miles 56:23 10:49
Louise 5.21 miles 56:23 10:49
Carl 5.21 miles 56:23 10:49
Sandy was very speedy tonight knocking a minute off his time last week; in a hurry to get to his Class! Carl, Gemma and Louise enjoyed a pre-Christmas Social chat as they paced themselves confidently around the route. Louise was not feeling too brilliant with a chesty cough at the beginning of the run but forgot about that as she ran round.
Well done team, some great times and distances in here!!
